Tide Coldwater and Target Celebrate Earth Month: Giveaway

I have been fortunate enough to work with Tide a few times this past year on various projects including the Tide Loads of Hope program currently helping victims of the floods in Nashville.  Seeing the inner workings and passion of such a large company definitely makes me brand loyal and willing to help spread the word.  While Tide is hard at work in Nashville, they are also partnering with Target and Proctor & Gamble to celebrate Earth Month!  From the press release:

tidecoldwater“In honor of Earth Month, Procter & Gamble will offer valuable brandSAVER coupons on Tide Coldwater® and PUR® redeemable at retailers nationwide, including Target stores. Tide Coldwater is one of three sponsors of special Earth Month reusable Target store shopping bags, made from 100% post-consumer recycled PET bottles. Target will distribute 1.5 million of these reusable shopping bags to customers later this month. Both Tide Coldwater and PUR are designed to save customers money and help the earth.”

Tide Coldwater is specially formulated to get your clothes clean in cold water which will save energy and your money!  My electric bill tends to get out of hand, so any chance I get to save energy is a good one!  I have had the opportunity to try Tide Coldwater (available in two scents) and can say that it works well on my clothes!  The detergent dissolves well and gets my clothes just as clean as when I use hot water.  Love it!

Tide Coldwater: Review and Giveaway

My family has always been a Tide family, but when I had the opportunity to meet the people who work for Tide while I was at BlogHer ’09, I became a forever customer.   While at the Conference, I was introduced to Tide Stain Release which has been a godsend in my home.  With one daughter at daycare and the other in preschool, their clothes endure some serious wear and tear!  I have been utterly amazed at how well it works to remove the stains on their clothes!

So, when I was approached to review the Tide Coldwater product, I was more than happy to oblige.  As winter approaches and my electricity bill skyrockets, I am always looking for ways to save money and cut our energy usage.  Did you know that 80% of energy used in washing a family’s clothes comes from the energy needed to heat the water?  Tide Coldwater provides a cool way to wash in cold and still experience a superior clean.

From the press release:

Despite what your mother told you, washing your clothes in hot water is NOT the only way to get them clean—Tide Coldwater allows you to make the small change to cold water washing with energy savings in mind.  It’s specially designed formula removes stains better in cold water than the next leading regular detergent in warm water. Using Tide Coldwater and washing in cold on a consistent basis saves money and energy without sacrificing performance.”

I took the opportunity to wash a few loads of some of our dirtiest clothes including towels, daycare clothes (after a finger painting day) and school uniforms with the Tide Coldwater liquid product. I liked the fresh scent and loved the way my clothes came out.  I did not find any difference between the clothes I washed in warm water and those washed in cold, so why not save energy and money, right?!   Have a HE washer and dryer?  No problem!  Tide makes a Coldwater HE just for you!

Want to save even more money?  The fabulous people at Tide have offered one lucky Not-So-Blog reader an ENTIRE YEAR’S worth of Tide Coldwater!!  How great is that?!?
