To use Tide PODS effectively, follow these steps:

1. Place the Tide POD directly into the empty washer drum before adding any clothes. This ensures the pod dissolves completely in water.
2. Add your laundry on top of the pod. Avoid overstuffing the drum so the pod can dissolve properly and water can circulate well.
3. Select the appropriate wash cycle for your clothes and start the machine. Tide PODS work well in any water temperature, including cold.
4. Do not put the pod in the detergent drawer unless it’s specifically designed for pods.
5. After using a pod, securely close the container and store it in a cool, dry place away from children and pets.

For load sizes, use one pod for small loads, two for standard loads, and three for large loads for the best cleaning results. Tide PODS combine detergent, stain remover, and brightener in one pre-measured dose making laundry simple and mess-free.
