tide pods review – plus a $100 visa gift card giveaway


I hate to do laundry. The piles, the sorting, the pre-treatments, it just seems so time consuming. The worst is when you use a powder detergent and it falls all over your floor leaving a gritty mess to clean up! I once had a whole box tip over and spill – what a waste! Nothing ever seems easy when it comes to doing laundry! Who’s with me?

So when Tide sent me their TIDE PODS to try out – I was actually excited to do laundry! Something to make it cleaner, more simple, and a brilliant outcome for your clothes!

These couldn’t be simpler or less time consuming! Simply toss in a pac, put in your clothes, and let it do its thing; it’s a powerful 3-in-1 detergent that cleans, brightens, and fights stains. All in one single packet! Just one removes more stains than 6 caps of the liquid bargain brand*!


*
Based on stain removal performance of 1 pac of Tide Pods vs. 6 doses of the leading liquid bargain brand base variant in a standard top loading machine.

I had seen some like these around but when I found out that Tide’s was the only 3-chamber unit dose on the market, I knew I for sure wanted the triple effect! Laundry made “fun”– pop in a whole new kind of clean with Tide Pods. After the wash my clothes smelled fresh, and the colors looked bright and clean!

Tell me, what is your favorite outfit to stand out in?

You’ll get a chance to win a $100 Visa gift card from Tide!

What do you want to keep bright and new looking with Tide Pods?

    I like that I wouldn’t need to pre-treat stains on my children’s clothes!

  2. 2

    I feel like I stand out when I wear my 3 inch tall boots (I’m 5’9″ in my bare feet), black leggings, and top with a sweatheart neckline.

    My favorite is my black dress….very classic! Love the Tide Pods not only for the way they clean but for 2 other reasons…

    1) My daughter went off to college (freshmen) and I sent her with a box of Tide Pods. She only has to haul 1 down (per load) and not have to lug a jug of detergent and not have to worry about leaving it in the laundry room for someone to steal.
    2) My brother had a massive stroke and is now home recovering from it. He cannot use his right arm and I introduced him to the Pods and all he has to do is reach in and pick up one POD and throw it in. No worries about picking up a container of liquid detergent and spilling it or even dropping it. Safe and effective! Thanks Tide!!!

  25. 26

    My favorite outfit to stand out in is a gorgeous pleated scoop-neck vintage style dress!

    When I choose my professional work clothes I make sure they are washable. My blouses and tank tops are the most difficult to keep looking bright, stain free and like new. They are actually harder than the kids clothes to keep looking good. I want to try Tide Pods on my work clothes.

  111. 113

    With an HE washer and knowing that you use “less” product, I think it is harder to get out some of the stains that accumulate on clothes that get spilt on. I would like to be able to keep my work clothes clean, bright and stain free.

    I LOVE wearing black, for lots of reasons… for one, I like my hair Anna Nicole Smith blonde, and black looks REALLY good with blonde hair… and two, because it makes you look skinnier, duh. But it’s hard to keep black, black, ya know what I mean? My FaVoRiTe thing is a black sweater dress that looks just KILLER with black boots, so I’m gonna say that one… I’d like to keep that one looking REALLY black.
