Today we’re talking laundry! Let’s wash the dirty laundry here today!!
Let me ask you something: when do you feel like you have the most laundry? After a vacation? When the kids come back from sport’s practice? For me, it’s after my business trips! I see myself with an empty suitcase and full load, sometimes two loads of wash!!!
Since I travel a lot, this is an ongoing concern for me!
I also have to take care of my clothes, because who can afford to wear it only once, right? Who wants to ruin that gorgeous pair of white jeans?
After many laundry disasters like clothes shrunk and my favorite designer jeans coming out all stained, I learned that there is a better way to take care of my clothes and Tide is my #1 tool to accomplish that! Look at my brand new damaged Jeans? That was before Tide® PODS™ Plus Downy®, of course!!
So after many business trips, I developed a “system” and today, I want to share it with you:
1. I use 2x the Tide® PODS™ Plus Downy® for overwhelming loads, yes 2x, to ensure everything comes out clean and fresh!
2. The PODS go in BEFORE the clothes, this step is so important!
3. Then I select the heavy duty cycle for my after trip loads.
4. I separate dresses from jeans and other more durable fabrics
5. Dark and bright colors are washed together as well
6. The water temperature and cycle also need to match the type of clothes you are washing: darks with cold water and whites with hot.
To enjoy great cleaning results, use 4-in-1 laundry pacs to clean, brighten, fight stains and protect your clothes every time you do laundry.
Here is why I love Tide PODS® Plus Downy laundry detergent:
- It is the first detergent pac that helps transform the washing machine into a safe place that cleans, conditions and protects the clothing you love.
- It works with both high efficiency (HE) and standard washing machines.
- Its HE Turbo technology provides 6x the cleaning power in half the time*.
*stain removal of 1 Tide PODS® pac vs. 6 doses of leading bargain brand liquid detergent, base variant - Cleans and conditions in 1 step
- Protects clothes from damage in the wash
- Dissolves in all temperatures
I hope my tips help you next time your children come back from sports’ practice, you go on vacation or on a business trip! What is YOUR double laundry trouble??
Can’t wait to hear your thoughts, as usual, give us a Trendy Shout!
PS – Remember to Keep all cleaning material out of reach of the children!!

You are so right. I will never, I mean never forget when my mother in law thought she was helping with laundry after the birth of my son. She washed 4 entire outfits that were clearly marked dry clean only– ruined.

I love those cute little pods! I have 3 children under 5, and they messes they get into-MY goodness! At least once a week they come home from preschool with paint all over their clothes & hair. It’s washable, but still… I’ll have to try these little cuties on their clothes.

I loves Pods! I started using it last month and I’m glad I did! Amazing!!
Dawn McAlexander
I have wanted to try the Tide Pods for some time. Unfortunately, my husband has some allergy issues with Tide, so we haven’t tried them. I think Tide is the best detergent out there, though.
Stephanie Jeannot
Tide is actually my favorite detergent to use. Makes me excited about doing laundry.
Tania
We love our Tide pods! They are so easy to use and get out our tough stains!
Paula Atwell
Haven’t tried pods in my washing machine. Definitely worth a try. We have an HD machine but use a liquid.

Pods are the way to go. All the grease goes away asap

I love laundry pods, they make it so much easier to do laundry. It’s so important to find a detergent that keeps your clothes clean, especially when you stain something that you love!

I just picked up some of these Tide Pods today. I am excited to see the results this weekend.
Sherry
My double laundry trouble is grease stains. I swear both my husband and son get greasy spots on their clothing all the time. I love using Tide Pods.
Kristi
Love the pods… makes it easier for kids and me too! No measuring and spilling, just drop it in before the laundry
Danielle
I love Tide and sometimes use two pods in a single load, myself. It depends on how much I’m putting into the washer. I love that they actually dissolve, too. I’ve had my fair share of laundry pods that don’t fully dissolve and I end up having to wash the load again. It’s such a waste of water, energy and time.
Kathy
I love these pods. They are so nice to have. Just have to be careful with kids around. My girls know better thankfully. I think it’s great that they have pods now though because they are less messy.

Uniforms for school are our big challenge! We love Tide Pods – makes life a lot easier.

I need to try these pods. I agree, after trip clothes definitely need a heavy duty wash!
Rebecca Bryant
What to come do my laundry. It is very important to make sure you follow washing instruction on your clothing.

I need to pick up some Tide PODS® Plus Downy laundry detergent. I have two teenagers that sure know how to get their clothes dirty.
Liz Mays
I really like that these pods simplify doing laundry so much. They’re an important part of our daily laundry routine!
Connie
I love Tide. It has always been my favorite laundry soap.
Melissa
I only wash in cold so it is great that Tide Pods work well in cold. It is great that the fabric soften is put right in so you don’t have to add and measure.
Reesa Lewandowski
Laundry is NEVER ending in our house! I am still trying to catch back up from our trip last week. I only use pods!
Stacie @ Divine Lifestyle
I need these in my life! I am super busy and I HATE laundry. These would help make laundry not be so awful.
Ashley
Love love love pods! I often use both hot and cold water to wash my clothes. So it’s great to have a product that works with both temperatures.
