The best solutions to help remove odor from your laundry using Tide and Downy together
Laundry day just got better! If you're struggling with stubborn odors, Tide and Downy have the perfect solutions to keep your clothes fresh and clean. Let's explore how Tide Oxi Pods and Downy Rinse can make a significant difference.
The Best Detergent for Removing Odor
For tackling tough odors, using a heavy-duty detergent is key. Tide Oxi Pods are designed to break down protein-based body soils, effectively working on odors at higher pH levels. Pairing Tide with Downy Rinse enhances this effect by lowering the pH at the end of the cycle, breaking down stuck-in residues so they can be washed away.
- • Odor Removal: Tide Oxi Pods and Downy Rinse complement each other perfectly, addressing residues that cause persistent odors. For more details, check out Tide’s How To Guide to Remove Odors.
Cold vs. Hot Wash: Does It Matter?
Historically, detergents worked best in hot water. However, today's advanced formulas, like those in Tide, are optimized for cold washes, saving you money and reducing energy use. Even the hot water we use now is cooler than before, making cold washes a smart choice for great cleaning.
- • Energy Savings: Washing in cold water with Tide helps maintain effective cleaning performance while being eco-friendly. For more insights, visit Tide laundry products that work on odor.
The Power of Downy Rinse
If your clothes are super smelly or you want even cleaner clothes, try adding Downy Rinse to you laundry routine instead of fabric softener. It’s more effective than vinegar at removing odors and leaves no lingering smell. A quarter cup of Downy Rinse equals the effect of five times the amount of vinegar.

Choosing the Right Tide Product
Selecting the right Tide product can make all the difference. For body soils, Tide Hygienic Clean Power PODs is your go-to, while Tide Oxi Boost Power Pods are ideal for your stain removal needs. Both deliver trusted results for everyday needs.
