I've been doing laundry FOREVER -- at least since I moved into a dorm -- and I have tried different detergents over the decades, and I have to say that none of them worked better than Tide. It gets out dirt and most stains very well, although I do occasionally supplement with Shout on the really nasty stuff, like chocolate, blood, and grease.

But that's my opinion and because it's not infallible, I took a look at what Consumer Reports had to say. Their conclusions are pretty much in line with my own. They did find one product that cleaned better (I've never even heard of it), but it was nearly twice as expensive and as a consequence I'm not inclined to seek it out wherever it might be hiding.

Besides Tide's cleaning power, I find that I also like that it does not have NPEs (Nonylphenol ethoxylates). NPEs are toxic to aquatic plants and animals. A fact even the EPA has had to recognize.

Another thing I like is that Tide doesn't fade the color of our clothes: This was a feature I didn't even recognize until I visited my friend this summer and noticed that even after one wash, with whatever bargain brand she was using, our shirts were noticeable faded and fuzzed.

As to why scent-free: I started using the low-suds version when we had to buy a new washer and decided to go 'green' in our selection. I soon after went scent-free when I discovered how many scents (lets face it scents are chemicals) were in our daily environment, and how they really weren't good for us. Particularly, those of us with allergies. The laundry seems to get as clean as with the scented variety, and the clothes come out smelling just wet.

Four Stars. Been doing laundry for decades and Tide seems to clean better than any other product I've tried. The scentless formula is exactly that. Other than the fact the stains are gone, I can't tell that the laundry is clean: it doesn't have a perfumed smell.

I am completely Happy about buying this Tide Fragrance Free from Amazon.com. The FREE shipping was a Plus and I used a gift card to purchase my products. The shipping was very fast, I had my Tide within 3 days after hitting the complete order on-line. My local stores carry Tide but not The Fragrance FREE Dermatology tested HE Tide. I found out people USE way to much Liquid soap in their NEW HE Front loading Washing Machines. Their clothes smelled like liquid soap after the clothes were dryed. The new machines use very little water and it is hard to get used to the fact of how much litle HE (High Energy Efficent) laundry Detergent is needed. USE the Manufactures measurements, increasing the amount will not help your clothes get any cleaner. Wasting soap and your clothes will not rinse properly maybe leaving your clothes with a slight smell and funny feel. HE Laundry Detergent is a special product similar to Dry Cleaning products, they permeate the clothes with proper water levels and lift the dirt away. Saving your clothes from harsh detergents and making your clothes more Bright and NOT tearing your fabric down. Trust me, why do YOU spend good money on body fragrance and perfumes not only to SMELL like laundry Detergent on your clothes? This liquid soap will prevent this in-case you forget and use way to much. Most HE machines offer Double-Rinse to help people rinse all the detergent away and eliminate the odor. Not needed if proper amount of liquid detergent is used and trust me, MORE is NOT Better inusing this product!

I switched to this detergent when my baby boy was born. I looked everywhere and Amazon's price with the Subscribe and Save feature was unbeatable. It has worked great thus far removing stains and leaving clothes clean WITHOUT any perfumes and odors or smells after washing. My Baby's skin seems to agree that this detergent is great as no reactions have occurred, thank God. If you have a high efficiency washer, a new baby or skin sensitivity problems, you might want to try this detergent. It has worked great for me and I recommend it.

Not sure why but we have had problems with other free and clears with the kids skin but the Tide does not break out their skin. this auto replenish is going to get out of hand for me..when will Amazon start selling groceries!?!?!?!

I discovered Tide HE Free at a local superstore, and fell in love with its perfectly scentless clean for all of my family's clothes (I do an extra rinse for every load). However, I was having trouble finding it in stock locally, so when I discovered that I could Subscribe and Save through Amazon, I was elated. I now have an infant son who has not had any skin reactions, and my family tends to have sensitive skin.

I have a top-loading Maytag HE washer manufactured in the last 3-5 years. This detergent takes out baby soil of all types with no trouble, and it is gentle. My baby clothes, though washed almost daily, are still fresh, clean, and colorful.

NOTE: This is a heavy/awkward item for hauling up stairs - all 4 bottles weigh nearly 35 lbs and come in a large box.

We bought the new HE (high efficiency) washerfrom Whirlpool and had to get the correct detergent from Tide. I chose the non-perfumed product but maybe the perfumed version "smells" cleaner. Product is just fine.

I saw this great deal and decided to buy it! It came to my house super fast and I got free shipping for them! Such a great deal! Thanks amazon!

I just want it cleaned, and not full of some smelly chemicals. This fits the bill, but could be less expensive. Dont know how they can ship that heavy package for free though. I am impressed

I love the fact that there is no scent. that way I can choose which fabric softener scent I want my fabrics to smell like. My dogs also love the fact that they don't have to lay on flowers. Its just plain blanket!

I am so happy to find Tide Free & Gentle HE through AMZN's subscribe & save program; not only does it save me money, it saves me the hassle of lugging these home from the local store.
