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 - 3 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 - 3 years ago
  • A: I bought the 154 oz. It came with the HE logo on the bottle.

    submitted byKelen - 3 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.

Q: What is the difference between Free and Clear, Free and Gentle, and Free and Sensitive formulas? I need original cleaning power, but no dyes or perfumes.

submitted by peggy620 - 20 days ago
  • A: Thanks for asking, Peggy. Our current versions of Tide that are free of dyes and perfumes are our Tide Free & Gentle, and Tide Simply Free & Sensitive. For the same stain-fighting enzymes and cleaning power as the original Tide, we would recommend you try Tide Free & Gentle.

Q: Is this ok to use with silk?

submitted by sofia - 2 years ago
  • A: When it comes to washing silk, there are a few rules you’ll need to bear in mind to protect the garment you’re washing. Whether you need to wash by hand or in a machine, it’s important you keep the following in mind. Your fabric care label can tell you a lot about the garment. If the label says “Dry Clean,” this is usually just a recommendation to take the item to a dry cleaner, but it’s best to gently hand wash the garment if you chose to wash it at home. “Dry Clean Only” on the other hand means that the piece of clothing is very delicate, and it’s safer to take it to a professional. We'd recommend using a detergent specifically designed for delicates, such as Studio by Tide Delicates. If you have any questions, or if we can help you further, please give us a call at (800) 879-8433.

I've been using free and clear detergents for a long time. I just bought this and started having rashes, swelling and bumps. I didn't know what it was, but it just occured to me that I just bought this detergent. My skin is not that sensitive, so I don't know what is in this formaul. I was using tide pods before with no issues.

We're so very sorry to read you've been having this problem, as our Safety Team assures us that every bottle of Tide Free & Gentle is safe when used as directed. What you've described isn't what we expect, as we've not changed the formula of our Free & Gentle liquid since October 2022. At that time, the liquid was made clearer and lighter in color; there was no ingredient change, but a change in how we make the detergent was implemented. We hope you'll put your current bottle off to the side, where it'll be safe from being tossed out or used, and call us so we can help you feel better as soon as possible. Our number is 1 (800) 879-8433 and we're phone-side daily, starting at 9 AM and on the weekdays, until 6 PM, EST. On the weekends, we turn off the phones at 5:30 PM, EST.

Been using tide gentle for a few months now since I’ve developed really sensitive skin. The first bottles were fine but the last bottle I purchased had an awful smell to it and was yellow after a while in the laundry room. It was half full and didn’t have the smell when I first opened it but this time it hit my nose instantly when I opened the bottle. Doesn’t seem safe or clean for me and my family. Now on the search for a new gentle detergent.

Pungent smell and strange yellow color

I've been using this detergent for probably like a decade now and the last container I bought suddenly has a horrible pungent smell to it and changed to an odd yellow color. Not sure if this was reformulated, but it seems like many other customers have had the same issue!
1 reply from Customer Care team - 4 months ago
We removed some ingredients from the pod. The ingredient wasn't needed for performance, but because of this removal, it will be more yellow. Be assured that it will still have the same great performance on keeping your fabrics clean and will be just as gentle for the skin as before. It shouldn't impact its scent though, but if it's stored next to strongly scented products, the detergent can pick up the fragrance. We'd like to collect some information, so when you have a moment, please call us at (800) 879-8433.

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.
