I have a family of people with sensitive skin. No matter what I used to wash clothes with--they would walk around with red bumps all over the place and scratching like crazy.
Then one day I discovered Tide Free. It is free of all dyes, scents, and additives. For may family it was problem solved.
I have also been impressed with how clean my clothes have been. With the Tide, I do not have the problem with dulling clothes that some of the other detergents can cause. Also, with the Tide Free, I have noticed that I do not have that perfume smell that you can sometimes get.
Tide comes in booth liquid and powder. I prefer to use the liquids myself. Tide has now come out with a user friendly new ball that you can jus fill and set right in your wash machine. This enables the tide to double as a stain remover. You just rub some of the detergent from the ball directly across the stain. Then just throw the article of clothing into the was with the other clothes. It come out clean and stain free.
