You can use regular Tide in a cold water wash; however, Tide Coldwater has been specifically designed for use in cold water.

Tide Coldwater can be used on all machine washable clothes.

The product can be used with both whites and colors; however, as with traditional laundry, sorting by color is highly recommended prior to cleaning, as some garments may bleed even in cold water conditions.

Tide Coldwater can be used on any garments that are considered machine washable. Some garments can be more susceptible to color loss and bleeding, and as with all detergents, it is recommended that a small hidden area of the garment be tested for colorfastness if there is concern.

Tide Coldwater will work great on heavily soiled clothes.
