I’m a P&G Product junkie.
I love Cover Girl, Cascade, Downy, Tide, and Olay.
I love that there is a SERIOUS science behind their products.
Like, for example, did you know that Tide encapsulates chlorine? That’s why clothes in “city water” don’t fade as fast when you use Tide?
So when the good folks of P&G asked me to try out Tide Free Laundry Detergent – you knew I would say yes, right?
I will admit to our family not having any issues with dyes or perfumes. In fact if truth be told, I actually really LOVE having my laundry have those “just washed” scents out of the dryer.
I was pleasantly surprised with how much I didn’t miss the extra “smells”. My laundry still smelled “fresh” but not perfumery. And as I thought about it, there are certain clothes that probably shouldn’t have any extra scent attached to them.
And because the peeps at Proctor & Gamble are good partners of Kansas City Mamas, they gave me FREE Tide Free Laundry Detergent Coupon to give away to (5) readers.
Here’s How To Enter The Giveaway
(Remember, each comment is considered a entry – so leave a separate comment each time.)
Leave me a comment and tell me if you are a “scent” or “no scent” laundry person. (Ex. I love Downy and the way it makes my towels smell.)
Additional entry: Become a email subscriber to Kansas City Mamas. (I promise, I won’t spam you.) And then leave a comment and let me know.
Additional entry: Become in Like with Kansas City Mamas on Facebook. (We have fun, I promise.) And then leave a comment and let me know.
Contest will be open till end of day on September 12, 2012. Winner will be notified by email and has 48-hours to respond before another winner is chosen. Good Luck.
Disclosure: Proctor & Gamble provided Kansas City Mamas with the exact same prize pack as is being given away. However, the written remarks and my love for Proctor & Gamble products is completely my own. Want more information – check out my full disclosure statement.

olive says
Spouse has big time skin rashey problem. I know lots of people who have skin problems with tide. It must be a genetic thing because so many people in my family and my husbands family get the detergent rash. We use unscented. Is this a sample or the real full size bottle? Do they have samples of this free and clear tide in smaller sizes? I didn’t even know they made hypoallergenic tide. My dermatologist says tide is has made him rich, because so many people are allergic and they have no idea.
Christina says
