Q: is there softener in your pods

submitted by Carol - 10 months ago
  • A: Hi Carol. For most of our Tide PODS™ products there is no fabric softener included. However, our Tide PLUS Downy has a touch of Downy softness for your clothes. We offer it in a regular and an unscented version as well. If you have any other questions, give us a call at (800) 879-8433.

Q: is there formaldehyde in these pods?

submitted by Pat - 1 year ago
  • A: Thank you for your question, Pat. We don't add formaldehyde to any of our products. However, some products contain ingredients to help preserve the product and kill bacteria, and some of these ingredients may release a small amount of formaldehyde. The very low levels of formaldehyde released from these ingredients are safe. Give us a call at (800) 879-8433 if you have further questions. We're here to help.

Q: Is this equivalent to 42 “loads” of original Tide liquid detergent?

submitted by noober - 2 years ago
  • A: Great question! There are 35 PODS™ in this particular bag, so you can get up to 35 loads from this size. Give us a ring at: (800) 879-8433 if you have any other questions! - The Tide Team

Q: Is the plastic exterior of the pod biodegradable? Or will the plastic contaminate our water system?

submitted by Bevhillslosangeles - 2 years ago
  • A: We're glad you asked! The outer part of the PODS™ are fully dissolvable, and our team did tons of testing before releasing them to make sure they're septic and environmentally safe. We hope this helps, but if you have any other questions, feel free to give us a ring at: (800) 879-8433 anytime! - The Tide Team

Q: Are Tide pods 3 in 1 scent free? I prefer to avoid artificial scents in cleaning products. Thanks.

Q: Most pods recommend using 2 pods for large or heavily soiled clothes. Will one of these clean a large load? If I have to use 2 pods that doubles the already high cost for this brand

submitted by jswite - 3 years ago
  • A: Thanks for asking. We can assure you that our PODS™ are optimized to provide superior cleaning power. Here's the recommended dosage for our PODS™: 1 for small/medium loads, 2 for large loads, and 3 for extra-large loads. If you have any further questions for us, please give us a call at (800) 879-8433.

Tia - 14 days ago, Verified purchaser
If I can give this review 0 stars, I would. I opened my fresh pack of pods to do my laundry, didn’t think anything of them. As usual, i included my scent booster beads + Lysol sanitizer & FABRIC SOFTENER in my wash.. after the load was completed, I immediately smelt a funky, mildew scent that I didn’t know where it was coming from. I then learned that It was on my clothes!!! I couldn’t understand how powerful the pod scent was due to the other in wash scents I added. I’ve never smelt something so horrible. I use tide pods faithfully and never experienced this before! After smelling the tide pods container that it came in & running a pod with water, That same scent persisted! I returned these pods and purchased Gain instead. SMH

Tia, as someone who was an avid pod user, it pains us to hear about your experience. We're so sorry to hear about what's going on. As you can imagine, a mildew scent wasn't what were going for not what we expect. If you have not done so already, try cleaning your machine with a washing machine cleaner. This may help, but we'd like to hear from you about this. Please call us at (800) 879-8433.

Different fragrance than original tide

Would not recommend
OrhiansMom - 15 days ago, Verified purchaser
Gets our clothes very clean and is very fragrant. Not the same original tide smell from back in the day. Has a more floral strong/chemical fragrance to it. For this reason, I don't like it. Please bring back the orignial tide smell. Had such a fresh fragrance to it and this one is more sweet, in a bad way.

The Tide has turned - 1 month ago
As a loyal Tide user for decades and whose mom used it too, this is tough... but the scent on these pods is so terrible and overpowering now that there's no way I can use them again. Every time I open my closet, I'm reminded of the awful smell that I'll need to use another detergent to finally get rid of.

SCENT CHANGE

1 out of 5 stars
Would not recommend
emilyattarget - 2 months ago, Verified purchaser
Like another commenter noted, I have been using this detergent for years but the most recent container definitely had a scent change. I washed my load twice before I realized it was the detergent and then had to wash it a third time. Some of us are extremely sensitive to scents so it’s disappointing to see Tide change the scent and not indicate on the package. New scent is much stronger.
1 reply from Tide team - 2 months ago
As a loyal Tide fan, we're truly sorry to hear that your recent package of pods isn't quite what the same scent you have come to know, love, and trust over the years. We have not changed the scent recently, so we'd like to collect some information about your pods and help you further. Please call us at (800) 879-8433.

Sudden change in formula

Naylon - 3 months ago, Verified purchaser
Did the formula recently change? Used these for years and loved… noticed this last week I purchased more and the scent is wayyyy to strong after the wash, and my son broke out in a terrible rash (contact dermatitis) all over his body from it…. No longer will be using.
1 reply from Tide team - 3 months ago
Thank you for sharing your experience with us, and we certainly hope your son is feeling much better, Naylon. Our Tide PODS™ and ingredients are put through many safety tests to ensure they are safe for use. Please know in January 2022 there was a change to all our Tide PODS™, where we added 13% more stain-fighting enzymes but would not expect any changes in the scent or to cause any reaction. We'd like the opportunity to learn more about your experience, and would love to have you give us a call at (800) 879-8433, any time between 9:00 AM-6:00 PM EST.

I have used tide Original Pods for years and just recently the smell has changed. I’m not one to leave a review, but I can’t handle the smell now. I loved it and wish they would go back to the original smell. Am I the only one who noticed a change in smell?

Thank you for sharing with us. Our products go through many quality checks to give you the best laundry cleaning experience, and would not expect this.

But not anymore. I’ve been using the pods and it is definitely convenient however I’ve had nothing but trouble with them. The first order of them were stuck together, so I ordered more and they were fine for a short time and then all stuck together again. I tried once more and they too stuck together. Package says keep them away from moisture, easy to say but hard to do after all it’sa laundry room. I’m done. You pry them apart and they go off making a heck of a mess. To me they are a pain in the backside.
1 reply from Customer Care team - 3 months ago
We're sorry to hear about your disappointing experience. We put our products through many quality checks to ensure they arrive to you in the perfect condition. We don't recommend pulling the Tide PODS™ a part as it can cause them to burst. If the pods are stuck in twos or threes you can still use them. We know how frustrating this can be, and would like the opportunity to learn more. When you can please feel free to give us a call at (800) 879-8433 (9:00AM-6:00PM CST). -The Tide Team

Stains

1 out of 5 stars
Would not recommend
Kristin - 3 months ago
These work fine... Until they don't. Months into using them with no issues, I had gunky blue stains on several articles of clothing. After googling, it seems like a major design flaw Tide is aware of and does nothing to fix. Not worth it.
1 reply from Tide team - 3 months ago
Be assured that our Tide PODS™ undergo rigorous testing to get the design just right, Kristin. While we have seen this before, this is typically caused by things such as users overloading their washers, using too many absorbent items, or not putting the pod in first. If you put the pod in first and ensure the washer isn't loaded with absorbent items or overfilled, this should be prevented because water will be able to fully dissolve it. Of course, your pods may not be up to our quality standard, and since we want to hear from you about this and assist in stain removal, please call us at (800) 879-8433.

The last thing we'd expect when using our Tide PODS™ is for you not to be able to finish them due to how potent the scent is. We're sorry that you're not a fan, but trust us when we say your feedback is valued. You see, we do extensive testing to ensure the scent is just right for you our users, so we always appreciate feedback, and we'd also like to find a different scent we're sure you'll love.

These always smelled fresh and clean and now they do not. Laundry came out smelling like it hadn’t even been washed. Used them in both cold and warm water with the same result. They will not make your laundry smell good at all.
1 reply from Fabric team - 5 months ago
We’re sorry to hear this! It may help to know that laundry detergent cannot cause bad smells. If a fresh load of laundry comes out smelling badly it is usually coming from the washing machine and using Tide Washing Machine Cleaner to eliminate any smells or bacteria. Please call us at (800) 879-8433 to share more and additional tips that can further assist you!

My white T-shirts and bedsheets come out with blue stains.. This is the first time I try these pods and I’m honestly very disappointed as I now have to buy new sheets. The scent is quite strong but I didn’t hate it entirely. I am going try to wash them again just with water and see if it comes out.
