The Most Important Ingredient in Tide® is Safety

After each use, completely close the container, and immediately store the container out of reach of children in an appropriate location.

Keep laundry pacs out of reach of children.

The Best One!

I was looking for a new detergent for my clothes, and this has easily taken the spot. I recommend trying your tide pod with bleach, it helps it go to work faster

impossible to open

These pods work just fine, but the container is impossible to open unless one is a gorilla. I am not a weak person but I have to get my husband to open the container. I will be buying another brand.
