Here's the latest version of that post (sorry for the length):
As I pointed out in the past, this budget version of Tide lacks enzymes. They are helpful for breaking down organic stains such as blood, chocolate and urine. So enzymes must be good, right? And one should avoid detergents without them, right? Not necessarily. Guess what else is organic: Natural fibers such as cotton, wool and silk. Like organic stains, these fibers are also made up of proteins and carbohydrates. Enzymes break apart proteins and carbs so some experts say that they can also degrade natural fibers. That's why detergents like Woolite do not have enzymes. It's something to consider when you buy your next bottle of laundry detergent. And it's why you shouldn't just dismiss Tide Simply as an inferior detergent.
---------
Here's my original post:
Simply is Tide's budget line. It lacks enzymes to break down tough organic stains, e.g. Amylase for carbohydrates, Protease (e.g. Subtilisin) for proteins. Their regular fragrance-free line, Free and Gentle, has "Subtilisin, Amylase Enzyme, Mannanase Enzyme." This only has detergents and solvents, but no enzymes. 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. This is evidenced by the fact that the measuring cap is identical to the one on the more expensive Free and Gentle bottle. 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. It works fine for me. It has even gotten rid of ink (with pre-treatment) since most inks are not organic. And consider this: hand soaps and cleaning sprays like Windex don't have enzymes either yet they work just fine.
I use budget detergent (with and without enzymes) 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.
