Tide Free and Gentle HE Turbo Laundry Detergent
HE Turbo Powder
Tide Free and Gentle HE Turbo Laundry Detergent is the powder version of Tide's sensitive-skin line. Sold on tide.ca under the powder category, it targets high-efficiency top-load washers that use HE Turbo Clean low-suds formulas.
The powder shares the same positioning as the liquid Free and Gentle: no added dyes or perfumes, with Tide cleaning agents for everyday laundry. Powder can appeal to shoppers who prefer a box over a jug, or who dose by scoop for consistent loads in HE machines.
Canadian shoppers should know this is not a domestic product. P&G no longer manufactures laundry detergent in Canada after closing its Brockville plant. Tide Free and Gentle powder is imported and distributed through P&G Canada's retail network.
For sensitive-skin households that want a box format, this variant pairs with the Free and Gentle liquid under the same product family.
