child proof cap
My hands are not man size thus I can only open with a knife. Needless to say the cap will never be put back on. Will look for another product that I can easily access in the future.

Caused hives and multi-day allergic reaction
These pods caused a severe allergic reaction in my 4 year old daughter from head to toe.
Had to take prednisone and Benadryl for days following her sleeping on sheets washed with these “Free and Gentle” pods.
Reading the reviews now, it is clear that we aren’t the only ones, so what does Tide plan to do about it?

Use in cold water no scent
It doesn’t make any sense when you’re washing your clothes so you have to wonder if it really works. Its scent free has no smell. You can use it in cold water where the pods don’t stick to your clothes I particularly don’t like it.

Oh my god.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tried using free and clear pods for my family because the store i go to was out of my usual detergent. My son broke out head to toe in massive hives. Ears and all. I ended up having to give him allergy medicine and bring him to urgent care because the hives just kept getting worse and his feet were completely swollen...

I have a washer without the agitator. I used the recommended amount per wash and seriously my clothes still felt dirty. I will stick to the cheaper brands and liquid detergent its jus...

Unhappy Loyal Customer
I’ve always loved tide. I am so highly disappointed. The pods leave a a gross texture and stained multiple pieces of clothing. Blue stains from other tide pods all throughout loads of wash. This is more noticeable on my light clothing. Also when I’ve taken my clothes out of the dryer I’ve found pod plastic like residue dried on my clothes. Tide is not wallet friendly in...

Love these pods!
In two years of use, never a problem. They are so easy to use--no muss, no fuss. I really like that they can be-- and should be--used in cold water.

Ruins clothes
I had such expectations for this product because I only wash with cold water with minimal detergent. I followed the directions. Used one pod, the wrapper got stuck on my black leggings leaving a white sticky "stain" that was very difficult to remove. Very disappointed.

Tide Pods are ruining our clothing.
I have been a loyal Tide customer for over 40 years. I have been using the Tode pods, and they are ruining our clothing. We have spent so much money on our clothes and had to get dispose by throwing our clothing away. We wash our clothing in cold water and the plastic on the pods do not dissolve and stick to our clothing in which stick together with the pod covering....

Thanks for taking the time to share write to us, and for choosing Tide for the past 40 years. This surely isn't the cleaning we expect after extensive quality testing. This can typically happen if there's not enough room in your washer for these PODS™ to tumble freely however, we'd like to learn more. So we can gather some further information, could you please give us a call when you have a chance? You can reach us at (800) 879-8433.

Packaging
Although I have no gripes with the product itself, the jug that the pods come in is about 1/4" too tall to fit in the pedestal/drawer under my washer. I don't like having to leave them out because I have to clean around them and that's just one more step in my house cleaning routine. Could you maybe shave a little off the height of the container?

What a way to clean your clothes and not get all of those dyes and perfumes in your clothes are on your skin! This is a bargain and I am so glad I tried these Tide pods!

Total waste of money
These things are a gemic, let's start off with the pods themselves whats all the warning labels on the back "don't get them on you"? If you're not supposed to get it on you then why put it in you clothes fibers, smart. Second these thing's are not gentle to skin there is something with tide pods all of them no matter the kind they make your clothes insanely itching and ...
