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: 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
    Brand expert
  • A: While the volume of the Tide Free and Clear HE detergent has been reduced from 92 fl. oz. to 84 fl. oz., the formula has been updated to maintain the same cleaning power per load. This means the detergent is more concentrated, so you’ll need less liquid per load to achieve the same level of cleaning as before. Essentially, the product is stronger and more efficient, allowing you to still get 64 loads from the smaller volume

    submitted byRobert - 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

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.

    submitted byTide - 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.

    submitted byNick - 6 years ago
  • A: I bought the 154 oz. It came with the HE logo on the bottle.

Q: Is this safe to use for pet items and pet beds, etc.?

submitted by Techonos67 - 5 months ago
  • A: Hi there! Great question. Our Tide Free & Gentle Liquid Laundry Detergent and any other Tide Detergent is supposed to be safe for washing pet items as long as used as directed. Our Tide Free & Gentle is even more fit to that as it is dye-free, perfume-free, and formulated for people with sensitive skin. However, if you want more accuracy on the safety of it, as pets' skin needs and sensitivity are different from ours, you can check for this detergent on the Smart Label website to check for the ingredients and consult with a veterinary. Please contact us at (800) 879-8433 for any further questions. Your satisfaction is highly important for us at Tide.

    Best detergeant

    Tide is by far the the best out there especially if you want unscented. I’m a Nanny and end up with stains on my clothes everywhere. Tide is the only thing that consistently gets those stains out!

    Sweaty clothes

    This is then only detergent I trust with my hot yoga clothes and towels. It has enzymes that break down sweat. Cheaper brands like All, Arm and Hammer, and any other fragrance free options don’t have the enzymes. I can’t do fragrance.

    great product and price

    I've been using Tide Free and Gentle for years. I started using it due to one of my kids having rough and bumpy skin and being told to just slather him in lotion multiple times a day. I switched from regular Tide to the free and gentle and his skin cleared right up and hasn't gone back to being rough and bumpy since (over 5 years later!). Also great product to use with my other child that has psoriasis and another skin drying issue that makes dyes and scents difficult to use.

    It's gentle alright!

    Our clothes (mine + my kids') look new & smell fresh without all the extra stuff in other detergents. I have semi-sensitive & one of my children has sensitive skin and this doesn't irritate either of us :) No noticeable scent, so depending on what you need/want, you can use a softener, rinse, scent beads, etc. to adjust that.
