Tide Response From Tide 05/22/2017

Wee can understand your frustrations with the PODS™ not dissolving, and we’re happy to help. Our PODs™ are designed to dissolve completely in the wash, as long as they’re added to the drum before any laundry, and there’s enough space in the washer for them to move around freely. If there’s a lot of absorbent materials in the machine, they can soak up the excess water needed to dissolve the PODS™. To help remove this residue, we recommend soaking the garment in the hottest water safe for the fabric, the longer the better. Then, rewash the affected items again, this time with no detergent, at the highest temperature safe for the items. So that we can help you further, please give us a call at 800-879-8433.
