Tide Pods Review


Tide Pods are a detergent, stain fighter, and brightener all in one. Get the same Tide clean in a small, convenient package.

I bought a small pack of 16 at $4.99 at Target to try, and was impressed by the innovative design. 

Pros:

1) Convenient and easy. Bring only one pod per load to the coin operated laundry or the shared laundry machine in the basement.

2) Less waste. Getting the old small -- one use -- laundry packs in aluminum foil is such a waste. I tend to use too much detergent, and this pack cleans perfectly.

3) Works with HE washing machines.

Cons:

1) Cannot vary load. If you are just washing table cloth and sheets, 1/2 a load, you are out of luck.

2) Not really working well with cold / gentle wash. Leaves blue stains behind.



I like it overall.
