This detergent ruined my shirt

After the very first wash of my brand new lavender colored sweatshirt from Topman, my shirt is crossed with faded stripes over the hood and front. I regret falling for the "Free and Gentle" headline

I am so glad I found this product.

At last a product that doesn't leave my clothes with a fragrance, and that isn't going to make one of us break out in a rash. This product proves you don't need all the extras to make a fine product.

My Tide

I feel so lucky to have found this product. I've had sensitive skin my entire life and I found this to be the only detergent that does not irritate. It is an added bonus how well it cleans our clothes but I had no doubts with it being a Tide product, Thank you Tide for a wonderful product
