Q: How can this 84 oz bottle do the same 59 loads as the last bottle I purchased that had 92 oz and stated it did 59 loads?

submitted by Angry Buyer - 9 months ago
  • A: As machines and consumer behavior change over time, we continually update products and packaging to deliver a best-in-class laundry experience. We do this by improving formula performance, updating dosing instructions and optimizing the packing. In this instance, Tide has been concentrated to reduce the usage of water and plastic in each bottle while still delivering the same number of loads prior to concentration.

    it just doesn’t work, & I’m just realizing it. All of my wardrobe is black. I tested a white pair of socks I wore inside around the house for 1 week. The outside of the sock still looked visibly dirty. I use 3 tablespoons of detergent, hot water in a front loader, 30% vinegar in the rinse cycle.

    We’re sorry you’re not happy with the clean you’ve received from your Tide Free & Gentle Hygienic Clean Liquid Laundry Detergent. Because all of our laundry detergents are designed to provide good overall cleaning, you should see clean. It may help to know that detergents help water to penetrate fabrics and then loosen dirt from them. They also suspend dirt in the water so it doesn't go back onto the fabric. It is possible the soil from the garments has redeposited on the fabric. Be sure you follow your laundry’s care instructions and use the hottest water safe for the fabric. Pretreat noticeable stains before washing, and don’t overload the washer. Take care to select the correct amount of water, and to always use the recommended amount of detergent for the amount of soil on clothes. Give us a call for more help with this. We’re here daily, from 9 AM to 6 PM, EST. On Saturdays and Sundays, we’re here from 5:30 PM, EST. Our number is 1 (800) 879-8433.

    I love this detergent! I use it along with vinegar for things like sheets and towels and my husband’s nasty clothes. I have sensitive skin and it does not make me itch. I also do not have a problem with excessive suds like another problem. I buy this liquid bc it is $7 cheaper than the pods and you get more loads! I don’t know why anyone would buy the pods.

    Do not buy. Horrible formula with additive to increase suds. Our front-loaded washer is filled with suds at the end of each wash cycle. When washing towels, the machine leaked all over because of the excessive suds. We will go back to Tide Free and plain old hot water.

    Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Our team performs extensive quality checks to provide you with the best laundry cleaning experience, and we apologize that has been not the case. This can sometimes be a result of using too much detergent or if you have a non HE washer. We recommend ensuring to follow the dosing instructions, and only to us HE detergent with an HE washer.

    Amazing. Usually I go for the natural brands, but after moving to an apartment building with a sub-par washing machine from what looks like the 80’s, I need a more powerful detergent. I literally almost cried when I saw how clean my white bedding and towels got. I’ll never buy another laundry soap again. Tide, I hope you make this forever!

    I don’t know WHAT is in this but I had the worst allergic reaction. I had to return it, get something else and rewash all my clothes, blankets and sheets. Now I have to try to figure out how to get my couch cleaned cause those clothes touched it and it’s still rubbing onto my skin. I don’t usually have reactions to laundry detergents and I switch it up pretty often. This has something crazy in it!

    Hygienic Clean better than Tide Professional

    Thumbs up graphic, would recommend
    June Cleaver - 1 year ago, Verified purchaser
    The Hygienic Clean Tide is much better at removing stains and odors than even when I compared it to Tide Professional liquid as used in hotels. I've found it to rinse incredibly easy and leaves no residue behind. I have both the Free version and the Regular Scent version and they both work the same with the exception that the Original Scent leaves a light, clean fragrance that has obviously been tweaked since Tide received complaints about it. I have soft water so paired with this Tide and I can get any stain out of anything and it doesn't take very much.

    Best Free and Clear Detergent So Far!

    Thumbs up graphic, would recommend
    SavvyStyleLady - 2 years ago, Verified purchaser
    For years I was forced to use All Free and Clear because it was the only detergent of its kind on the market. I was never satisfied with its clean and had to use additional products to try to get my clothes clean. Not so with Tide Free. We recently bought an “he” washer and I was pleased that Tide had already made the “he” adjustment. On very rare occasions I find that I need to re-wash a load but I was doing that with All on a regular basis which not only wasted vast quantities of water, detergent and money, soiled the environment and it also wasted a lot of time and energy. The hygienic version of Tide Free is my favorite one and I’m happy that there is finally a detergent on the market that really gets my clothes clean the first time!
