FAQ

Q: What is the difference between Tide PODS® and other types of laundry detergent?
A: Tide PODS® detergent pacs are a super concentrated liquid detergent that is specially designed in a small and compact unit dose form to give you a great clean. They are already pre-measured so no need to measure or pour, and the pac goes directly into the back of the drum of your washing machine before adding clothes, not in the dispenser.

Q: How do Tide PODS® work?
A: Tide PODS® clean, fight stains, and brighten all in one. The unique, multi-chamber design allows ingredients to remain separate, stable, and potent—mixing only when they hit the wash for outstanding cleaning and stain removal.

Q: How do I use Tide PODS®?
A: Place a pac in the washing machine drum before you add clothes (never add Tide PODS® to the dosing drawer). For especially dirty loads, you can add a second pac.

Q: Do Tide PODS® work in front- and top-loading machines?
A: Yes, Tide PODS® work well in standard and high efficiency machines. The formula is designed to prevent over-sudsing while also giving a great clean.

Q: Will Tide PODS® dissolve in cold water?
A: Yes, the film is designed to dissolve in all water temperatures, hot or cold.

Q: Do Tide PODS® work equally well on whites and colors?
A: Yes. Tide PODS® have been thoroughly tested on all sorts of laundry conditions, and are safe for both whites and colors.

Q: Should I worry about staining or residues?
A: No. Tide PODS® are designed to dissolve completely in all water temperatures, and will not stain your clothes when used as directed.

The "new" Original scent--too perfumy

Disappointed in the change and the lack of warning to the customer of a scent change. In the past, I have purchased the original scent Tide pods for a light, yet fresh, scent. Will no longer buy.

Inspired by what people told us in this research, societal trends and the science behind the sense of smell, we have enhanced Tide's scents which now also offer longer lasting freshness experience.

New Scent is Terrible

When did you change the scent? Please tell me you will be coming out with the Original old scent soon. Until then, you have lost a customer.

We did make an update to our Original scent in order to provide longer-lasting freshness to consumers, but we can understand your frustration, Porter! While we're letting our team know that you'd like to see the previous Original on the shelves, have you tried our Mountain Spring scent? It's very similar and we think you'd love it. We'd be happy to have you try some, just give us a call at (800) 879-8433.

New scent is horrible!

Bought what I thought was original scent and was hugely disappointed! No labeling indicating change and now stuck with entire container of pods I cannot use. Smells like cheap perfume!

Original Scent Change Challenges New Coke Debacle

What were you thinking. The stink coming for my clothes is offensive. The low scent original original is the reason I buy Tide brand. Maybe you could add Olestra to the formulation.

Change in scent

The original scent tide pods have changed! 4/9/2019 I bought a new bag and I hate the scent. Why did it change. Boo. Need to find a new detergent now. Hate the “too smelly” stuff.
