FAQ

Q: How much Tide detergent should I use per load of laundry?

With Tide Plus Febreze Sport Odor Defense™, measure liquid detergent with the cap from the bottle of detergent. For medium loads, fill to bar 1. For large loads, fill to bar 3. 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.

Q: Is Tide Plus Febreze Sport Odor Defense™ safe for use on my high-performance/active wear items?

A: Yes. When used as directed, Tide Plus Febreze Sport Odor Defense™ is safe on all washable fabrics including high-performance and active wear. For best results, follow the manufacturer’s care label on your garment.

Q: Can I use Tide Plus Febreze Sport Odor Defense™ on other clothes?

A: Yes, Tide Plus Febreze Sport Odor Defense™ is safe for use on all your washable clothes, from the sports gear you wear on your morning run to the outfit you wear for the rest of the day.

Q: How is Tide Plus Febreze Sport Odor Defense™ different from Tide Plus Febreze Freshness?

A: Tide Plus Febreze Sport Odor Defense™ is designed to deliver a powerful deep-down clean to help remove tough odors, especially sweaty sports odors, while Tide Plus Febreze Freshness provides long-lasting freshness in addition to the Tide clean you love.

Q: Is Tide Plus Febreze Sport Odor Defense™ HE compatible with my standard washer?

A: Tide Plus Febreze Sport Odor Defense™ is available in two formulations: HE and standard. We recommend only using Tide Plus Febreze Sport Odor Defense™ HE with high efficiency washers.

Clogs Machine Dispenser

HE liquid too thick. Does not rinse out of machine dispenser. Must clean dispenser each time. Mix 1/2 recommended amount of detergent with water stirring to combine. Time consuming sticky mess.

Disappointed

I am disappointed with the sport odor defense. The armpitson my cycling jersey still smell bad after washing. I’ll stick with Penguin Wash or Nathan’s since I know they work fine.

WAY too perfumy

I can't tell if this product actually removes odors, or just masks them with heavy perfume.

AWFUL PRODUCT

I bought this product hoping that it would mask odor. It did the exact opposite! After several uses, each load smelled so terrible that I had to buy a new detergent and rewash each load.
