About This Brand

Tide is the leading brand in liquid laundry detergent with a 28 percent share. In 2007 Proctor & Gamble introduced a full replacement of its liquid laundry detergent lineup, which includes Tide and Gain. The new 2X concentrated formulation provides the same number of loads in a more compact bottle. Tide also makes a wide variety of different detergents for specific uses: HE, Coldwater, Totalcare, Tide With a Touch of Downy, and Tide Ultra with Dawn Stainscrubbers are just a few formulas.

Comment:
I have been using this product since it first came on the market. I have NEVER had a problem with them melting on clothes, or leaving stains. I have actually taken a pod, opened it into a bowl and used it to pre-treat my son's baseball uniform and school shirts. It is great at removing grass and ground in dirt from baseball pants. There is no more Ring around the collar on his school shirts either. I actually go to the laundermat to do my wash each week and those machines are not known for their cleaning ability, but with Tide Pods my whites come out white and my colors don't fade.

I have a front load HE machine. I usually toss one in, two if its a larger load of darks. I've never had a problem with them leaving stains. I've used them on a load of white towels, white bedding, white clothing, light clothing, jeans, and darks. I usually try to not load the machine more then 1/2 to 3/4 full. I've also started using the vivid white pods with my whites.

Comment:
What is disturbing is that I placed 4 new bath towels and some shirts in the wash and it left what appears to be bleach spotting even though they say it is not chlorine bleach and safe to use on colors.
