WILL NOT USE PODS!
" June 9, 2013
"Pods are horrible! I got a large container of pods as a Christmas gift - I usually use liquid free. The pods do not dissolve the entire way in my front loader. Even more frustrating, my husband keeps telling me he is noticing NEW stains on our clothes (he does all the ironing). I just did our queen size sheets - when I went to put them on our bed, the fitted sheet had a large area of blue hard plastic melted onto it - I had to rewash the sheets. I am giving the rest of the container away. I cannot keep doing this anymore. I also dislike the weird smell the pods leave on my clothing.... just very disappointed. Will definitely only use liquid."

Bad Bad Bad
" June 6, 2013
"I bought Tide PODS after a friend said they were easy to use. I have a front load washer so I read the instructions twice to be sure I could use PODS with it. I put the POD in the washer, then loaded the clothing in. After the washer finished up I opened the door to find a slimy whitish pink substance. Figuring it might just be from one of the kid's items I threw my clothes in the dryer. Upon removing the clothing from the dryer and folding them I found two of my white TShirts had blue and orange stains all over them. Very disappointed in Tide PODS!"

Clogged drain and stained clothes
" June 3, 2013
"My step daughter and her boyfriend moved in with us about a month ago. This past weekend, my husband had to "snake" the drain pipe. The water from the washing machine was backing up and coming out of the hose behind the washer, spilling onto the floor. We were baffled as to what could have caused that line to clog. Today, my step daughter comes up to me with her $25 shirt she bought from Disneyland last week with a big blue stain on it. After some quick research on these pods, I put her shirt to wash with a batch of my husband's clothes using a little of tide's free and gentle detergent and a cup of white distilled vinegar. The stain came right out. I proceeded to keep reading reviews on these pods and saw at least four reviews stating that the plastic coating from the pods clogged their drain pipe, causing them to call a plumber to fix the problem. Eureeka!, there was our clogging problem. We have lived here for over 6 years, and have NEVER had a problem with the drainage. Thank goodness my husband is a "jack of all trades." For what this product costs, which is probably for the "convenience" alone, it is ridiculous for so many people to have to throw away clothes, call a plumber, or wash their clothes again multiple times to put a dent in the stains.This product is seeming to cause more hassle and money than convenience. My stepdaughter is a college student. She cannot afford to keep buying new clothes, and I shouldn't have to rewash clothing items with vinegar. The tide pods are no longer allowed to be used in our home. I would warn everyone I can to steer clear of the tide pods!!!!"

Pods areTERRIBLE!!!!!
" June 3, 2013
"Over and over again the pods didn't dissolve leaving the sticky outer packaging on my clothes and ruining several items. I contacted Tide & they sent me a coupon to buy more. Why would I buy more when the product is ruining my clothes. Not a proper response to my problem. They also said to use warmer water to wash the clothes. It says on the container that the pods dissolve in all temperatures. This product is definitely not worth the money. Not counting the countless items of clothing that were ruined! If I could have given no stars I would have done that!"

Complete waste of money!
" May 26, 2013
"I am a mom of 4 boys, so I do a lot of laundry. This product is horrible. These pods do NOT completely dissolve. I am using the hottest water possible to avoid this, yet my family is constantly finding the plastic coating embedded in our clothes, towels and sheets. Forget about using cold water. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY. I am using the pods I currently have and never buying them again. Tide should not sell these pods on the market."

tide pods
" May 24, 2013
"do not buy - I have ruined numerous items with blue stains that needed rewashing. New issue is the plastic melted on the shirt and has left a sheen of plastic. Too expensive a product with all the frustration - rewashing - and now ruined clothes!! They need to take this one back to the table and do a remake!!! Great idea but horrible product!"

Disaster
" May 24, 2013
"I first started using the Pods at my MIL's and boy do I wish she never bought them!! It seemed like it was working at first, but I didn't realize how long it actually has been ruining my clothes. As you can see, MANY people with front-loaders are telling you that it doesn't dissolve in cold water-- LISTEN! I've been finding little plastic pieces on some of my clothes for some time now and realized it only happens to cold cycles that I wash at her house. This week I'm house sitting and praying that the gigantic purple/pink/blue stain covering at least half of HER king-sized sheet will come out! I noticed that the Tide employers had the audacity to not only remind others to not overfill their load, but to not run cold cycles in the winter! Well, 1. I know when to stop adding laundry and 2. it was 90 degrees out that day. Unfortunately I was in a hurry, so I didn't see the stain before putting it in the dryer (but I did notice a weird smell too; it must be what others talked about). If P&G is concerned enough about dissolving issues to recommend not running cold cycles in winter months (and to always use the warmest water the clothes will allow), then it shouldn't be advertised to dissolve in cold water!! How many people have to report damaged/ruined items for you to actually do something?? Giving bad advice to random reviews doesn't cut it! I will definitely warn everyone I know about this!!"

Does NOT dissolve properly
" May 22, 2013
"I bought Tide pods to try. I have a front loading washer. I will NEVER purchase this again. I have tried using the pod with hot water, cold water and warm water. It just doesn't matter what water temp. I used, blue stuff was left on the clothes. I had to rewash each load to get the blue off each item. I do think pods are too expensive and a royal pain to use. I definitely would not advise anyone to waste their money and buy this."

Pods do not dissolve completely!
" May 21, 2013
"After using this product several times. I also noticed the sticky residue pieces on my clothing. I thought at first it was because of cold water, but it does the same thing with hot water. I love Tide detergent, but am very disappointed in Pods. I won't be using these again unless Tide acknowledges and corrects the problem."

"i have a beautiful white skirt from Melanie Lyne that i paid an absolute fortune for...blue stains all over it...after reading the reviews, i feel as though tide should probably invest in improvement and make a half-decent attempt at correcting their stupid mistake...i am angry, almost persuaded to buy from another competitor"

Plumbing Problems
" May 14, 2013
"After using Tide Pods for several months I started to notice hard plastic spots on some of our clothes. I did not have staining or any other problems. Because our clothes washer is in our basement and drains below the sewer line I had a laundry pump system installed 7 years ago. Our current washing machine is a 3 year old front loader. Six weeks ago I was doing a load of laundry, the laundry pump jammed and the tank that contains the pump overflowed and leaked all of the water from the entire laundry cycle into our basement. I cleaned up the water and shook the tank and the pump started working again. I flushed the tank and the pump worked fine. I realized over the last 6 weeks that the pump works fine if a load of laundry was done using warm or hot water at least once every few days. If we did not do laundry for 4 or more days the pump would jam and we would have a flood. I purchased a new pump system and tank ($220) and went to install it today. I took the vent pipe off the old system, took a flash light and looked into the tank. I saw that a thick coating of clear/grayish gunk was coating the inside of the tank, the pump, the pump float and other components. I realized right away it was probably the pods not totally dissolving. I looked up the reviews on this site and saw that some other people were complaining about undissolved pods and problems with their front loader machines getting clogged. I am hoping that I can flush all the pod gunk out of the pump system so I can return the new one I purchased and save us a couple hundred dollars. I will never use the pods again and will go back to using Tide liquid immediately."

Doesn't Dissolve
" May 12, 2013
"Pod doesn't dissolve completely, it breaks up into many small pieces and sticks to your clothes. If you do not pick them off before you dry your clothes it will become a hard plastic like material that is hard to get off."

Smells HORRIBLE..
" May 10, 2013
"I don't know if anyone else has this problem but when ever i use tide pods my clothes, come out smelling like a wet dog. I have done everything to make my clothes smell better. I even use 3 on loads. I would not recommend this to anyone. Tide liquid is so much better and smells amazing!!"

What is going on????
" May 8, 2013
"At first, this product was great, but in the past month I have had to throw clothes away due to its "wrapper" not dissolving throughly in the wash ( I do pre-soak, Stain cycle, and extra rinse on ALL my wash loads). The film does nto dissolve all the way and then when I put the clothes in teh dryer, it turns into a hard plastice like substance that sticks to teh cloths and stucks them together. It is impoosible to get out and I have to throw stuff away! I suppost my kids and self on under 2600 a month, I cannot afford to just throw clothes away!!!! At first I thought my kid left something in a pocket, but after MANY washes having this occur sporatically, it came to see if it happened with a different type of Tide and it did not; it ONLY occurs when I uses these Pods! iF YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR CLOTHES, BE FOREWARNED THEY MAY JUST BE RUINED BY THIS PRODUCT!"
