Tide Coldwater

Pros: High quality detergent, comes in liquid and powder, smells good.
Cons: Whites dont' come out spotless in cold water.

Tide Coldwater I am always up for trying new detergents, as long as I buy Cheer for my mother. I was anxious to see if Tide Coldwater really worked, many detergents claim to work in cold water but some fail miserable. I decided to test ...

Pros: Works
Cons: No cons

Well, I had no idea what I was buying at the time. I was in a hurry and saw the words TIDE on the box. I smelled the new "Glacier Scent," and was on my way. I get home and noticed what I have purchased. I agreed to try it because I have always ...

Pros: Improved on regular Tide. Great smell.
Cons: It didn't get all the stains out.

Isn't it nice when a free sample arrives in the mail? This happened a couple of weeks ago. I opened up a package and there was a one-load sample of Tide Coldwater detergent. I then remembered filling in a form for the Tide Coldwater ...

Pros: Accomplishes its goal and fulfills its promises to thoroughly clean clothes in cold water.
Cons: none

When I became a “single mom”, money became tight. Very tight! It was at the same time, our county in New York decided to ban the use of laundry detergent saying it was NOT biodegradable. But, I’m a bit ahead of myself so let me backtrack ...

Pros: works great, nice scent, cold water
Cons: none

Laundry day in my household is always a big production. I spend about an hour and a half just sorting out my ten loads of laundry and then have to change out the water temperatures on the washer for each load. In turn it takes me pretty close to six ...

Pros: Light scent, works well in cold water
Cons: Colors still fade

Thank goodness for washing machines! I do a lot of laundry...four loads every day but who is counting. Today I have come to the shocking realization that I don’t really care about saving money when I do the laundry. I use cold water when I do the ...

Pros: Will perform as advertised, small savings of energy and money in the long run.
Cons: Other detergents perform the same way in cold water.

THE CHALLENGE Can liquid Coldwater Tide keep up in cold water against such notables as liquid ERA and liquid ALL detergent? Read on and find out when they battle it out in the (Drumroll please) ULTIMATE LAUNDRY CHALLENGE. Now let's meet ...

Pros: Nice smell. Enough for 26 machine washings.
Cons: Wash water not soapy. Dark scum. Not good for white clothes. Just too many shortcomings!

WHY TIDE COLD WATER? I thought that I'd try this detergent just to see if it measures up at all to the powder detergents. I've used powder detergents for years and with very good results. But when I tried THIS detergent, I thought that it would ...

Pros: Did not actually damage my clothes
Cons: Did not clean clothes as well, caused rewashing, wrinkled my clothes, smelled too strong

I decided to try this product for two reasons. First I'm very conscious of energy use, and the idea of saving the energy used to heat wash water is an attractive one to me. Second, frugality demands that I take good care of our clothing in order to make ...

Pros: Dazzling white whites, bright colors, fresh smelling laundry in COLD WATER!!!
Cons: Have Shout Action Foamer handy for greasy stuff, and bleach for nasty towels and socks.

I signed up for the Tide Coldwater challenge a while back and received my free sample in the mail. I gave it a try, and was impressed enough with it, although not initially impressed enough to switch from my liquid Purex. Rising electrical rates were ...

Pros: Lower electric/gas bill, clothes last a long time and are fresh and clean
Cons: Tide products are generally more expensive than the average detergent

I put Tide Coldwater to the test. I like washing my clothes in cold water as much as possible, not only for the savings in my electric bill but also because it is a lot easier and less damaging to your clothes. When Tide Coldwater came out I thought it ...

Pros: Great scent!
Cons: Pricey!

The front label of Tide Coldwater laundry detergent boldly proclaims “Cold Water Washing Saves Energy and Money,” tempting anyone who is looking to save a buck or two to come closer, which I would imagine is virtually everyone in the grocery ...

Pros: It's a pretty box with a great brand name on it.
Cons: Fades colors in a single load, doesn't clean whites.

I got an e-mail in my box offering me a free sample of this stuff. I clicked the link and was directed to a website that said, "sorry, we're out". I hadn't gone surfing looking for web freebees. I was extended a personal invitation via my direct ...

Pros: Cleaned clothing in cold water
Cons: Smell, for me, was way too strong and unnecessary - overpowering

My clothes were clean, using cold water, but for me anyway, the powerful scent they use in it was way too strong and I had to put the opened box in a plastic bag outside on my doorstep and, unfortunately, I won't be able to use it.

Pros: Cleans fine.
Cons: Very strong perfumy smell on clothing.

As I sit here writing this review, I smell "perfumy." That's right, the t-shirt that was washed in Tide Coldwater has a strong scent.

Even my wife and daughter, who don't normally object to strongly scented products, complained. Our entire garage smells like this stuff. It isn't a bad smell, but I don't happen to want to smell that way.

It seems to clean well enough (I haven't done a careful comparison with regular detergent), but because of the smell we are going to try something else.
