Good laundry detergent is effective at removing stains and odours from clothing with minimal effort on your part. Tide's Free & Gentle Liquid Laundry Detergent is the best choice for most people because it's unscented, effective at cleaning, and not as hazardous to children as pods.

I think a lot of odor problems come from all cold water washes coupled with lower water levels in today's washers, added to the dumbed down temps= odors and not so clean laundry. Companies add perfumes to detergents, FSs, and scent beads to mask odors. It takes at least very warm water and a good detergent and extra rinse to remove body oils and sweat.

As for your ?, I personally can't say. I can't tolerate heavy perfumes so I use Tide F/G with Borax added to really smelly loads using tap hot water. I would think the Tide you have pictured is loaded with perfumes that would make my throat scream.

Actually, the plain regular forms of Tide HE liquid have two odor removing agents, while the Febreze versions do not. Just food for thought.

My SQ top load used to have an odor until I switched back to powder detergent.

Thank you for the input. I appreciate the participation.
