Are Tide PODS Ultra OXI better than regular Tide PODS?

Ultra OXI adds oxygen-powered stain and odor fighting on top of the standard pod formula. It is the better pick for set-in stains and smelly laundry; Original is fine for everyday loads.

Do they work in cold water?

Yes. The multi-chamber film is designed to dissolve in hot and cold water, though very short cold cycles can leave residue.

Are they safe for HE washing machines?

Yes. The low-suds Smart Suds formula works in both HE and standard washers.

How many pods should I use per load?

Use one pod for a normal load and two for large or heavily soiled loads. Do not unwrap the pod.

Can I use them for hand washing or pretreating?

No. They are designed for machine washing only; for spot pretreating, use a liquid or spray stain remover.

A tub of 32 single-dose pacs. Each pac combines detergent, stain remover, color protector and pre-treaters.

Our take on the Tide PODS Laundry Detergent Soap Pacs, Ultra OXI

Tide PODS Ultra OXI are single-dose laundry pacs that combine detergent, stain remover, color protection and built-in pre-treaters in one pod. They are Tide's strongest stain-fighting pod line, aimed at set-in stains and lingering odors rather than everyday light washing. Against Tide's Original and Free & Gentle pods, Ultra OXI adds oxygen-powered stain and odor fighting, while staying compatible with both HE and standard machines. With a 4.8 average across more than 11,500 ratings, owners mostly report clean, fresh laundry and few complaints beyond pods occasionally not dissolving fully in cold, short cycles.
