Tide Original HE Powder Laundry Detergent

Tide Original HE Powder Laundry Detergent is the box-format option for shoppers who prefer powder over liquid. P&G sells it on tide.ca for HE top-load washers that work best with low-suds powder formulas.

Original scent delivers the classic Tide fragrance profile in a scoop-dosed format. Store the box dry and measure according to load size instructions.

Powder Tide is not manufactured in Canada. P&G closed Brockville's laundry lines in 2020. Canadian inventory is imported.
