Tide Plus A Touch of Downy Liquid Detergent merges Tide's cleaning surfactants with Downy fabric softener in one bottle. P&G owns both brands, and this line targets shoppers who want softness and freshness without a separate softener cycle.
The April Fresh scent is the anchor variant for the Plus Downy family on tide.ca. Related Plus lines add Febreze odour control, bleach alternative brightening, and cold-water formulas under the same parent grouping.
Tide Plus products sold in Canada are imported. P&G's Canadian manufacturing footprint no longer includes laundry detergent after the Brockville closure. P&G Canada continues to market Tide as a leading national brand.
Choose this liquid when you want a 2-in-1 clean-and-soft routine in a single pour.
