Please make this in Clean Breeze scent!

Would Recommend

I recently switched over from Tide with bleach alternative to see if we could save some money. I'm really disappointed that this isn't available in my favorite scent, "clean breeze." "Fresh scent" smells OK in the bottle, but to me it leaves the clothes smelling what I can only describe as "soapy." Mountain scent is too strong. "Clean breeze" is subtle and very pleasant! Please consider adding it to more Tide products!

Well water

Would Recommend

We have a well and discovered that Cold Water Tide works the best for us. We don't use warm or hot water to wash our clothes and well water is much colder so that other detergents just can't compete.

Best cold water detergent

Would Recommend

I have tried other laundry products always come back to Tide Coldwater. I refuse to use warm or hot water for my laundry and Tide Coldwater is the only product I have been able to find that will clean well with cold water washing.

Dissapointed

Would Not Recommend

Really not happy with Tide Coldwater. Love the smell but it did no better than regular detergent in cold water. My 3 year old had ketchup on his shirt and even after soaking the whole load for 30 minutes it was still there. I think I'll stick with a less expensive detergent and just pretreat the ocassional spot.

best rated laundry product 2011

Would Recommend

I will be 60 this year and I have always had a fetish: I LOVE perfectly clean clothes. I grew up using Tide and it worked so great that I have used it forever. This year consumer reports said Tide Coldwater Liquid was the best product at the best price. then added: if it cleans this great in cold water, imagine how it will clean in other temperatures. (ps I've tested all products...I love Tide! thank you)

Cold Water Tide

Would Recommend

Absolutely the BEST cold water detergent on the market. I've tried many different brands throughout my 45 years of marriage but have always returned to Tide. Now I've got my adult children all using it b/c with Tide, there's never a need to second wash items b/c dirt and stains don't come out. Does the job the first time. Makes my life easier and my wash day shorter (which used to be everyday when my 4 kids were growing up).

Love it LOVE IT!

Would Recommend

I love the Tide Coldwater!! What a difference in the rinse...the clothes don't have the soapy residue, or look dingy! My only problem is that I am having trouble finding the Fresh Scent. Mountain Spring abounds, but I prefer less scent remaining on my clothes. Thank you!

I started using Tide for cold water when my daughter told me how much she loved it. I buy it all the time now. The frangrance is light and amazing, I fing myself smelling my clothes as I wear them! And my clothes come out clean! The only thing i want from Tide is a coupon for it!

Horrible

Would Not Recommend

I always wash with cold water so i assumed buying tide coldwater was the way to go. Big Mistake!!! Did not even touch any kind of stain. the macaroni stain on my daughters shirt remained in the same spot, none of my clothes looked remotely clean, and acti lift is a joke! I do not recommend this product to anyone

Great for Darks

Would Recommend

I bought Tide Coldwater for my dark clothes as I am a freak about maintaining my colors for as long as possible. I am the type of person that seperates all colors pinks, reds, blues...etc. I only use Tide Coldwater on anything with color and I love it. I also have very sensitive skin and have been using the Mountain Spring without any issues though I am going to try the Free now that its available. Thank you Tide for saving my darks and saving me money!

Tide Acti lift cold water

Would Not Recommend

I was a loyal customer of the Original Tide for Coldwater (Not acti lift cold water) but due to not being able to find the original Tide for Coldwater I chaged to the one with Acti Lift. I do not like it. When I used Acti Lift Tide it ruined my clothes with streaks of stains like bleach stains. I continue to look for the original Tide for Coldwater but realize that you have discontinued making it. I would really like to see you bring back the ORIGINAL TIDE FOR COLD WATER without the Acti Lift.

Tide Coldwater ruined my clothes

Would Not Recommend

I am not happy at all and cannot believe that Tide Coldwater ruined my light colored clothing. I wanted to start using only cold water for washing along with Tide Coldwater and it was a mistake. All of my whites and light colored clothing now have these blue stains on them that won't come out and turned the clothing a shade of blue. It is terrible.

2x Ultra Coldwater????

Would Not Recommend

I had not been a Tide consumer until I tried the 2x Ultra coldwater based on the Consumer Rpts review. I absolutely loved this detergent, it made me a Tide lover! Please bring it back to market... I have moved on to Era's 2x ultra product.

What Happened?

Would Recommend

I have been using tide for over 30 years. Throughout the years there have been many changes. Even though it cost more, I stuck with my tide. When I tried the 2x coldwater tide, and had to use just a 1/4 cup, I was thrilled. What happened? I find I am using more than a cup with this actilift. Bring back the 2x tide!!! Even the fragrance is different. Don't ruin a good thing.

Love Tide

Would Recommend

The coldwater Tide is very nice. Anything to save money. But, someone said they did not like the Mountain Spring, I love how it makes my clothes smell, but I use Downey with it. The two together make a wonderful clean smell.

difficult to measure accurately

Would Not Recommend

these changes to double and triple strength are driving me crazy. you can't easily see the measuring lines on the cup so we end up using too much. and everything has sticky dribbles on the top of my washer. just reduice this stuff to tablets: 1 for small load, 2 for med, 3 for large. cheaper shpping and less confusion.
