#1 recommended by washing machine manufacturers*

America’s #1 Detergent**

Overview

Tide With a Touch of Downy HE Turbo Powder formulated with HE Turbo technology and it’s the #1 recommended detergent by washer manufacturers*.

How it works:

Like regular Tide, Ultra Tide Plus A Touch of Downy contains surfactants. Surfactant molecules have two parts. One is "water loving" and the other is "water hating." The water-loving (hydrophilic) part breaks the surface tension of water. The water-hating (hydrophobic) part is attracted to oil and grease in soils, loosening and removing them from fabrics. Ultra Tide Plus A Touch of Downy is also formulated with special ingredients that provide softening benefits throughout the wash.

Over the months of using this product my sweaters and blankets have kept their softness. My laundry routine has been simplified because I can skip fabric softener. I never want to go back!

KEEP THIS PRODUCT ON THE MARKET

StarStarStarStarStar5/5

My apartment complex has a commercial top loader w/out a dispenser. We have hard water in this county so powder detergent is a must. The softeners and brighteners in this product allow laundry to be 1 step because it has everything I need. And there's seldomly been a stain it can't remove.

Easy to use, great on your clothes!

The feel of your laundry after using this detergent is amazing! It’s so easy to use and the consistency of just grabbing the same amount each time easy for my husband to help with laundry too! Easily stored on the back of the washer!
