Tide Free And Gentle Review - Great For Relieving Laundry Allergies

(Stain-Removal-101.com)

Here is my Tide Free And Gentle laundry detergent review, since my son suffers from many allergies, including laundry allergies.

I recently had the opportunity to speak with Dr. Jeanine Downie, a dermatologist. During this video interview I discussed the topic of laundry detergent allergies with her, since this is a problem my son suffers with in my own home.

The interview was sponsored by Procter & Gamble, the makers of Tide laundry detergent, so she discussed the Tide Free And Gentle detergent during the interview.

Here is the video for those of you interested.



If you noticed, within the interview itself I also discussed how we use this laundry detergent (formerly called Tide Free And Clear) within my home.

I have had good results with the detergent for my normal laundering, and also for some stains, although I have also used other products to help remove these stains sometimes. *** Update -- I did a test to see how well this detergent works to remove some really tough stains, all by itself. It confirmed that you really do need to use some laundry stain removers with the product. You can see the before and after pictures here, for Tide as a stain remover. ***

I myself love scents in my laundry, and this detergent does not have any scents or dyes. However, these scents and dyes are what cause many people, apparently including my son, to develop laundry allergies. (Although, as I've gotten used to no-scent products, I have noticed I tolerate strong scents less and less.)


Therefore, I now use this product for all my laundry, for everyone and everything in the home, and have really liked it.

He does not break out when I use it, but has been known to develop hives or excema when I use laundry detergent if I'm visiting someone else's house, like my Moms, for example.



I have not used any other free and clear detergents from other brands, but I suspect they would work just about as well and still not bother his allergies too much. *** Update - I got the chance to review Purex with Zout, in its scent free version, and liked it just as well as Tide Free and Gentle.***

I would love to hear from you regarding your experience with Tide Free And Gentle, either in the powder or liquid form. (We use the liquid, because I live in an area with very hard water.) You can share your Tide detergent review here, for this scent or any other version of the product, or read other reviews already submitted.

Also, if you suffer from laundry allergies yourself please share in the comments what type of either homemade or commercial laundry detergent you use which works well for you. You can share your laundry detergent review here.

Tide Free and Clear Versus Tide Free And Gentle Review

by Carrie

Carrie has provided this review of Tide Free And Clear Detergent, and the consequences to her of Tide's recent switch from "free and clear" to Tide Free and Gentle.

Carrie says:

I used Tide Free and Clear for over a year with great results.

I have allergies to most detergents and I was OK with the original Tide Free. Once they changed it to Tide Free and Gentle I started experiencing allergies.

I started looking online and representatives from Tide claimed it was only a name change and not a product change. I found this confusing because even the ad claims that it now cleans better and how would it clean any differently with only a change in name?

I switched to Sunlight Sensitive and so far I'm OK. I even found that the ingredients for homemade laundry soap contained a lot of unwanted chemicals, so I'm not sure if I even want to take that route.

I'm also looking into brands sold by the Bulk Barn (Simply Clean) because they use alternative natural cleaning ingredients.

Taylor says:

Thanks Carrie for sharing your experiences once Tide changed from the green capped Free And Clear and changed the name to Tide Free and Gentle, with a light blue cap.

I myself use Tide Free and Gentle because of my son's laundry allergies, and I personally did not notice anything when the change occurred. However, each person is different and your reaction and my son's therefore cannot be compared exactly.

I would love to hear your review of Sunlight laundry detergent, or any other laundry detergents you choose in your quest to find one that is natural and won't bother your allergies.

Here is my list of available hypoallergenic laundry detergents, in case you need to look for one for yourself or a family member.

In addition, I would love to hear any other reader's laundry reviews. You can share your Tide detergent reviews here, or read other reviews already submitted.
