Q: Your Tide Free and Clear HE says it is now 84 fl. oz. and it does 64 loads. I used to purchase 92 fl. oz. and it also said 64 poads. Is the product now somehow stronger?

submitted by SJ - 2 years ago
  • A: Tide's answer about the number of loads for the 84 oz. container is completely misleading. See details. Line 5 of measuring cup for full load = 4 oz. That's 21 loads/ 84 oz. container.

    submitted bysam34 - 2 years ago
  • A: With all of our liquid detergents, there was a change to the formula to make it more concentrated. This means that while there are fewer liquid oz in the package, you will still get the same number of cleaning loads.

    submitted byTide - 2 years ago

Q: Is the 156 fluid ounces HE also? it is not on the top of the container did they just forget to put it there. I would like to know if it is also High Efficiency the 156 fluid ounce?

submitted by RiRi001 - 6 years ago
  • A: The Tide Free and Gentle HE will have an HE logo or symbol on the front of the package. This particular listing is for the HE Free and Gentle. If you have any questions please call us at (800) 879-8433.

  • A: I bought the 154 oz. It came with the HE logo on the bottle.

    submitted byKelen - 6 years ago
  • A: I called my local store and asked them to verify whether the 154 oz version (DPCI: 003-08-0159) is in fact High Efficiency (HE). They verified that it is HE. The person I spoke with said the HE logo is on the bottle — admittedly, I haven't yet purchased so I'm verifying this second hand.

Q: I have a traditional (non-HE) machine. I know I'll need to use a bit more since trad uses more water than HE. How much detergent do I need to use for S, M, L and XL loads?

submitted by Old School - 29 days ago
  • A: For your traditional (non-HE) machine, you’ll generally use a bit more detergent since these machines use more water. Here’s a quick guide for Tide detergents: - Small/Medium loads: Fill the measuring cap to the fill line (usually bar 1 or line 1). - Large loads: Fill the cap to about bar 3 or line 2. - Extra Large (XL) loads or heavily soiled: Use two capfuls or fill to bar 5. Make sure to add the detergent after your machine fills with water and before adding clothes. Also, always check the specific product label for exact dosing. Hope this helps your laundry come out great!

Q: The bottle I received today does not have HE on the bottle anywhere (as pictured in the app on the front of the bottle). Is this still formulated for HE machines?

submitted by Jenna W - 1 month ago
  • A: Hello! Tide Free & Gentle is available in both HE (High Efficiency) and Non-HE versions. Even if your bottle doesn't have the HE label on the front, it may still be formulated for HE machines. The Free & Gentle line is designed for sensitive skin, safe on colors, and works well in HE washers. If you want to be sure, check the back label for any HE indications or usage instructions. Thanks for choosing Tide!

    New and NOT Improved

    Tide has decided to "improve" upon their Free and Gentle laundry detergent, and by "improve" they mean add more chemicals. For people with sensitive skin (like me) these added chemicals are causing reactions. I wore a t-shirt I had washed with this "new and improved" formula and itched/burned for a solid half hour before taking it off. I've come across other reviews of people breaking out in rashes and hives. Why Tide felt the need to change a product for sensitive people is beyond me. I certainly won't be using this anymore.

    Cleans clothes well, no residue or fragrance

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Simple and easy to read packaging. Free of irritating residue, no added dyes, or perfume. It says unscented, but I smell something that reminds me of cleaning chemicals. There’s no sand after they’ve been washed, rinsed, and dry. We had no skin irritation and it cleaned our clothes very well. I prefer more natural cleaners, but this detergent did clean my toddlers clothes well.

    Amazing with stains works like a magic

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Tide Free and Gentle is honestly one of the best choices if you want a powerful clean without harsh chemicals. It’s specially made for sensitive skin, so it’s completely free of dyes and perfumes, yet it still removes dirt and odors really effectively. Clothes come out feeling soft, fresh, and truly clean without any irritation. I also love how gentle it is on fabrics it keeps clothes looking newer for longer. Whether you’re washing everyday outfits or baby clothes, it gives you peace of mind with every load. A perfect balance of strength and care!

    New Formula New Skin Reactions

    Really want to know who at Tide thought it would be a good idea to add more chemicals to a laundry detergent that's supposed to be for sensitive skin. This "new and improved" formula is making my skin itch and feels like it's burning. I've been using Tide Free and Gentle for years and NEVER had any issues. Why improve something that didn't need to be improved? Now I'm going to have to find a new laundry detergent and hope I don't break out in a rash or hives. Thanks, Tide.
    1 reply from Customer Care team - 14 days ago
    We are sorry to hear about your experience with the new Tide Free and Gentle formula. The product was upgraded in April 2025 to rebalance ingredients for better stain removal while still being gentle on sensitive skin. It remains hypoallergenic, free of dyes and perfumes, and dermatologist tested to be safe for sensitive skin. Sometimes, changes in formula can affect individuals differently. If you would like, we suggest trying Tide Free and Gentle Liquid, which is also designed for sensitive skin. We would love to hear more about your experience and assist you further, so please call us at (800) 879-8433.
