Overall Review
I would love to use pods, but they always leave a residue. I tried using regular tide pods and they would just never dissolve completely in warm water or even hot. Whether it was my old Maytag or new LG. So I decided to try the cold pods figuring these would dissolve since temperature is a likely factor in dissolution. They did work just fine on my white's with hot water and extra rinse. But alas, with regular clothes and extras rinse I just tried this week to see if these would work... same issue. Pod residue on the clothes even with the double rinse cycle. I don't know how these sell so well, what am I missing? Back to liquids...
I usually LOVE Tide but the last two times I have bought it, it smells fishy. I don't know if they changed their ingredients or what but I am not happy. I don't like any other detergents. I don't know what I am going to do. This really sucks, now I have to go through trial and error on other products until I find one I guess I am just ok with....sigh.....
I was really excited to use the tide pods. Pre measured and ease of use were my deciding factors. I followed the instructions since this is a new technology for me. Some loads were fine and others frankly were ruined, I have fairly new sheets and pillowcases that have large blue stains on them. No, the washer was not overfilled. I have used Tide for years and always been happy but this product needs to go back to the drawing board.
I LOVE the Coldwater 4 in 1 Clean Fresh Scent!! Some say the Fresh scent is overpowering, however, I believe it is perfect!! When I am out and about, I am frequently asked what perfume I am wearing!! The only thing I am wearing are the clothes that have been washed with this product. :) This product is difficult to find and I recently found out that is because Tide is discontinuing it. Tide company, please reconsider stocking this product. Thank you!!
I read the instructions and this website before I first used these, and something goes wrong every other time. It will either not dissolve and then stain, or it ends up in the rubber door seal, barely dissolved
Don't change anything! I swear by cold water Tide pods, fantastic product, I have zero complaints 👌 Thank you so much for a product that does what its supposed to do. I have been washing clothes for over 40 years, I'm impressed with cold waterTide pods, I won't use anything else on my clothes, ever. Thank you again 🙂
I love these pods, especially the scent. They are however VERY hard to find anywhere.
I'm literally only interested in the energy savings aspect of this product. It does a fine job getting my clothes clean, but the scent is just too strong. It's not unpleasant, it's just too much.
We tried the cold water pods for the environmental benefit. Overall we have been very happy with the product. It has kept our clothes clean and fresh, and we have been pleased with the performance. Would like to see improved packaging for refills...a package that is compostable, less plastic to match the environmental benefit story of the pods.
I like the idea of using cold water for laundry and our clothes were well cleaned; however the smell is overpowering. I did one load in our basement, and the smell permeated throughout the whole house for a day. I could still smell it a week later in our closet where clothes were hanging. Please make an unscented version. Thanks.
Love the clean I get with cold water, but no one in the household can tolerate the scent! Please bring back the unscented coldwater.
We use these for almost all of our clothes. They work great and everything comes out clean!
Did not clean husbands work clothes. Do not always dissolve. I found a goopy mess stuck to my clothes, ruining some that were dried when I found it. I think Tide missed the mark on this one.
My husband’s new Arc'teryx shirt got ruined after I wash it with these tide pods. I found dark stains when it’s dry! I followed every instruction written on the package.
I absolutely love the tide pods. They’re so convenient and easy to use. You just throw one pod in the washer and it’s good to go. It always leaves the laundry smelling so good and leaves them feeling so clean. It distributes just the right about of detergent per load
These pods are great. They allow the younger kids to get in chores and do laundry they are easy to take on vacation. We wash mainly in cold water so these are perfect work in any machine. Tide is for sure our go to detergent.
These smell great and left my clothes clean. I like using the pills, because I never end up with drips to clean up anywhere. I wash most of my loads with cold water, so this detergent does the heavy lifting for the household and has done well at cleaning food and dirt off clothes. It's what you would expect from Tide in a more convenient package.
I have used this several months now and it works great . The pods seem to dissolve very quickly with cold water which is good . I love the way it smells . The scent is long lasting and my clothes seems very clean .
Anytime I’m able to wash my laundry with cold water, I’ll jump at the chance to save money and energy. I love the fact that these Tide PODS are especially for cold water. They work so well, as Tide always does.
I am always a big fan of Tide. And these are great! I think the only thing is that I already have had great success with my regular Tide pods so I don't necessarily think I will want to keep the extra box of Coldwater pods around. Just for space reasons. But these worked great as well!
We wash most of our clothes in Coldwater and so we’re very interested in trying these cold water pods. They did a good job cleaning the clothes and are obviously easy to use because they are pre-measured in the pod. The smell is pretty strong though and honestly not my favorite but smells are subjective. The smell was just not the best as far as I’m concerned it didn’t smell as light and fresh but more perfume me. Also the bag it came in has one of these new childproof seals on it Which to be honest took me a few minutes to figure out and if it’s someone who may be is an older person who is having trouble with their hands or their grip they might have trouble opening this package. But still overall did a good job cleaning the clothes and I like being able to continue washing in cold water.
I always wash my clothes in cold water (trying to be more environmentally conscious these days) and, there are times when other products don't entirely dissolve. These are PERFECT for cold water wash and i LOVE the smell. Tide is always a winner.
These pods clean so well! I like to use cold water to wash so I don't have to separate colors, but the smell and clean aren't normally that great. These cold water pods work amazingly! They get rid of set in stains, have a long lasting fragrance, and allow me to still use cold water. Well worth the purchase!
I got these cold water tide pods as part of a survey and I am hooked. They are easy to use, and have a great fresh and clean smell. The majority of my laundry is cold water. Love that these are made specifically for that.
These are great! I love how easy and convenient these pods are. No messy drips all over the laundry room like my current detergent. They smell nice and clean my clothes well. I also like that the bag is childproof.
With young kids in the home, I love the child safely zipper on the bag of these pods. It actually takes some skill to pressure down to unlock the bag and if I don’t pay close attention, it doesn’t open so I feel safe with these pods around the house. My laundry comes out clean with a refreshing smell so definitely recommend.
I used these on what I would have usually done in hot water and I was so pleasantly surprised that it cleaned everything very thoroughly! It of course has the ease of use being a pod and has the nice security bag to keep little ones out. I also enjoyed the fresh clean scent.
I am so please with these tidePods. They make my towels smell incredible and just feel cleaner. I pop in just one for my load of 5-10 towels and it's plenty! They come out clean and fresh. Highly recommend - enjoy!
I usually wash my clothes in warm water. With Tide Pods Coldwater, I used 2 pods for a large load and washed in cold water (of course). The clothes came out soft, clean, and smelled very good. The only problem was I was not used to scented laundry detergent, so I kept sneezing (about 10 times) when I first put on my shirt but was okay after that.
I love how Tide PODS Coldwater Clean is environmentally friendly so i can use cold water for all my loads of wash. I feel good about not using the energy to heat the water and can get my clothes clean and smelling as fresh as using hot water.
I just received my Tide 4 in 1 coldwater clean pods. I've done a few loads of laundry, and my clothes smell fantastic! The pods worked great at cleaning our laundry. We used one for regular sized loads, and two pods for bigger loads.
As someone who uses coldwater in most of my washes, I was very happy to see an option just for coldwater. The PODS I have used in the past with coldwater never seemed to dissolve properly and would end up stuck to my clothes. These PODS dissolved easily and did a great job cleanng my clothes. The fragrance is clean and fresh, not overbearing. These PODS know how to get the jb done!
I loved using this laundry detergent! The pods were so convenient, no measuring detergent or using too much or too little product. My husband even noticed the scent, and he said it smelled really good! But the best thing about this product is that it is meant for cold water! And I’m all about saving hot water and energy! I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review and unbiased opinion.
These are a fantastic find! I was a little skeptical about their only cold water use, but they’ve been great! I have a good amount of clothes that can only be washed in cold water and these are perfect.
Being a mother of 4 active adventerous boys can be messy and I almost always wash clothes in cold because of the fear of fading if I use warm/hot these pods do the trick it gets anything from grass stains dirt mud juices and food out I usually use about 2 pods for an extra large cycle washing anywhere between 25 - 40 articles of clothing has a clean fresh scent that last for days
The Tide PODS Coldwater clean work great! The packaging tells you how many pods to use based on the size of your laundry load, I typically use two. These leave my clothes looking and smelling incredibly clean and fresh. I LOVE that these can effectively clean clothes even with cold water! The packaging was a little tricky at first, but once I looked closer and realized you push downward on the zipper/seal and then pull; it's very easy to use. I can appreciate the "tricky zipper" as this does keep my little ones out of the packaging when trying to help! I do love that it seals and you don't have to worry about the product being damaged as well. We love Tide products and trust them fully, this product didn't disappoint! Highly recommend
I have been pleasantly surprised by the job these Tide PODS do on getting my clothes clean. I participated in a Terrain Race, and I came home with muddy clothes that I assumed I would have to throw away. After washing these clothes with the PODS, my clothes came out looking like they did before. No stains to be found. I do think the scent is too strong (could be I'm just sensitive to the smell). And my one other complaint is the packaging. The ones I have are packaged in a resealable bag. It is designed to be small-child proof to prevent accidental ingestions. Great! But I don't have small children, and the bag is a pain to open and close. Might need to go back to the drawing board on that one.
I tried these for the first time and like how its always the same exact amount....no over filling. I dont care that they are pretty colored to attract children though. The value was comparable to other products in the same line.
I love the tide pods because they're so easy and clean. Usually with the liquid I spill it and it gets all over the bottle but these are super clean and easy--just throw one in and you're good to go!!
I mostly wash my laundry in warm water temperature but was intrigued by these cold water pods. I think that saving money on energy is a huge plus of these but they had to deliver clean laundry. And they did! I used them on a load that I normally wash warm and a delicate load that I normally was cold and enjoyed both results. The normally warm load had some sweaty gym clothes and the pods not only cleaned them but left them smelling so fresh. The pods for my delicate load were not harsh on my fabrics but was able to penetrate and clean. I do have HE washer and dryer and the pods were able to be used in them. I also loved the convenience of the pods already being measured out and super easy to just throw in the washer drum.Overall I would purchase these again!
Really like these pods. They work well for my family with two small kids. They are outside playing all day so the clothes are dirty. These do a great job at getting out the dirt. I would recommend these for normal use.
It really works with cold water. I’ve use other brands of detergent in pods and one thing I always needed to do was to make sure I use hot water first to dissolve them, this is not the issue here. Removes even tough stains leaving clothes smelling fresh and soft.
I love the fact that Tide has come out with the cold water pods. I have had issues with other laundry pods in my HE washer not dissolving as they should. Not with these...always completely dissolved and my clothes come out clean and fresh, just as I would expect with Tide.
I recieved these Tide Coldwater Clean Pods and freshness is all I can smell. I also smell more money in my pockets! By this Im meaning I do not need to wash with warm water these pods really do work amazingly well in cold water. The extra stain removal in these are awesome I usually have to buy all kinds of stain removers and this gives me that stain removal in one. I love the fact that I can even use one Pod and it washes my large loads well and they come out so fresh and clean. The smell of these pods are so potent I do not need to add any extra softners or smell boosters! These pods are amazing!
Tide Coldwater rocks! I have tried a few other detergents and none have cleaned my son's uniforms as completely as Tide Coldwater. The dirt and grass stains were completely removed and the clothes smelled so fresh when removed from the washer. I was happy to discover this formula as an energy conscious consumer because it helps to save energy, while getting your clothes super clean. The pods are easy and convenient to use as well. Another quality product from a well known brand. Highly recommend!
I’ve always been a fan of Tide products. I’ve often bought a less expensive brand and I haven’t been as happy with the results after washing. First off- in true Tide fashion- these pods smell wonderful. The smell lasts quite a while after wearing the clothes. The pods dissolve nicely in the wash and of course they are as easy to use as dropping them in!
I was quite impressed for the quality of cleaning from an easy to use pod. My clothes smell great, stain-free, and colors are looking great! I typically do not wash in cold water until using these pods. I have noticed a significant difference in my clothes. Highly recommended.
I love using tide pods. having 4 kids, I do laundry every day, and I like how easy it is to just drop a pod or 2 in. I don't have to worry about measuring, or liguid detergent dripping everywhere after I've poured it. My clothes come out clean, and stains seem to vanish. Also the child proof packaging gives you a peace of mind too.
I am really happy with the Tide pods. I used them to clean my husband gym clothes and our usually laundry and it removed stains and cleaned the clothes great. I love that you save using cold water. They smell really good it is not overwhelming and a really nice scent.
These pods are super easy to toss in and get a load clean. No measuring, no mess, so easy the kids can help with it. I wish the bag zipped easier but its still convenient. 90% of the time I wash in cold water so the fact that theses are made for that is great.
I love this product! Very easy to put a pod in the washer versus pouring detergent into a cup. They make your clothes smell veryfresh and really clean. I highly recommend this product to everyone. Great quality product!
I have been using this for a while. I wanted to try to wash all my clothing in cold water even the whites. So far, they have been looking and feeling just as clean as they would have with warm water. This will help keep my clothes from fading and the colors getting muddied up. The pods are convenient to use. It also has a very clean smell.
These laundry detergent pods are so great! They are extremely easy and convenient to use because they don’t require measuring liquid into a cup, so it makes doing laundry less messy. They work well and get my large loads clean.
The coldwater clean has a fresh and pleasant scent. They cleaned my husband's work clothes and my toddlers play clothes very well. I was quite impressed for the quality of cleaning from an easy to use pod.
I’m a Tide fan and was thrilled to see their new offering Cold water tide. I used 2 pods for a medium-largish load. Regular kid clothes (read soiled and muddy). Tide did the job. Clothes were spotless and smelled clean.
I absolutely love Tide Pods!! I will be honest and say that it really did take me a while to get on board with laundry pods...however, I am glad that I finally tried them!! And now my only regret is that I didn't try them earlier!!! It is so much easier to throw 1-2 in the washer, add the clothes and turn them on!! I like Tide the best so far, as it has not let me down; even with soiled tire mechanic work clothes!!!
I love Tide and have been an avid Tide user for years but always with the liquid form. These Pods are great and I’m now a liquid to Pod convert! I love how it keeps me from over pouring and I know easily how many loads I have left. They work just as well as the liquid and are great at getting out stains and have a great scent. Will continue to purchase these for sure!
Growing up, we were brand loyal to Tide but as an adult I’ve just resorted to buying whatever detergent is convenient and on sale. However, I have to admit that nothing compares to Tide pods. It’s already obvious that pods are convenient. Recently, Tide Pods packaging has switched to a childproof bag which makes me feel confident with a toddler at home. More importantly, they are unbeatable in fragrance and cleaning power! I wondered to myself whether I was overreacting when my husband brought up how much he liked our new detergent! He works in construction, and he was surprised and impressed that his work clothes smelled great all day. That endorsement alone is enough for us to continue to use Tide Pods!
I always, always use cold water to wash colored clothes. I am so happy that tide made those pods to dissolve in cold water. I was a little worried that I would have to use hot water to dissolve these pods, but the work perfectly fine with cold water. So far so good, no complain. No stains, great smell. Thumbs up!
I recently tried Tide Pods Cold Water. I have to admit I haven’t bought Tide Pods before, but I’m teaching my 10 year old son to do his own laundry so I felt this would be easiest. Tide Pods are amazing! Why didn’t I try them before now?! My clothes smell great, stain-free, and colors are looking great! Very pleased and pleasantly surprised!!
these pods work so much better than th4 liquid! not because the liquid isnt good, its just the pods are much more long lasting when it comes to scent. i highly recommend for gym clothes or childrens sports clothing
I absolutely love this product. I have to admit i was a little iffy on getting this product because i thought that you needed warm or hot water to melt these pods. But this definitely proved me wrong. This product washed my clothes in cold water awesomely. It left my clothes smelling and feeling so fresh. I recommend this product to everyone.
Ok, off the bat, would like to say that I am a Tide faithful. We sometimes venture to other brands, but our family has pretty much been loyal Tide consumers. I am so happy that there is a new product now that works in cold water and performs as wonderfully as all the other Tide products!
I love to wash clothes with cold water. I believe it keeps them from stretching, fading, and sharing color with other clothes. I have always used Tide, and refuse to trust my clothes with any other detergent. So, of course, I was thrilled to see that Tide designed a product that is perfect for how I like to wash. The fresh scent smells a lot like the regular scent that everyone knows and loves, and having my favorite detergent in pod form is just awesome. I am comfortable now to let my child help with laundry (since I know I won't be cleaning up have a bottle of detergent from a spill). Plus, he thinks it's a blast to throw a pod or two in the wash like he's scoring a three pointer in basketball. There is nothing negative to say here! Tide is always a winner, but they're especially winning with this product!
With 2 boys and a diesel mechanic husband - I do a lot of laundry...dirty dirty laundry. I have used a lot of different brands claiming to work best but nothing has worked as amazing as TIDE and the PODS are so simple to use and more than convenient! I really love that Tide formulated a detergent for cold-water use to work as well in cold as I 90% of the time use only cold water! I highly recommend this detergent!
Tide has always been my go to. It has been unwavering quality and is backed up by results. This product is what I have come to expect from Tide. I have tried other detergents, but always come back. I love the Coldwater clean scent. It is refreshing and inviting
Well, Tide did it again! Another great product that combines Tide's originally great cleaning with a lot of other cleaning powers. Definitely worth the cost and a great product to use for your entire family!
I’ve loved the scent of Tide ever since I was a little girl. And my love for the fresh scent hasn’t changed. I like the fact that the pods the perfect amount of detergent is in each pod. And for articles of clothing with tougher stains, I use an extra pod. It completely takes away all of the guess work. I highly recommend!
I’ve always been a huge fan of Tide, but turning them into pods was an added bonus. There’s no more guessing whether or not I’m using the right amount of detergent, because it’s already pre-measured for you. The pods are so convenient and takes up very little space.
I was skeptical when I got these tide coldwater clean pods. I mean we are brought up to know that hot water kills germs and cleans better, right? But with so many delicate items that hot water will damage and especially in area where water is short and precious, washing in cold water saves water.... So I washed two test loads. The first was a load of white cold water delicates. I set the washer to delicate with no afterwash rinse because I wasn't sure what temp the rinse was. There were still a tiny remnant of the pods envelope on the wall of the washer when I removed the clothes but none of the soap. I have to say I was impressed... the clothes smelled great, they were clean, and when I dried them I enjoyed the lingering smell of the tide. It's slightly different than the smell of normal tide. Second load I looked up my washer to make sure the rinse is cold and it was. So I put in my huge King Size RL comforter. Its gorgeous and is supposed to be washed cold. Once it got done, with the extra rinse there was no soap or envelope left and the whole comforter was like brand new. I swear both washes gave new life to our clothes. THe only one star that is lost was because without the extra rinse (which kind of kills the water saving claim) there was undissolved packaging. Someone with a HE washer might have a different experience.
These tide pods cold water clean are the best I've always wondered if my colored clothing was getting clean with just cold water and now I never have to worry about that because with Tide Cold Water Clean the pods resolve and clean my clothes perfectly leaving a nice clean smell not too overwhelming but just right..And now I have the confidence that every garment is at it's best and not faded..with these cool cold water Tide Pods..
love this detergent. i have been a loyal tide fan for many year. up until recently i have always used liquid detergent. i used the pods for the first time and they are amazing. no measuring or dripping of a cup. the exact amount you need. just throw in the drum . i recommend following directions of doing that first and then adding clothes - i once had forgotten and threw it on top and it was a load that did not wash as evenly and the pod did not completed dissolve - i assume this was a result of not putting it in first. doing this first i have never seen this occur. my clothes come out smelling clean and fresh. i use this with a front loader HE machine.
I have a washer that I connect to my kitchen sink when I need it. It specifically says not to use hot water. I wasn't sure how well my clothes would be cleaned only using cold water. In stepped cold water Tide pods. These little babies and the washer tag teamed the dirt. They did an amazing job. I am very impressed with these pods. My clothes look and feel like they do normally when washed in a regular washer with hot water. I don't even need to add fabric softner! Way to go with this one, Tide!
I just used the tabs when washing a recent load of laundry.The smell is good and the pods did not leave residue on the clothes. I always wash in cold water so the pods worked great with that type of water .
I normally don't use tide pods but I like these! I like that I don't have to use all the hot water washing laundry! I used these on my husband's work clothes and it removed dirt and grime from concrete work!
