Great detergent

StarStarStarStarStar5/5

Really like this laundry detergent! It cleans really well and keeps my clothes smelling clean and fresh! I love how it has a touch of downy and also keeps my clothes feeling soft without leaving staining on my clothes!

A little goes a long way

StarStarStarStarStar4/5

This has been a good detergent for the time it survived in my home lol. It smells so good and it lasts longer than just the immediate wash. Clothes feel softer to touch and I’m just overall pleased with its effectiveness. It had a thicker consistency so less was needed. Unfortunately, I haven’t checked costs so I don’t know if I would “switch” to it being my primary detergent, but it has done well.

My scratch n sniff detergent!

StarStarStarStarStar5/5

Tide has always been my favorite detergent! Even if I venture off and try something new I always come back to this tried and true brand. With an extra boost of softness from Downy it’s a win win! Our laundry is always super soft with a lasting freshness! You honestly could scratch and sniff your clothes! That’s how good this stuff is!!!
