New Tide Odor Rescue pods. GOOD and the BAD

9 years ago

Of course when Laundry Mitch emailed me a pic of these, I immediately have to had them. Because you know I need more detergent like Donald Trump needs more Golden Apricot hair colour and hairspray, LOL

Target only had two left...the shelves looked panicky & picked out :-O I grabbed both, but gifted one to a dear friend, who loves pods!

They smell very good. Of course a little P&G sweet, but not offensive.

With warm or lightly hot water (105-120F) and a large load, they were a little sudsy, but the suds break down rather quickly and all 3 rinses were pretty decent!

BAD part.....DO NOT USE these with HOT water. I did a very large load of white cotton towels, 140F. OMG, OMFG!! The suds literally!! were coming up thru my detergent tray. I was a few inches from being an I Love Lucy episode :-O

I quickly dumped about 1/2 cup of Up & Up Spring Bloom softener down the detergent tray, and within seconds almost all the suds collapsed.

I will now do 5 DEEP water rinses, to make sure all suds are gone from towels and my machine. I will then follow up and run my LiGi with some STPP and no laundry to clean her out.

Crisis dodged, but a close call!!!

Been there but not with those. With other. It's so scary when the suds come out of the detergent drawer. (((((Larsi))))).

Great description of #ol'pervyhair BTW! Hard to believe but it's even worse in person. We were at a screening a few years back and as he waked in, the snickering followed him down the aisle.

I seen the pods..don't want them. In my opinion they stink just like the other Tide pods.

Larsi..did you rewash the towels? LOL

Well, that didn't last long. I was so shocked when you messaged me with the picture of not one, but two containers.

You need to find a Tide Pod you like, Larsi ;)

mamapinky... I have never tried the Tide free pods. I keep getting burned with Tide pods, so I've been hesitant to buy a whole bag or container of unscented detergent pods.

Although, you are right. With liquid fabric softener, or in wash scent beads....I could easily scent them.

Okay, that's it. I'm sending you some! I need to get to the P.O. this week and get a package off to both you and Miami Mami. SO overdue.

Are those pods a gel or liquid- could they be cut in half for small loads?
