Guide Review - Tide Simple Pleasures

Tide is arguably the most popular brand of laundry detergent on the market. It didn't seem likely to me that there was any real way to improve the detergent. I already have a favorite scent with the regular Tide, but decided to give the Tide Simple Pleasures a try.

The scents are a gentle combination of scents that I love.

Water Lily and Jasmine is a refreshing scent that smells fresh clean and inviting.

Rose and Violet smells sweet and romantic. The rose really makes a nice compliment to the violet smell. There was something about this scent on clothes that makes you feel beautiful.

Vanilla and Lavender is a relaxing combination. After washing the sheets and quilts with this scent, I found myself sleeping better than I had in weeks.

No matter what scents fits with your life, you'll enjoy the fact that Tide Simple Pleasures leaves a soft hint of scent that doesn't overpower clothing, but still retains enough fragrance to be gently noticeable. Add to that, the traditional cleaning power of Tide and you have a fantastic detergent.
