I used the Tide Pods detergent save space and time for doing my landry. The pods don't delute well in the machine it left spots all over my clothes. I was very disappointed because it messed up some of my favortive clothes. I tried to re-wash them and the spots still didn't come out!!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Will never use anything else again

Years ago, I switched to inexpensive powders and liquids and paid the price with dingy whites and stains that just wouldn't some out.
Then I saw the ads for PODS - and I thought, how stupid.
Then I tried them. Our clothes smell great, and the whites have brightened substantially. This makes it fast for me, and easy for my kids when its time to swap the laundry. I was also told by our Maytag repairman that the PODS are the best thing you can use because incorrectly adding too much detergent can cause the seals of a front loader to grow dry and brittle.
I don't know why some people are having problems with them not dissolving completely, I've used these now for a year and never had that problem UNLESS my washer was messed up. But I know why their washers are smelling bad - that's a front load washer problem. Our first front loader was disgusting to smell and after buying the second, I finally discovered you should ALWAYS leave the door to a front loader open when it is not in use so the remaining moisture in the drum doesn't sour. ;) I've not had any problems with my second front loader smelling bad and we never ever close the door unless its in use.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Pod Skin sticking to my clothes - rewash rewash
on April 8, 2013
Posted by: Tinkerboo8

So I googled this problem to see if anyone else was experiencing it and here it is........I was thrilled to purchase these even though MUCH more expensive than my current brand because clothes smell good and it's less messy. However I'm finding a white residue on many of my clothes and then I found the pod skin sticking to clothes. Rewashing everything and ruined clothes do not save me $$ or time. I have started just snipping pod with scissors and squeezing it under water while filling to get all the stuff out and discarding the pod skin - I will not put the pod in my washer. I'll be using what I have and moving back to my old brand and hope they resolve this issue.

Disaster

I first started using the Pods at my MIL's and boy do I wish she never bought them!! It seemed like it was working at first, but I didn't realize how long it actually has been ruining my clothes. As you can see, MANY people with front-loaders are telling you that it doesn't dissolve in cold water-- LISTEN! I've been finding little plastic pieces on some of my clothes for some time now and realized it only happens to cold cycles that I wash at her house. This week I'm house sitting and praying that the gigantic purple/pink/blue stain covering at least half of HER king-sized sheet will come out! I noticed that the Tide employers had the audacity to not only remind others to not overfill their load, but to not run cold cycles in the winter! Well, 1. I know when to stop adding laundry and 2. it was 90 degrees out that day. Unfortunately I was in a hurry, so I didn't see the stain before putting it in the dryer (but I did notice a weird smell too; it must be what others talked about). If P&G is concerned enough about dissolving issues to recommend not running cold cycles in winter months (and to always use the warmest water the clothes will allow), then it shouldn't be advertised to dissolve in cold water!! How many people have to report damaged/ruined items for you to actually do something?? Giving bad advice to random reviews doesn't cut it! I will definitely warn everyone I know about this!!

Tide Pods
on December 27, 2013

from Thornville, Ohio
I was told by my step-mom to give tide pods a try. She uses them at their house, and says that they keep my brothers(who is disabled)clothes looking new even after accidents. We however, had not had such luck. I have had three experiences where the pod did not dissolve and left huge blue stains on our clothing. I prefer Tide over any other brand but I am disappointed by these Pods.

Terrible

I purchased these pods and can't figure out how to use them. Every time I use them I end up with the undesolved pod stick somewhere on my clothes. I washed my clothes and packed for vacation only to find that the pods never melted and changed to hard lumps of dryed detergent shriveled up on my limited wardrobe that I traveled with. Really annoying.
Would like a refund !

Purple Splotches Everywhere

The pods seem to work well on colors but leave dark purple splotches on all whites. I've tried everything to get the stains out without success. Any suggestions?

I have used Pods for quite some time. I had been very satisfied with this product. Now this last container I purchased leaves a gumy residue on my clothes. Causing rewashing. I doubt I purchase this product again
