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: 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 - 6 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.

    Not as many pods as advertised.

    I love Tide free and gentle but I am going to switch to All. The last three times I have bought this product, I have had two less pods inside than the package says. (Always 40 instead of 42. And I’m tired of the false advertising.
