TIDE Powder Laundry Detergent Professional Plus Downey 20 Lbs / 320oz (225 Loads)

This version of Tide laundry detergent powder is powerful, if used correctly. I don't know why some folks think it leaves a residue or doesn't get the clothes clean. The detergent is highly concentrated and a little bit goes a long way (FYI - I used Google Lens to translate the Thai language). The container clearly states it's for top loader washing machines, not front loaders. Both versions of Tide Professional state the detergent should be dissolved in water first, preferably in warm water, then add your clothes. On my impeller washing machine, I use the Heavy Duty cycle because it soaks the clothes first, washes, then it ends with 2 rinse cycles. My clothes come out clean, they don't have any residue, and smell like April Fresh Downy upon completion of the wash cycle. Stains - I washed a heavily stained washcloth with makeup on it. I didn't think it would get clean. So I mixed a small amount of Tide with water to create a paste. I rubbed it into the washcloth, let is sit for 10 minutes, added it into the Heavy Duty option (soak, wash, two rinse cycles, and one spin) and all the makeup vanished. The detergent is highly concentrated and has a finer texture than the USA version of Tide. By the way, I have and use both versions of Tide Professional powder. I'm single and use a 2.0 cubic feet portable washing machine. I think this detergent will last through the end of this year or more. I originally ordered this for my son. He didn't use it because he has a front-loader machine and instructions say this is for top-loader washing machines.

This is now my go to and it smells amazing keeps clothes smelling better than others

Love the detergent

Always love tide powder. Used since I was a young child.

In order to not have residue, I would put it in my laundry in between loading, not on top. It does a good job of getting my clothes clean, but as for the residue, I do an extra rinse and spin for a thorough cleaning.
