If Tide is leaving stains on your clothes it can be that you're using too much Tide detergent or the Tide detergent is not getting properly washed out of your clothes.
You may need to use less Tide or also mix in 1 cup of vinegar with the Tide and or do a second rinse to fully rinse the Tide detergent out.
Whether you are using Tide or other detergent pods, liquid, or powder, if the detergent doesn't disperse evenly in the wash water, it can leave residue or stains on clothes.
Improper dispersal of the laundry detergent can also happen if the washer is overloaded and the clothes don't have room to move in the drum.
The Tide that gets clothes the cleanest is Tide Hygienic Clean Power Pods which is formulated to better penetrate fibers and to dissolve and remove body oils that cannot be seen on the clothing.
Tide Ultra Oxi Powder Laundry detergent and Tide Free and Gentle Liquid laundry detergent also cleans the best.
The best fabric softener to use with Tide is Downy Fabric Softener as Tide and Downy fabric softener contain a detergent, stain remover and color protector as well.
The best laundry detergent compared to Tide laundry detergent is Persil laundry detergent which removes up to 2 percent of more stains than Tide Laundry detergent.
Besides Tide the Persil laundry detergent is one of the long and best selling laundry detergents even in Europe.
The best detergent besides Tide is Persil and Gain laundry detergent.
Gain laundry detergent smells better than Tide laundry detergent although I find that Tide laundry detergent gets my clothes and laundry cleaner than Gain.
Powdered Tide is better than liquid Tide and cleans better in my opinion.
Tide Powder does work better than liquid and cleans much better because of the enzymes the Tide powder contains.
I prefer using Tide Powder detergent when I can but will use liquid detergent if it's all I can get.
I find my clothes come out cleaner with Tide Powder detergent than it does with Liquid detergent.
Although when using cold water the liquid detergents dissolve better when compared with liquid detergents but overall I prefer the powder detergent.
Tide powder laundry detergent in the Free & Gentle version and scented powder laundry detergent has been discontinued.
However Tide Original powder has not been discontinued and can still be found in most stores and even through Amazon.com
Tide Free & Gentle Laundry detergent powder has been discontinued due to not enough demand for it.
However there still is enough demand for the Tide Original powder laundry detergent and so they still continue to make and sell it.
My Walmart store here has Tide Original Powder laundry detergent but not the Free & Gentle.
You might still find some Tide Free & Gentle Powder detergent in some stores that still have stocks of it.
However if not and you want the Free and Gentle Tide you can get it in liquid detergent form instead.
