Coldwater Clean

Tide Plus Coldwater Clean is formulated so households can wash effectively in cold water. P&G promotes cold washing on tide.ca as a way to cut energy use while still removing everyday soils.

This Plus variant shares the Tide Plus family positioning with Downy and Febreze lines, but focuses on low-temperature performance rather than added softness or odour tech. Use the recommended cap level for your load size and machine type.

Tide sold in Canada is imported. P&G's Canadian plants no longer produce laundry detergent after Brockville closed. P&G Canada still distributes Tide nationwide.

Choose Coldwater Clean if you routinely wash on cold and want a Plus-tier formula tuned for that habit.
