Tide detergent is considered bad because of a concern about a chemical known as 1,4-dioxane.
The exposure to this compound can cause eye and nose irritation, kidney problems, and possible long-term lung damage.
Tide is an enzyme based detergent.
Tide laundry detergent is powered by enzymes that bring about specific biochemical reactions in the wash.
Not all Tide Detergent is non bio.
However Tide does make some laundry detergents that are non bio.
Tide purclean with honey lavender scent is the first bio-based liquid laundry detergent that has the cleaning power that you expect and deserve from Tide.
It is the first 65% USDA certified bio-based detergent with the cleaning power of Tide.
The difference between bio detergent and non bio detergent is that the biological detergents contain enzymes which make it easier to break down the dirt that builds up in your clothes.
Non-bio detergents don't contain these enzymes, making them generally kinder to sensitive skin.
The enzymes in biological washing detergent work by breaking down proteins.
Bio laundry detergent contains enzymes that help to break down common stains, such as food stains, sweat stains, grass stains and grease.
Although non biological detergents do not contain stain removing enzymes, they can still be great at removing stains and keeping your clothes clean and smelling fresh.
