So on a beauty channel, here I present to you, my readers a review on the Tide Pods in Spring Meadow**. I'm very skeptical when it comes to multiple purpose 3 in 1 types of products. So I wanted to break down if these pods not only work as well as they claim, and if they are worth the money value, cause hey, let's face it detergent ain't cheap.
I followed the directions on the packet, first off these little jellies feel very weird because they aren't very sturdy. One wrong drop or paper cut and I feel like these could leak easily. Plus I feel like if I left these in a damp(isn) area, these would melt down.
I threw one in with my comforter and found that a few makeup stains remained (makeup had spilled on my comforter), and the scent was EXTREMELY light. I threw the blanket back in the wash with my regular detergent, stain stick and fabric softener, and found the stains gone.
Let's break down the cost of these little jelly caps and compare them to the price with old school products:

So the total for all of these above products comes to : 18.42

While the pods look like they come out to be about 3 bucks less, let me put it in retrospect. If you have a large load of laundry i.e. linens or a large load of darks (like I always seem to have) you need to throw in 2 packs. Most of my laundry, let's say 2/3s is large loads, so in theory I would have to use two packs instead of one. So it just doesn't add up!
The individual products are more concentrated and seem to work better. They cleaned my blanket even on the second wash.
Final Verdict: If you have laundry that only needs a quick wash with no stains and is a very small load (maybe using a laundromat?) you can purchase these because yes they are lighter in weight than combined previous products. But for real stain fighting, dirt and grim blasting, ya can't get away from using three separate ingredients plus a little extra time to get the best clean.
So what do you guys think?
