About Laundry Recommendations
For many people, scented laundry is equivalent to clean laundry when actually the absence of odor equates to clean in my book. I am much more concerned about not sniffing body odor or a stale greasy smell left in my clothes because the detergent didn't remove all the soil.
Tide Plus Febreze Freshness is one detergent that meets my criteria of clean by being a high-performance detergent and it will meet the needs of those who like a scented laundry experience. I gave Tide Plus Febreze a test on our regular laundry and on some specific stains like ketchup, grass, oil and mud. It performed well and removed all traces of the stains. And, the fragrance was long lasting.
Give it a try. You'll be pleased with the cleaning results and you may have just found your scent of clean.
