When I was a child my Mom used Tide and would hang our clothes out on the clothesline. They would smell so wonderful and clean and always looked better than most of my friends.
When I grew up I used Tide for all my washing needs. Tide just somehow cleans out stains that a lot of other detergent don't.
From the years of use I found that I don't have to use nearly as much bleach on my white fabrics to get rid of the stains and I don't have the yellowing or grayish color either.
Tide has a great clean outdoor smell and not a lot of perfume to mask odors that you might not have gotten out. It removes them so you don't have to worry.
I have found that Tide gets out those tough grass stains that the kids get on their knees from rolling around out side. I just make a paste of tide and rub into the stain and place in the washer. Clean pants everytime.
If there happens to be an accident and someone gets a cut. Just place the garment in cold water at first then make a paste of the Tide and rub in to the spot, the wash as usual.
I am the queen of burn and serve so with those pots and baking dishes that have things baked on them, I discovered that if you place some Tide in the pot, heat to a boiling and let sit you can easily remove the crust that is left behind.
My Dad told me about another trick with Tide. We would get a little bug in our yard and the grass would start turning brown so Dad would mix a solution of Tide and water and spray on the spot. Would kill the bugs but not the grass.
Another good thing about Tide is it's phosphate free. Phosphate gets into ground water and contaminates it.
