Tide

Take one Tide Pod out of the container with clean, dry hands. Place the pod at the bottom of your washing machine drum, and never place it inside of a laundry detergent drawer. The number of Tide Pods you will use depends on the size of a load of laundry you are washing. Refer to the product directions listed on the packaging to determine how many Tide pods you will need. Place your clothing in the washing machine, then run it on the desired cycle until it is complete.

The hydrophobic molecules in Tide attract soil and stains to help release them from different types of fabrics. Original Tide detergent contains fluorescent whitening agents that help brighten clothes along with special enzymes designed to remove tougher stains like blood, wine, or grass.
