Scents & Sizes
How it Works
Like regular Tide, Ultra Tide Free & Gentle 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.
Detergents usually contain more than one type of surfactant to remove certain types of soils and clean different types of fabrics. Other ingredients in laundry detergent can include:
1. fluorescent whitening agents (to help maintain whiteness or brightness)
2. enzymes (to help break down complex soils such as blood and grass)
Most detergents also contain dyes and perfumes. Ultra Tide Free & Gentle powder laundry detergent does not.
