I use Tide and Ariel Pods (basicly the same product) and after reading this, minutes ago, i just tossed a pod in a cup of tap cold water.
The pod dissolved enough to release the white substance in less than 5 seconds, the orange took 7 seconds and the blue took 12 seconds. very The remaining of the capsule became very slippery (probably wouldn't get glued to the tub or the drum)
Past a few seconds after 2 minutes, it was completelly dissolved.
I poured the solution in other cup to save the detergent for the next load and there was absolutelly no residue.
Not sure if they are popular in the US or not but, Here we have a foam bath that comes in small round or heart shaped capsules. I don't know if they are made by the same substance but i throw two capsules in the tub and they dissolve within seconds too and, in more than 20 years using them 3~5 times a day, i never found any residue in my bathtub, and also, those capsules always come in bright metallic colors (red, blue, green, etc) that would contrast with the tub.
