Tide HE VS Gain HE

| Just wanted to post some info here on the two detergents. First off...IM a big fan of tide, Ive used all the HE formulas availble to us. My recent experience is total care, in spite of the negative reviews on it, One thing I can say abot all tide HE products is they generate too many suds in a FL. Due to the price of them, I decided to switch to Gain HE. Currently, it is only availble in one scent. I bought it, used it today, first off, I noticed a HUGE difference in the amount of suds it creates, next to none!I was shocked. Everything I have washed so far came out just as clean as if I used tide. It rinsed very well, to the point, I didnt have to add the extra rinse on my next load of clothes. I used the min line on the measuring cup which looks like two tablespoons, which is less than what tide's min amount is. I got super clean clothes, used less detergent, equal super clean clothes, and bout the same amount for about 6 dollars less a bottle. I dont think I will be going back and supporting tide just for the name |

| I've been using Gain HE powder for some while, although I also have a box of Tide HE that I use primarily on whites. I can often find Gain @ $5 for a 40-load box, while Tide is typically $8+ for the equivalent size. Tide does seem to suds a little more, but my Calypso rinses very well (5 rinses is standard on the Normal cycle) so it's not a problem. |

| Hey dadoes! Glad you got and like a calypso! I remember those machines, always wanted one too! Now that I see how they work on youtube, I sure wish I had one! Very cool indeed, Be great if the oasis, cabrio, and bravos had teh recirculation waterfall in them! Any issues with it? If I find one used at a good price, Im buying it as a back up to my FL |

| Tide and Gain are both made by Proctor and Gamble. I switch back and forth between Tide HE and Gain HE. When I was on soften well water, I would cut way back on the amount that I would use (talking liquid versions here). Now, I don't notice any real suds difference between the two ( have city water here now medium in hardness). I do find that Gain HE tends to be around $3 less than Tide HE in my area. However, there are usually sales every couple of weeks, so between the two, I but what's on sale at the lowest price (and use a coupon on top). |

| One of the first HE detergents I used in my FL was Gain HE liquid and I found that it created HUGE amounts of suds. Tide HE liquid produced much less I found. I now use Gain HE powder and it is great-very few suds and good cleaning ability. I also use Tide HE with colorclean bleach liquid for our dress clothes and Dreft HE liquid for our sheets because I love the scent. All P&G detergents and they all work well IMHO. Tracey |
