Tide PODS
Starting in 1946, Tide is a brand that manufactures laundry essentials; spearheaded by Procter & Gamble, Tide began to bring innovative and never-before-seen products to the table. Finally in 2012 came their greatest invention of the century! Tiny, arm-sized, detergent-loaded, pea pod-looking tablets for an easy and hassle-free laundry experience! You no longer have to measure the amount of detergent you need to use, just toss these pods in the washer and you are good to go! The sales of these pods have grown manifold ever since it was introduced. Several surveys on customer satisfaction have shown that the secret ingredient behind Tide’s success is they have excelled in the skill of meeting and catering to the expectations and needs of their customers.
These pods not only brighten and soften your clothes but also completely remove stains from your favorite dresses; thereby, setting a new standard in the laundry industry – having Tide clean clothes.
While using the Tide PODS to wash your laundry, there are some important steps to keep in mind:
Step 1 – Always assess the load size
The loads can range from medium to extra-large with the washing machine being half full to reaching its full capacity. Never stuff your washer with enormous because the clothes should be able to tumble freely for a good wash, which otherwise defeats its purpose.
Step 2 – Make sure to have dry hands while using the pods
If you clean your hands and ensure that they are dry enough before touching the detergent pacs, it may stop them from dissolving before it will be used to wash the clothes. So, always make sure that the pod packages are not damaged or ruptured before picking them up.
Step 3 – Place the pods in the right spot for the ideal wash
These tiny pods can be nestled behind or at the bottom of the washer drum. This is not the case while using normal soap or detergent powders so make sure to keep in mind this simple little trick. How many of these pods are entirely based on the load size and the number of clothes you want to fit in one wash cycle. For the most ideal wash, Tide recommends tucking in two of them, however, you only one for small load sizes and use up to a maximum of three for bigger load sizes.
Step 4 – Place the clothes in the right position
Always remember to pile the clothes on top of the detergent pods to ensure that they reach the nook and cranny of the washing drum and clean it to the tee.
Step 5 – Choose the proper wash mode based on the nature of the garments
It may sometimes seem like a foreign language, but to provide proper care for your different kinds of garments you need to spend some time studying the symbols and instructions on the container. Just take a minute or two to read through the instructions to dry, bleach, wash and press your clothes. For instance, read the label instructions on your clothes if they prefer machines, hand wash, or dry clean only. This is because the temperature and process of washing can have a huge impact on delicate materials such as wool and cotton. When it is winter, try to make use of the warm settings and vice-versa during summertime.
These are the five simple steps you need to keep in mind while doing laundry. Follow the safety precautions mentioned in the back of the product.
Conclusion
Thus, one can easily say that Tide Pods are the greatest invention since sliced bread and electricity because they saved mothers and caretakers a lot of time and hassle. Make sure you follow the important tips and tricks mentioned above when you are using the pods for a quick and easy wash and remember to always close the box after use so that children do not get a hold of them or consume them by accident.
Happy and safe cleaning!
Why do the tide pods fail to dissolve completely when I wash?
This problem is often faced when you overload the machine with too many clothes. As a result, there is not enough space for the detergent inside the pod to reach all the clothes causing it to get stuck and form lumps.
Do I need to add fabric softeners after using the pods?
It is completely up to you, but is unnecessary. Tide pods are known to be a 3-in-1 solution because it is a detergent, softener and cleanser all in one.
How long can Tide pods be used?
Pods have a shelf life of around 15 months. If they cross this timeline, I highly recommend to chuck them and buy a new one.
