Q: Why is HE on the front top of the bottle but is not high efficiency? This is misleading and led me to believe the product I was purchasing is HE. I think it's a marketing scam that needs attention.

submitted by Kathy - 1 year ago

    submitted byTide - 1 year ago
    Brand expert
  • A: This! Target, fix this listing! The main photo shows HE and most of the review photos show HE bottles. This is seriously misleading. Some identifier in your database must not be unique.

    Formula change

    1 out of 5 stars
    Haley20 - 1 month ago
    originally posted on tide.com
    I have used Tide free and gentle for decades - then 2 months ago I started getting hives, red blisters, major itches and red patches all over my feet and legs. I eliminated everything and discovered it was the detergent. I started searching the internet and found so many chat groups of people having the same issue with this detergent and discovered the formula change. The stress and sleepless nights this has caused me makes me furious that this was done to customers. I can’t even cover myself with a bed sheet without immediate reaction. Out of desperation I tried tide simply and this caused a severe migraine and nausea. Im so very upset and disappointed, I wish I knew lot numbers to buy bottle before formula change. Now anytime I see the word Tide I think allergy. I’m in the process of rinsing bedding and clothes x 3 - just to get the detergent completely out but I’m not there yet hoping I can finally lay in the bed or wear my clothes without immediate hives. This was my go to formula for years. I can’t express how this has upset my existence having to deal with contact dermatitis and hives.

    We've been experiencing all kinds of skin issues; itching, burning, rashes, hives. Finally our son discovered you changed your formula and added an ingredient (BIT) which is a known skin irritant and banned in Europe. Currently in the process of rewashing all we own using our new non-toxic detergent. Since removing your chemical-laden product from our lives, we are healing, detoxing and improving. I've used your product for decades but no more. Bad move on your part.

    Tide is fine, scissors or knife needed to open plastic bag

    BestHomes - 1 month ago, Verified purchaser
    1. Tide jug comes in a plastic bag that is closed with a zip tie which needs to be cut. There are zip ties available TODAY that release by pressing a tab, making a knife or scissors unnecessary. 2. Instruct delivery people not to block the door with the box. A better way is to stand the box on its long end on a step and against the wall if it's raining.

    I just finished the bottle What I bought at the very beginning of October and I am really disappointed and annoyed. The formula was changed sometime recently and it's not the same. My clothes are not looking or smelling as clean anymore, which is especially unacceptable since I rely on this expensive laundry detergent to get my kids' clothes CLEAN.

    New formula bad for eczema

    1 out of 5 stars
    Thumbs down graphic, would not recommend
    Anonymous - 2 months ago, Verified purchaser
    Tide free and gentle currently has an EWG rating of F. The formula has changed and is now cloudy and smells. The added ingredient of benzisothiazolinone caused my skin to break out in the worst case of eczema I have had. An oozy, itchy, red rash up both my arms. It also left bleach like stains on one of my loads of laundry. Definitely not the formula I used to love.
