Works great!

Tide works better than other detergents and I need to use Tide Free, without scents. I prefer the powder in a box, also Liquid does not work nearly as well.

The best scent-free clean you can get!

Tide Free and Gentle can clean and soften the dirtiest laundry our active family makes, and it works great in our moderately hard water.
