How it Works
The Cool Way to Clean.
Like regular Tide, Tide Coldwater contains surfactants. Surfactant molecules have two parts. One is ""water loving"" and the other is ""water hating."" The water-loving (hydrophilic) part breaks the surface tension of water. The water-hating (hydrophobic) part is attracted to oil and grease in soils, loosening and removing them from fabrics.
Tide Coldwater is specially designed with an increased amount of surfactant chemistry (as compared to regular Tide) that allows it to penetrate easily into fabrics. Tide Coldwater is also specially formulated with an increased amount of polymer technology (as compared to regular Tide) to suspend dirt particles to help prevent them from redepositing on fabrics, helping keep both your colours bright and your whites white.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use this product on my delicates?
Tide Coldwater can be used on any garments that are considered machine washable. Some garments can be more susceptible to colour loss and bleeding, and as with all detergents, it is recommended that a small hidden area of the garment be tested for colourfastness if there is concern.
Why can't I use the original product on a cold water setting?
You can use regular Tide in a cold water wash; however, Tide Coldwater has been specifically designed for use in cold water.
Is this product good for whites as well as colours?
The product can be used with both whites and colours; however, as with traditional laundry, sorting by colour is highly recommended prior to cleaning, as some garments may bleed even in cold water conditions.
Can I use Tide Coldwater for all my clothes?
Tide Coldwater can be used on all machine washable clothes.
Will Tide Coldwater work on heavily soiled clothes?

Do I need to add anything else (bleach/ laundry aids/ pre-treat) to get my clothes clean?
Depending on the level and type of soil, you may still have other laundry additives that you choose to add. For typical laundry, nothing else will be required for cleaning.
