Give it a try!

Would Recommend

I have used Tide products almost exclusively over the years,with satisfactory results. I had always considered Tide products better than the rest, but have been disappointed by all laundry detergents in particular. They either did not clean my clothes, as well as I felt they should, or stripped the color out of my clothes. When I saw Tide Cold Water in the stores,I was excited to try it, as I have always used cold water to clean all of my colored clothes. The fact that I am taking time to write ...

Pleasant Surprise

Would Recommend

I had been bouncing around between different detergents AND liquid fabric softeners, trying to find something that didn't fade our clothes, or sour them after 2 hours in the washing machine in case I left a load to go to the store or something. I was wasting my money. I started with cheaper brands and worked my way to Tide Coldwater, sans the liquid fabric softener, I vouched for dryer sheets this time, because we are trying to save a little on our electric bill. I must say, I have experienced a...

Will NEVER use again!

Would Not Recommend

Tide Coldwater is the WORST product I have ever used! I used to be a loyal Tide user, but after using the coldwater I discovered random spots on my husband's work shirts, then again noticed bluish/purple spots on ALL our white load. This product cost my family hundreds of dollars to buy new clothes. (I always put the detergent in the water first then load the clothes in for those who question how I do laundry) This product is HORRIBLE. Don't waste your money!! You will end up buying a new wardro...

Horrible Product- Tide Ruined my bed linen

Would Not Recommend

I never really use Tide because I had a bad experience in the past, but the store was out of All Free and Clear ( the brand I prefer). I decided to give it a try again, thinking maybe I was being paranoid. My BRAND NEW and EXPENSIVE ITALIAN SHEETS were RUINED by Tide Coldwater. They were 100% egyptian cotton and a light to medium purple color. I removed them from the washer yesterday to discover random light pink spots and discoloration. I do not own bleach and I have never even used it before. ...

Best Smell

Would Recommend

The fresh scent is by far the best scented laundry detergent. I tend to use Downy Unstoppables but never use them when I use this detergent because the scent is already so nice. Since this is a cold water detergent I only use cold water and all my stains are removed. I recommend this detergent to everyone.

Didn't work

Would Not Recommend

I was so excited to use this because I've had bad luck with getting cold water to actually clean, but this detergent do any better than regular detergent. I'm not talking about stains either, just normal wear smells--like underarms, etc. :(

Tide Cold Water Mountain Spring

Would Recommend

I really love the Mountain Spring scent of Tide. It is less harsh than the Fresh Scent, which I really dislike. But I wish the local stores around where I live carried the Mountain Spring in the very big jug. The one with a pour spout. They do not carry it here, and I do not even know if Tide makes Mountain Spring in that size. All I can ever find in the large size is the Fresh Scent, So I always have to buy the small jugs of Mountain Spring. Otherwise this product is amazing, and I will not use...

Ruins colors

Would Not Recommend

My whole point of a coldwater detergent is to wash knit tops so they don't fade or shrink. I placed the detergent in the washing machine before adding my clothes. One of my light grey shirts touched the detergent, and now the areas of contact are pink! The shirt is ruined. No more Tide for me.

Pity it doesn't come in unscented

Would Not Recommend

I just found out about Tide Coldwater, which sounds great. I do all my laundry in an HE front-loader on either the 60°F or 95°F setting, and would be happy to have a detergent designed for that. But I can't stand the scents used in most detergents -- I always get unscented... and Tide Coldwater isn't available in unscented HE. Oh well.

Tide Coldwter

Would Recommend

I love Tide Coldwater. I've been using it for quite sometime. As soon as it was available on the selves to purchase. Our clothes are so clean and fresh smelling. The Coldwater Tide is just as effective cleaning our clothes as any of the other Tide Laundry Detergents. Economically it's a good value. I'm going to continue to use Tide because it's the best product to buy.

Tide Coldwater

Would Recommend

Tide Coldwater helps me reduce my energy bill. The only draw back is it's hard to find in my area. I hope this will change as more people discover how well it works.

Great for motor oil! WOW!

Would Recommend

My son is a mechanic, his first job,anyway he comes home with black motor oil on his jeans daily. I put tide on them in the am and wash them and lunch and they look new again. I was shocked the first time. He could care less, of course, but mom does. Thank you Tide Coldwater for making a mom proud. It also saves money and the environment. Can't beat it in anyway.

Tide My Choice for forty years!

Would Recommend

Tide is the one and only laundry detergent for our household. I remember when you could get a box (all that was available) for .49 cents. Still does the job it always has, Cleans our clothes! Smells so good and no one breaks out, that happened 39 years ago when I had babies and LOTS of diapers!!! thought I could save $ on a less expensive brand, oh boy, major mistake. It's Tide for Me, Loyal
