I don’t even know where to start.  I’ve always been a fan of Tide.  I’ve tried every other detergent and have felt that it was one of the absolute best products on the market.  I love that they have coupons available and find it reasonably priced, and I’m a frugal grocery shopper.

I was introduced to Tide Coldwater a few weeks ago and was very excited to test it out.  My favorite thing to wash is my sheets.  There is nothing better than fresh sheets out of the dryer.  I always washed my clothes on cold anyway but I wasn’t sure if they were getting the right kind of clean.  I honestly don’t know much about laundry.  I don’t separate colors and whites and figure if I wash them on cold, they hopefully won’t shrink.

I was looking at the Tide.com website and they really have great information.  Rather than me trying to relay the proper details with the potential of messing it up, I’m going to give you a product overview from their site-

Reluctant to turn off the heat in your laundry routine? What if you knew, 80% of energy used in washing a family’s clothes comes from the energy needed to heat the water. Tide Coldwater provides a cool way to wash in cold and still experience a superior clean.

Despite what your mother told you, washing your clothes in hot water is NOT the only way to get them clean—Tide Coldwater allows you to make the small change to cold water washing with energy savings in mind.  It’s specially designed formula removes stains better in cold water than the next leading regular detergent in warm water.

As energy bills rise this winter, consumers will be looking for ways to cut costs around the home.  Using Tide Coldwater and washing in cold on a consistent basis saves money and energy without sacrificing performance. Now, NEW Tide Coldwater HE will help save even more when used with “high efficiency” washers:

• Families can do 3 washes in cold for the same energy of one wash in hot.

• They’ll save up to 50% of energy in every load by switching to cold with Tide Coldwater HE.

Especially in these economic times, where people are struggling and trying to cut corners, it’s great to know we can help the environment and save both money and energy by simply switching to this one product.  Paired with the awesome Bounce bar to put in the dryer (LOVE IT), my clothes and sheets come out smelling to fresh and clean.  I love climbing in bed with warm, freshly cleaned sheets and wrapping myself in the blankets.  Ahhh…
