First of all, please do not attempt to eat, taste, open or play with these laundry pods. Be extra careful in storing and handling these especially if you have young kids or curious pets in your household. These laundry pods are only to be used for LAUNDRY- nothing else.
So now that I’ve put that aside, I’ll continue with my review. Since we’ve moved in to our home 2 years ago, I’ve been doing our laundry most of the time. It was a surprise to me how I actually look forward to laundry days. I used to just send our dirty clothes to my parents’ house and pick it up when it’s already clean, dry and folded (yes, we were lucky like that!). We were still living in a condo in BGC then and honestly, doing the laundry (and having good smelling, super clean clothes) is almost close to impossible. Now that we have our own washing machine – an Electrolux front load washer- I actually look forward to doing the laundry. I could just stare on the clothes inside the washer while it spins and I swear, it can send me to a trance! Okay I’m digressing here.
Now, going back – my husband’s shirts and tops are majority white – he prefers it because he feels more presko with cotton whites. It’s very hard to maintain though – so I’m always in the lookout for products that will help keep our clothes looking fresh and smelling fresh. Recently, I’ve stumbled upon Tide Brights + Whites Rescue In-wash laundry boosterwhile I was doing the grocery at Rustan’s Marketplace and I got curious so I added it to my cart right away!
These pods are really very tempting to play with and pop – but please don’t!
One pack is a bit pricey – Php 395 for a pack of 9 pods – so I just bought one pack at that time just to try at home. Take note that the pods do not intend to replace your detergent or fabric conditioner – it’s just an add-on to make your laundry whiter and brighter. These laundry boosters can be used with any type of washing machine so I didn’t need to worry about washer compatibility. I immediately tried and used one pod on the next batch of white clothes, and I think it works! Our whites look brighter, some old stains were also less visible. Ever since I bought the laundry booster, I’d throw in one pod to my laundry batch (whites). I did not want to run out of these pods so I had to buy another pack on our next supermarket trip.
Here are some more photos of our white clothes after doing today’s laundry
The clothes on the photo are relatively old clothes some are pambahay, but they don’t look dull at all now. The clothes also smell good when I use the booster (no need to use a lot of fab con) and I think the pods prevent the musty smell (amoy kulob) when there is not enough sunshine to fully dry our laundry.
I hope I can find similar laundry booster for colored clothes!
Do you have laundry products that works wonders for you? Please do share!
P.S. A little reminder from the makers of these pods:
What should Tide PODs be used for? DOING LAUNDRY. Nothing else.
Eating a Tide POD is a BAD IDEA, and we asked our friend @robgronkowski to help explain. pic.twitter.com/0JnFdhnsWZ

Haven’t tried that product yet. Looking forward to our next grocery and I will be extra careful to look at each shelf for that new product. Though we use the same brand, I am just curious when.you’ve mentioned the.whites can become whiter pa. I need those for my boys’ school uniforms…They can be real careless sometimes.
I think these work best in white uniform. I know how OC moms can be on white uniforms- everyone wants their kids’ whites to be brighter! Lol
I’ve heard about the Tide Pods and also the challenge. It looks so promising and I really wanted to try this product, for sure, this would be a really great help in making your clothes white.
It’s a pity these products became popular for the wrong reasons! That tide pods challenge was so wrong, and well, dangerous! You can check Rustan’s or SnR, they have these on shelves.
I like the original variant of Tide which we are using on my daughter’s cloth diapers. Got curious tuloy with those pods! Isang beses lang ba un ginagamit then after itatapon na?
Ay wow! This is nice. We send our clothes to laundry shops kasi. Yung DIY chuchu? And since machine wash syempre not super white na. Matry nga to.
I use these pods whenever I’m in Korea. We dry our clothes indoors (hindi uso ang outdoor sampayan, lol) with just the heater on, and they help a lot in making clothes look and smell fresh kahit hindi naarawan. 🙂
Ang cute! Haven’t seen one yet, will keep this in mind when I go to the grocery next week. My daughter’s white uniforms are not as white as I want it to be. I think I need some Tide Pods intervention.
They look like candy kaya pala kinakain ng mga bata kaloka.
I wash our clothes the old fashioned way (by hands), sipag ko e haha. But this thing looks promising especially for white uniforms.
So those are the pods I am reading about a lot in Quora haha. Pero booster pala sya and not stand alone pero mukhang mas maganda nga ang pagka-white. I wish makahanap ako nyan minsan. I need those to brighten my kids’ school uniforms.
Wow! Na-curious ako, we need this for our white clothes, Deep Well pa rin ang water sa subdivision namin, kaya medyo yellowish ang mga white clothes. Thank you for sharing.
Wow meron pala nito. Will check this our mommy, kasi si husband nagrereklamo na sa mga white sando niya naninilaw na daw. Nyahaha! Thanks for sharing this, will definitely check this out!
I need this. Period. haha I’m not good at whitening clothes. If they are becoming gray or yellowish, I just want to donate them and buy new ones. I was not trained to brush and bleach it until it’s white. I also feel too busy to do it. Although baking soda and lemon work well, in case of emergency. =) Would love to have these. Let me check in the market here. =)
