Do these pods replace both detergent and fabric softener?

Yes. Each pod contains Tide detergent and Downy softener, so you do not add a separate softener. Skip extra detergent too.

How many pods should I use per load?

Use one pod for a normal load. For large or heavily soiled loads, use two. Add the pod to the drum before the clothes, not to the dispenser.

Do they work in cold water?

They are designed to dissolve in all water temperatures, but cold, short cycles are where residue complaints come from. A normal or warm cycle dissolves them most reliably.

Are they safe for HE machines?

Yes. The pods are formulated for high-efficiency washers and are low-sudsing, so they work in both front-load and top-load HE machines.

How should I store the pods?

Keep them in the closed container in a dry place. Moisture makes pods stick together, and they must stay out of reach of children and pets.

Our take on the Tide Power PODS with Downy Liquid Laundry Detergent Pacs, April Fresh Scent

Tide Power PODS with Downy are single-dose laundry pacs that pair Tide's stain-fighting detergent with Downy fabric softener in one pod. The April Fresh scent is the draw for shoppers who like a noticeable, long-lasting fragrance on clothes. They suit people who want one-step laundry without measuring liquid or adding a separate softener. Against plain Tide PODS, they add softness and scent; against budget pods, they cost more but clean harder and dissolve reliably in most machines.
