How it Works
HE washing machines use less water than a regular top-loading washing machine. However, you still have the same amount of dirty laundry. And as a result, there is a much higher concentration of soil to the amount of water in the HE washing machine. Due to this increased soil concentration, 2X Ultra Tide HE with a touch of Downy is specially formulated with ingredients that suspend this higher level of soil, helping to prevent it from redepositing on clothes during the wash cycle.
Also, HE washing machines are higher-sudsing machines, so 2X Ultra Tide HE with a touch of Downy is a low-suds formula. This allows you to use a full dose of 2X Ultra Tide HE with a touch of Downy without having to worry about over-sudsing in your machine (which can be damaging).
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use regular detergent in my HE machine?
Using traditional detergent in an HE washing machine can cause excess suds. Excess suds could lead to washer problems, and just using a smaller dose of regular detergent won’t solve the problem. According to the Soap and Detergent Association (SDA), HE detergents are the "only choice" for HE washers. Tide® HE and your HE washer work hand-in-hand to get you the results you expect. Using the wrong formula of detergent in your high efficiency washer means you may not get the cleaning results you've come to expect from Tide.
Does the Tide® HE 2X Concentrated Liquid clean as well as regular HE?
Both clean great. Tide HE 2X Concentrated Liquid is 2X concentrated so a small cap of Tide® HE 2X Concentrated gives you the same great results you have come to expect from Tide HE.
How can Tide® HE 2X Concentrated Liquid clean as well as before with less product?
We've removed ingredients — like water — so there are more active ingredients in each drop of detergent than before.
Does Tide® HE 2X Concentrated Liquid do as many loads as regular Tide HE?
Yes, a 2.95L bottle of 2X Ultra Tide does the same number of loads as the 5.91L bottle of nonconcentrated Tide.
Do I need to dilute 2x Ultra Tide HE with a touch of Downy before I use it?
There is no need to dilute 2x Ultra Tide HE with a touch of Downy prior to use. As noted in the usage instructions on the packaging, fill the cap of Tide HE 2X Concentrated Liquid to the appropriate line and pour it in just like you would with a regular HE detergent.
Will the 2X concentration of 2x Ultra Tide HE with a touch of Downy damage my clothing?
2X Ultra Tide HE with a touch of Downy is designed to provide the same level of care for your clothing that you expect from nonconcentrated Tide HE with a touch of Downy.
Where can I buy 2x Ultra Tide HE with a touch of Downy?
2x Ultra Tide HE with a touch of Downy has limited availability, but can be found in select retail establishments around the country.
