Ruined linens

I bought Tide Pods for use on vacation as a convenience. The first time I used them I found a bluish slime on a pair of khaki shorts. I thought maybe I had left something in the pocket. Then, after washing a very expensive set of white sheets, I found the same blue stains all over them. Then read the reviews. I even tried putting a pod in a pan of boiling water to see just how hot it would need to be to dissolve. After 5 minutes in a rolling boil there was still blue plastic residue on a spoon. Would never buy again!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Stains whites

I am a nurse & wear white scrubs every day. We started using pods because they were convenient & could be used with HE washer. I started noticing purple discoloration to my scrub shirts & undershirts a couple months ago. Bleach doesn't help. Spray & wash doesn't help. I now have to go and buy new scrub tops. I still like Tide liquid, but pods are not a good product.

Frustrated!

I am a loyal Tide customer and have been for many years. I started using Tide pods about 6 months ago. I had clothes occasionally show up with weird purple stains. I thought something had been mixed in with my light clothes by accident. I just recently discovered when washing something in a very small load of all whites that it is the pods making the purple stains on my clothes. It is impossible to get the stains out. Even soaking the clothes in chlorine bleach doesn't get it out. I am so disappointed and I really don't want to go back to powder or liquid. I have no choice but to do that or switch to a brand that has pods with no dye. I have definitely purchased my last Tide Pods, at least until they come out with a dye free version.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Pods get stuck on clothes
on November 27, 2013

I had to quit using the pods. Although I love the idea of the convenience the pods continue to get stuck on my good towels, pillow cases, white tops etc. Its very frustrating to take things out of the dryer and find the pod remains stuck on something. I can't trust them anymore with our good clothes and towels. I am very particular! Also I have a brand new Samsung front loader. If the pod isn't on the bottom it ends up un-dissolved in the door gasket. Then I wonder - are my clothes clean? I won't use any more.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I bought pods for the convenience. I have ruined two pairs of my good jeans when using the pods. They left white bleach spots which do not go away. I will not be buying them again.

purple splotches on white t-shirts and goo too.

I tried these pods for the first time while on a business trip. On a new pullover shirt pods left residue ie "goo" because it got wrapped up in my shirt. I used them in a white load and pods left purple blotches on almost everything. The commercial washer was not overloaded and was using warm water. These pods are clearly a bad product that ruined my clothes at very worst time.

Purple stains!

I was so excited to try the pods. They are sure easy to use. No drips or spills,however I ruined several of my husband's white shirts. The pods left giant purple stains all over them. Nothing I have tried seems to get the purple out. Now I am afraid to use them again. What a waste! I hope you will make these with the same wonderful fragrance but no dye!
