Q: How much Tide detergent should I use per load of laundry?
A: With Tide Plus Febreze Sport Odor Defense™ Liquid Laundry Detergent, measure the liquid detergent with the cap from the bottle of detergent. If you're using the regular detergent formula, then for medium loads, fill to bar 1; for large loads, fill to bar 3; and for HE full loads, fill to bar 5. If you're using our HE formula, then for medium loads, fill to bar 2; for large loads, fill to bar 4; and for HE full loads, fill to bar 5.
Tips: Always refer to the label on the carton or bottle for specific instructions. Use more detergent for heavily soiled loads. Recommended amounts are based on average water hardness. For very hard water, use a little more detergent (approximately 1/4 dose). For very soft water, use a little less detergent (approximately 1/4 dose). Always measure HE liquids using the cap from the detergent bottle. Do not measure HE liquid using the lines on the HE washing machine dispenser. If using a "compact" machine, use the recommended dosage of detergent, and be sure to use an HE detergent for an HE machine.
