Been using Tide Free and Gentle for years. The last bottle purchased had an odd, unpleasant smell and a yellowish tinge to it. I quit using it. Disappointed in the quality and concerned about the cause as it looks like I am not the only one to have this happen!

I’ve been using free and gentle for a while but the latest container purchased definitely has a scent and my clean clothes are giving me headaches. Has the formula changed?
1 reply from Customer Care team - 29 days ago
Thank you for sharing your experience, and asking about the formula and scent you've noticed with your Tide Free & Gentle Laundry Detergent. Speaking of your comfort and health, your safety is our top priority, and all our products are thoroughly evaluated to be safe when used as directed. Based on what you've shared, we do recommend discontinuing use of the product, and putting it off to the side, as we may like to retrieve it from you.

I wanted to share my experience with everyone about Tide Free and Clear. I have used this for a long time and it worked. All of a sudden, I cannot use it. It is like something changed with the ingredients/formula. I have been trying different detergents lately and I cannot find one that suits me. Something has changed or the ones that I purchased were mixed or something. For sure, the IPODs were enhanced and I cannot use those anymore. Watch out for the name cold water on the IPODs. The formula is stronger.

I am always excited when I can find detergent and other cleaning products that don’t come in a plastic container. I purchased the box and was disappointed to find a plastic cup inside. Isn’t there a better alternative? It’s time companies like Tide did their part in reducing single use plastic. Sell it with no cup at all, if you can’t find a suitable replacement.

We switched to Free and Gentle once someone in our family developed a sensitivity to fragrance on their skin, and it has been a game changer. No more skin irritation, and our clothes still come out clean and fresh! It helps fight stains and odors just as well as our old detergent, and doesn't leave any weird residue on clothes either. We have been really happy with the change and that we can get the same quality wash without the added scent!

I bought a new bottle of Tide Free and Clear last week. When I opened the bottle and poured it into the measuring cap it had a yellowish color to it. Have you recently changed the formula? It is still odorless but the yellow color makes me think the product isn't safe to use.

We’ve been using Tide Free and Clear for years. Free and Gentle has a smell and also made my husband break out. He’s been seeing drs for months trying to figure out the cause. So frustrating that it’s a detergent we’ve trusted for years. We believe there must have been an ingredient change that wasn’t revealed.
1 reply from Tide team - 4 months ago
Thanks for your review on Tide Free & Gentle, JoanT. Your years of loyalty to our product is truly appreciated! We're very sorry to learn about your husband rash and hope he finds relief soon. Please know that consumer safety is our top priority. All our detergents are thoroughly evaluated to ensure their safety when used as directed, and what you've described isn't something we'd expect. So that our Product Health & Safety Team can get a full report, would you mind calling us at (800) 879-8433? We'll also gladly help you with compensation for this bottle, plus recommend a different Tide detergent we think you'll love.
Disappointed that a “safe option” isn’t safe

I have serious skin sensitivity with laundry detergent. I thought buying tide free and gentle meant that I was buying laundry detergent safe for my skin but I had to wash a pair of leggings by hand in the skin and all I had for detergent were free and gentle pods. As soon as the pod was soaked in water in the sink it turned blue just like the regular detergent. I also thought that my skin sensitivity flaring up bad again was cause by the dorm environment and communal laundry rooms but all along it had been the detergent I was using.
1 reply from The Tide Team team - 4 months ago
We're very sorry you've been experiencing skin sensitivity flare-ups. Tide PODS™ are very safe when used as directed, and the Free & Gentle are hypoallergenic and dermatologist recommended for sensitive skin. It's important to know that PODS™ should not be used to pretreat or hand wash garments. We take your report very seriously, and would like to learn more about your experience using our product to see how we can further help. Please give our Tide Team a call at 1-800-879-8433.
