Q: With regard to using 1 or 2 pods/load, please provide specific info on what constitutes a "large" load in terms of volume, weight, etc. Otherwise, it's both subjective and varies by washer capacities.

submitted by Phaux - 4 years ago

  • A: Actually check with the BEST Local Appliance repair plce with High Ratings for Their own Actual Repairman's Recommendation as to what they might Best know for whatever Make/ Model Of Washer You have .

    submitted byNB1961 - 3 years ago

  • A: This is an excellent question. Washing machines have different capacities that may affect load sizes. We recommend you first check the manual for your machine. In the meantime, when a washing machine drum is around half full, you have a medium or regular wash load. For a large load, the machine will be about three quarters of the way full and for an extra large load, fill the drum. But, be careful not to overload your machine, since clothes need to be able to move freely. If you have other questions, or if we can help further, please give us a call at (800) 879-8433.

Q: What's the difference, beside price, between the Free and Clear Pod and the Oxy Pod detergents.

submitted by Grandma - 2 months ago

  • A: Thank you for your inquiry regarding the differences between Tide PODS Free & Gentle and Tide Plus Oxi PODS detergents. I’m happy to provide you with detailed information to help you choose the best option for your needs. Here are the key differences between the two products: - Tide PODS Free & Gentle - Unscented and free of dyes and perfumes, making it an excellent choice for individuals with sensitive skin. - Designed to be hypoallergenic and gentle, recommended by the National Eczema Association and National Psoriasis Foundation. - Provides superior stain-fighting power while being gentle on sensitive skin. - Color safe and formulated to remove up to 99% of everyday stains. - Tide Plus Oxi PODS: - Contains a scent and is not free of dyes and perfumes. - Designed to deliver powerful stain removal with specially formulated ingredients. - Also color safe and effective against tough, greasy food-related stains. - May not be specifically formulated for sensitive skin like the Free & Gentle variety. In summary, the main distinction is that Tide PODS Free & Gentle are unscented and free of dyes and perfumes, making them ideal for sensitive skin, while Tide Plus Oxi PODS contain fragrance and dyes but still provide a strong cleaning performance. Both offer excellent cleaning power, but Free & Gentle is specifically tailored for those who require a hypoallergenic option.

    Buy !

    A MUST in my household . With sensitive skin this is always used in my house. Most detergents have alot of stuff in it as well as fragrance which one isn’t good for the skin nor does it work well for us. The value of this brand is amazing. Depends where you get it but there can be coupons also. Removes stains well and the packaging is easy pour. I usually get the biggest one to get the best value

    Great for newborns skin

    I used this mostly for my infants bedding and clothes. He has never had a rash from it and it helps get stains out of his clothes. It is unscented which was best for my son's new skin. I will definitely continue to use this.

    Free of irritants

    Tide free and gentle laundry detergent is free of any dyes, any perfumes, or scents. This clear liquid detergent is very gentle and leaves our clothes feeling clean. Occasionally, I'll add a scent booster when using this detergent to give clothes a subtle, fresh linen scent.

    Clean

    One of the best laundry soaps my family uses with a few of my kids skin allergies. There’s no added ingredients that might break any of my kids out and is gentle to use in the washer.

    My #1 Laundry Detergent

    Tide is my go-to laundry detergent brand because I know it cleans very well. This free and gentle version is no exception. No matter what wash cycle or water temperature you use, your clothes will be super clean. Over time there is no build up of any residues, which is one less thing for me to worry about. I have very sensitive skin and some laundry detergent fragrances really irritate my skin so I always know free & gentle without a scent will be a safe option for me.

    BEst Value for Best Laundry Pods

    Large tub but makes 28 more pods cost $1.50 when you compare the cost of two 42 pod containers to this one. We don't like scents in our detergent but this would apply to other Tide pods, as well.

    Great detergent

    We like this detergent. My youngest daughter and my husband has sensitive skin. This is the only detergent that doesn't make them itchy and break out. We will continue to only use this detergent. We recommend it.

    Tide: A must buy detergent

    I was looking for a detergent that would be able to gently clean my clothes. It really cleaned the dirt and Reminence off. It mixed with the water well in the washing machine I followed all the instructions and my clothes came out, smelling and looking fresh.

    Great for sensitive skin and doesn’t leave random

    I switched to Tide free and gentle a year ago. I used to get random stains on my clothes when doing laundry, and since I switched over to this brand, my clothes are nice and clean, no more random stains on clothes, and the smell is gentle, great for sensitive skin!

    Been using for years!

    Has been my go to for a few years now - clothes always seem clean, even my husband’s very smelly work clothes. If I want a good smell or a bad stain removed, I will add something else to the load to do that, but often just one of these pods is all I’ll use for everyday laundry including sweaty or smelly clothes.
