How to Use Tide PODS®
Tide PODS® offer a 3-in-1 laundry solution to all your dirty problems. More than just a detergent, Tide PODS® also contain a stain remover and a brightener in one convenient pac. These detergent pacs are filled with a super-concentrated detergent, and their small, compact doses mean minimal hassle for you. Not to mention they're also HE compatible! Now, thanks to Tide POWER PODS®, Tide’s latest, greatest innovation, not even oversized laundry loads and set-in stains can stand in the way of giving your clothes a refreshing, brilliant Tide clean.
Step 1
Determine the size of your load to avoid overloading your washer.
Step 2
Take the laundry pac out of the box with dry hands. See more in the following section on how to dose correctly.
Step 3
Place the pac(s) at the back or bottom of the machine drum, not in the dispenser drawer. The number of pacs necessary depends on the load size. To guarantee superior performance, add two Tide PODS® pacs into the washing machine drum before you add clothes. Use one laundry pac for smaller loads or three for larger loads.
Step 4
Place clothes into the washer on top of the laundry pac.
Step 5
Select appropriate wash cycle based on the garments' fabric care label instructions and your machine’s instructions.
Step 6
Close box after use.
