Before you write, have the knowledge!
By BoogersInWhite
This product, Tide HE 2x Concentrated Liquid Detergent with Bleach Alternative, Original Scent, is one of the best detergents on the market.Yes, it is more expensive than other brands, but you can't beat it for getting out stains. If you have spot stains, just pour a little directly on the stain and throw it in the washer.An alternate (at a lower cost) that works pretty well is GAIN HE, and can be found at Amazon:http://www.amazon.com/Concentrated-Liquid-Detergent-Original-Bottle/dp/B000O3FEOU/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=hpc&qid=1205015890&sr=8-1--but it's no Tide HE.Tide HE leaves behind a wonderful fresh scent, which I describe as a combination of lemon, fresh air and good old soap.Combined with it's "sister" product, Downy Ultra, you get the freshest smelling laundry around.Now, about those other ratings. Why would you rate a product one star (and make others think it is an inferior product) if you made the mistake of ordering the wrong product?As pointed out by a previous reviewer, the HE (high efficiency) detergent formulas are always more expensive than other detergents. HE is designed for washers that load in the front and that use VERY little water--and guess what(?!)--you need a detergent that has a totally different formulation than that for standard, water-guzzling washers. In other words, it won't work in your regular washer.I do recommend that if you can, when it comes time to replace your old washer that you try an HE front loader. Your clothes will never be cleaner and you will be saving water--great for your water bill, and the environment!

Always read the description.
By S. Sharp
Judging from the problems people are complaining about, it seems many of the reviews above are comparing this to standard detergent. This is special High Efficiency (HE) detergent for side loading washers. It's more expensive then standard detergent. I see one of these bottles in the store for about 25 bucks. It's designed to have less suds and be used in with lower soap to water ratio, which is most likely why one of the reviewers above was having issues with smelly laundry. Side loading washers used 30-40 percent less water, so the water in those will be a lot more soapy than if used in a top loader. Always read the descriptions when shopping online, and if you don't know what 'HE' stands for, ask the internet. I've been using this detergent for a while now, does the job, the dirtiest of work towels always come out clean and fresh smelling. This four pack will last me about a year and for the price, you can beat it.

Love my Tide w/bleach and HE washing machine!
By P. Draper
I've been using Tide with bleach for years and years. I've tried other detergents, and this one gets our clothes the cleanest, keeps our whites whitest and gets most stains out. My family has really tested it too! My kids played softball, baseball and high school football all of which really tested the stain and "smell" factors. Now, I have a baby granddaughter who is testing the baby stain capabilities. Again, Tide with bleach is a winner! To be fair, sometimes I do have to use a pretreatment on a really tough stain (mustard, grape juice, etc.) and I do have to take extra steps with mildewed towels, but overall this is a great product.It's really no wonder that Consumer Reports rated this highest out of the 11 HE detergents they tested (for conventional washers, out of 24 tested, Tide 2X Ultra Concentrated With a Touch of Downy liquid, Tide 2X Ultra Concentrated for Cold Water liquid and Tide With Bleach With Color Clean ranked 1st, 2nd and 3rd respectively).Now, about my HE washer and dryer . . . if you need to replace your top loader, consider getting a HE washer and dryer. I have seen a HUGE drop in both my electrical and water bills. I'm saving more than $200 a month.
