Reviews of Tide Coldwater
Sneaky marketing ploy by Tide
Tide Coldwater is not biodegradeable nor is it petrochemical free. It is just another clever corporate attempt to green wash a product by responding to customer research. People say they want to save money on washing clothes and they are willing to use cold water. So, Tide responds by promoting a product that is supposedly designed for washing in cold water.
Guess what? It's bogus. Just wash your clothes in cold water anyway and buy biodegradable soap that doesn't have petrochemicals in it. It makes your clothes last longer and will save you money.
If you really want to save money -- hang stuff up to dry. It might be difficult if you live in a place with no yard, but you'd be surprised how many things you can put on hangers and leave on the shower bar when you go to work in the morning. In the winter, rain and a lack of light make it difficult for me to put stuff out on the line so I hang up sheets over open doors (I've already cleaned them off), all pants, tshirts, dresses, socks and underwear go on hangers, leaving only things like towels and blankets to go in the dryer.
Finally - don't run a load of clothes in the washer unless you have a full load, but don't over pack it or stuff won't get clean and you'll waste water and energy if you have to run it again to get out undissolved chunks of soap.

Cold Water Wash
I have been using this laundry detergent for several weeks now and my laundry appears as clean as ever. I know it is not the greenest detergent I could use, but I am saving money and electricity and the fuel used to create that electricity.
