Q: With regard to using 1 or 2 pods/load, please provide specific info on what constitutes a "large" load in terms of volume, weight, etc. Otherwise, it's both subjective and varies by washer capacities.

submitted by Phaux - 3 years ago
  • A: This is an excellent question. Washing machines have different capacities that may affect load sizes. We recommend you first check the manual for your machine. In the meantime, when a washing machine drum is around half full, you have a medium or regular wash load. For a large load, the machine will be about three quarters of the way full and for an extra large load, fill the drum. But, be careful not to overload your machine, since clothes need to be able to move freely. If you have other questions, or if we can help further, please give us a call at (800) 879-8433.

Q: Has Tide changed the formula for the free & gentle pods? They used to be a milky white color but now they are yellow. I'm afraid the new formula will cause me to break out.

submitted by Jamie - 3 years ago
  • A: Hi Jamie. This is a great question. There has been no change to the formula of Tide Free & Gentle PODS™. They may look different, but all of the ingredients and formulary is exactly as it once was. If you have any other questions or if we can help you further, please let us know by calling (800) 879-8433.

Q: Does this product contain 1,4 dioxane- a known carcinogen? Are there any other carcinogens in this product? Which ingredients may cause harm to humans, waterways, marine life?

submitted by Kalikara - 2 years ago
  • A: [10:09 AM] West, Matthew Carcinogen is not intentionally added ingredient in any of P&G’s products. Because arsenic is in the naturally occurring in the environment, arsenic is found in trace amounts widely across many products such as food and cleaning products. The results shared by CR are very low, safe levels, well below any established safety limits for a cleaning product.

These pods caused a severe allergic reaction in my 4 year old daughter from head to toe. Had to take prednisone and Benadryl for days following her sleeping on sheets washed with these “Free and Gentle” pods. Reading the reviews now, it is clear that we aren’t the only ones, so what does Tide plan to do about it?
1 reply from Customer Care team - 23 days ago
We're so sorry to hear your little girl went through that and hope she is feeling better now! Safety is our top priority, and all our products are thoroughly evaluated to be safe when used as directed. We recommend discontinuing use of the product, and we'd like to gather some more details to share this with our team. This certainly isn't the experience we want for your little girl, and we want to help further. When you can, please give us a call at 1-800-879-8433, M-F 9am-6pm EST.

Undissolved pods

Tired of this - 2 months ago, Verified purchaser
I used to love this product. Lately the pods are not dissolving and there is always at least one item of clothing with the undissolved goo stuck to it. End up wasting water and electricity on additional rinses. Very frustrating.
1 reply from Tide team - 2 months ago
We’re sorry to hear this has been your experience with our PODs™! Please know we thoroughly test our products to ensure, when used as directed, they work well in your laundry. This is certainly not a situation we’d expect. As you may know, our PODs™ should be put in the wash before any clothing. Also, we recommend making sure the wash is not too full so they have room to dissolve. We would like to gather further tips on removing any residue, as well as more information to see if we can help and provide details to our Quality Team. When you have a moment, Please give us a call at (800) 879-8433
