Doesn't Always Dissolve
on August 1, 2012
Posted by: rgen54
from Des Moines, IA
I have always used Tide and have been completely satisfied, so I was excited to buy the Pods. However, I have found the undissolved pod in my dryer on several occasions. I didn't discover it until I was removing the clothes from the dryer. The clothes were spotted all over from the undissolved detergent. I had to wash them again. After it happened again tonight, I will not use the Pods again.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I LOVE tide pods. I hadn't received a free sample but while shopping, I noticed them in the Laundry isle and thought I'd give it a shot. In the past, I always overused my detergent and didn't really get my money's worth in the long run. I tried the tide pods and after the first load of laundry finished, I was hooked. My clothes smell amazing, feel clean, and look fantastic. Not to mention I didn't overuse the amount needed and the work in any water temperature so if I want to wash in cold water to save energy, I can. These. are. worth. every. penny.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Different scents

I tried the pods and liked them but that said, if it's the first time you were going to use it get a small sized package because the different scents
are drastic... some good some awful! I had to give away a big batch of mystic forest, it was that bad. If I had not try Summermeadow first I would have given up on this problem. Test your scents before committing to a larger size

I'm sorry you don't like some of the scents we have available in the Tide PODS. I'll let the rest of our team know how you feel. Thanks for your review!

Best thing that ever happen to laundry!!!!

When I first saw these I was very intrigued by them, and after reading a substantial amount of reviews, I decided to try them. I am glad that I did because these pods work very well on your clothes and leave them fresh, clean, bright and smelling good.I have noticed a difference in how my clothes looked, as they do look brighter and stains were removed, all the first time.There's no need to use more than 1 because it would be just a waste, unless your clothes are muddy, greasy or extremely dirty. Even with that, you could pop one in and do a soak first, then wash. We use to much detergent anyway, all you need is 1.5 ounces or 3 tablespoons or less and your done. The scent at first may be over powering but, after you wash and dry your clothes, the scent will be mild. I have the Spring Meadows pods and they smell great, like spring time flowers. Some users have complained about blue stains on their clothes and the packs not dissolving, I have not have that issue, as I washed light colors on warm, darks on cold and towels on warm and have not seen any staining, what so ever. Your suppose to put them in first and then load the washer, maybe there not doing that or their over loading the machine or its their washing machine ( I have an old Maytag from the 80's). I would soak my clothes first then wash them or dissolve it in a cup of water, then add it to the washer, to make sure they dissolve properly.. Some also complain about the pods not having a pungent smell .That should be the least of your concerns as your main concern should be about having clean laundry that gets out all the stains and do what it's supposed to do. I did notice a mild smell on large loads of clothes and a pungent smell on small loads but, what's most important, are that they clean great and they do. You will not be disappointed, if you use them right.

Good concept, bad outcome
on August 6, 2012
Posted by: Lynn9511
from Baltimore, Maryland
I liked the idea of these to make laundry easier and to eliminate any waste with my powder but they have been a total fail. I started noticing that my husband's work clothes came out of the wash with dirt and odors and I had to rewash them. Ultimately the pods stained and ruined an entire load of whites with pink spots. I wish I had read the reviews before using them since many people have mentioned having that problem. I also wish P&G would offer some solutions on their website and not comment that they have not experienced that issue in testing. Looks like enough folks have had the problem to warrant a solution. I threw away the package and went back to my powder.

Stained my clothes
on August 8, 2012
Posted by: DawnMarie
from Oregon
My new white dress and 3 pairs of shorts are ruined with blue spots all over them. I have tried stain remover, bleach, powdered tide and about anything I could think of to get the stains out. Nothing worked and I am throwing my clothes away. It works fine for dark clothes but I would never again use on whites. I am confused as to why Proctor and Gamble says this has not happened in the testing, there are to many people in the reviews that this has happened to. I find it hard to believe it never happened to them. Next time before I buy a new product I will read reviews.

Pods a bust
on August 11, 2012
Posted by: toomuchlaundry
from Bernville, PA
I tried a small bag of Tide pods to see if I liked them. They seemed to work OK, but not as well as the liquid, but I purchased a larger quantity for their convenience. I only used 3 of the pods from the larger bag, and when I unzipped the bag for another load, they had all melted together into a pile of gunk. Also noticed pink stains on my sheets and didn't know what caused the marks until I read the reviews and put two and two together. I have used stain removers and other detergents on the stained sheets to no avail. Very disappointed, since I could always count on Tide for the tough stuff.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We have strict quality standards and wouldn't expect the Tide PODS to met together if stored in a cool dry place. Any stains you may have can be removed by rewashing with your favorite stain treater and detergent. If you still have further questions, please call us at (800) 879-8433. Thanks!

Melting Tide Pods
on August 13, 2012
Posted by: Frita
from Cincinnati, Ohio
Most dryers are located next to washers, therefore the most common place for easily available laundry detergent is on top of dryer. Tide pods melt together if even slightly warm. Solution, if this happens place them in refrigerator, they will easily come apart.
