Advantages

Tide replaced old-fashioned soap flakes in 1946.

Tide detergents contain enzymes for better stain removal. Tide Stain Release is an in-wash booster that works with detergents for hard-to-remove stains.

Powdered vs. Liquid

Tide comes in more than a dozen types of powdered detergents, which are good for soil removal, and liquid detergents, which are better on greasy stains.

Tide for Cold Water

Tide Coldwater saves energy bills and wear on clothes.

Cold-water washing saves the average household $63 per year on energy bills, but consumers thought cold water would not wash clothes well. To address this issue, P&G developed Tide Coldwater, which provides deep cleaning in cold water and less wear on clothes.
