This is the much weaker version. It test worse than regular purex.

Not worth it.
Quote from CreditGuy View quoted comment :
The Free and Gentle is the full strength Tide with no dyes or fragrances. Tide Simply is the cheap version of detergent under the Tide name and that is made to compete with the budget brands of detergent, such as Arm and Hammer.

Proctor and Gambles marketing department is blurring the difference so that the casual observer doesn't notice. They are selling a cheaper version of detergent at a cheaper price but making you think you are getting the better version of detergent. And corporations wonder why there is consumer backlash against their tactics.
Quote from WatsYourDeal View quoted comment :
Tide 'Simply' series is a value sub-brand of Tide detergents. Some people say it's watered down and doesn't perform as well as the original Tide. They come in Yellow containers which differentiate them visually from the original (Orange containers).

Tide Free and Gentle is the non-fragrant, no-dye version of Tide original for people who avoid those. These came in White containers.

The confusion here is because Tide 'Simply' (the value sub-brand) also now has a no-dye, no-fragrance version they call 'Simply and Free' and sneakily also comes in a white container. But the 'simply' term in the name as well as the lesser price makes it clear that this is indeed a lesser-performing product. (For example, the Yellow container Tide Simply is also on sale for the same price)

Yeah, hate P&G for their intentionally confusing packaging to make you believe that you're getting the premium product while in fact you're not.
Thanks y'all for clearing that up. Sounds pretty shady of P&G.

I use Tide Free and Gentle now. What's the difference between that and this Simply and Free version? I couldn't find a clear answer on Google.
The Simply is their budget line. It lacks enzymes to break down tough organic stains, e.g. Amylase for carbohydrates, Protease for proteins. In this case, Free and Gentle has "Subtilisin, Amylase Enzyme, Mannanase Enzyme." I always look at the ingredients before buying a new detergent. On Amazon, the list is usually in the description or you can just enlarge the images to read the label.

It's not "watered down" as some claim. While Simply lacks enzymes, it does have detergents and solvents to handle those stains, albeit less effectively. That's fine for most people since most people don't have to deal with blood, grass, wine and chocolate stains on a regular basis.

I use budget detergent for my regular wash but use the premium stuff (and/or pretreaters) when I have especially dirty and smelly clothes. In summary, this is fine for most people if you want to save a few bucks. But if you have a lot of organic stains all the time, use something with enzymes. For example, if you have kids who are constantly spilling their food or grandma who no longer wants to go to bathroom like regular people.

I believe the difference is this is fragrance free
No, both lines are fragrance free. The Simply line is cheaper because it doesn't have enzymes for tough organic stains.

Precisely. Not to say that this may not work for someone but you're paying for a lot more water in these than the usual Tide bottles.
No, that's false. The Simply line is not "watered down." The difference is that this budget line lacks enzymes to dissolve tough organic stains.

You can prove that they are equally concentrated because you use the same amount per load (the small amount of added enzymes doesn't change the volume). As an extreme example of this concept, compare Tide Free and Gentle with their top-of-the-line Heavy Duty 10x. You actually have to use more of the Heavy Duty per load because of all the extra cleaning ingredients it has. That's why the Heavy Duty measuring cap is larger with markings to match. But you can't argue that the Heavy Duty is less concentrated or watered down.

Does this detergent "expire"? I ask because I purchased three (3) A&H containers of similar size about 6 months ago and still haven't finished the first one! At this rate, it will take about 18 months to use them up ...
Generally speaking, laundry detergent doesn't expire. In fact, the opposite often happens. It will get more potent. That's because it gets more concentrated due to evaporation over time. I found a 10yo bottle of detergent that thickened to a gel. I reconstituted it with boiling water and it cleaned just fine.

It's not shady. P&G used fewer ingredients in their Simply line and lowered the price accordingly. Nothing deceptive about that. Nor do they claim that every detergent line is equally effective. The ingredients are listed for everyone to see. In fact, they're listed on Amazon. I don't see any dishonesty.

Yes it is shady. There's a reason the word Tide is full size and simply is very small.

They are selling a product that should be dollar store branded for a premium price by adding a premium name to it.

This is a garbage product and only reason it sells is they slap the word "Tide" to it in large letters.

Weird I'm having this item delivered to Minnesota so I loaded my Amazon account with a $200 Gift Card to purchase this item but only lets me pay the item total of $27.50 like most people here, but the REGULATORY FEE has to be paid with a credit card? Why? it doesn't want to take it from Amazon Gift-card balance, is this a FEE a new thing or what?

unless your rolling around in mud for hours, this is more than sufficient to clean your clothes. The machine does the washing, not the soap.

Oh puh-leeze.

The word "simply" is the about same size as "free and clear" on the other version.

Would you be happy if P&G labeled it in giant letters:

**NOT** Tide
DO NOT BUY!!
--if you do buy you're an idiot--

That is a good chart of detergent effectiveness though, I'll give you that.
