Tide Original

[Chetlaham]

Does anyone keep finding themselves going back to Tide Original? Does anyone end up missing the suds, the smell, the looks, the results that come with it? While Tide Professional is great for stained items, I find Tide regular is great for greasy soils and average wear items. I also like the light scent it leaves on clothes at the end of the cycle.

I never cared much for Tide.
It always generated a lot of suds which I figured would not rinse out of the wash.
A few times it even foamed up and out of the lid.
Especially when I used my Kenmore portable, with that high-speed agitator.
I prefer low-sudsing detergent.

IMO you're overdosing. Some suds are good, I love suds, but foaming out of the lid is to much for the load. Tide is potent detergent and meant to be used relatively sparingly.

True story...
I once went to a party at a friend's condo.
Typical bunch of drunks and pot smoking going on.
I passed out on the sofa all boozed up, and woke the next morning.
The first thing I saw was white foam coming out of the kitchen doorway.

Apparently, one of the drunks at the party decided to help clean up the dishes and stuff.
Loaded the dishwasher and poured in a cup of Tide.
Need I say more
HAHAHAHA!

Tide? Try JOY or DAWN, in a town with soft water. Detergent dispenser full. Yes, it happened, the suds were something to be only seen to be believed.

I miss the old Tide original and Downy April fresh. I now use Persil Advanced Clean oxi+odor with Snuggle super fresh and they smell way better. They suds less in my Kenmore Elite by LG.

I now prefer Persil.

Interesting results.

I find Tide Professional gets grease and oil out better then regular Tide by quite a long shot. Maybe my higher temperatures and water softener are the reason. I do use regular Tide for normal stuff as it seems wasteful to use Tide Pro where it can't shine.

Honestly, so do I. Tide Pro is king, but for light to low to moderate soil loads Tide regular works just as well. Also, I've noticed minimal increase in cleaning when using Tide Pro on Hot vs on warm which is great for me in terms of saving energy. Tide regular is similar for average soils- great results on warm with suds to.

used to be Wisk. It's the one in the blue/orange container that's their TOL product.
