Tide Pods – Laundry Redefined

I’m at the point in my life where I feel like my role has been redefined.  With my ‘baby’ being a college student, I feel like my role of “mothering” has turned a corner.  However, I now am on the cusp of caring for aging parents.  Something I am not entirely ready for, again making me wonder just what role I’m playing in the grand scheme of things when it comes to caring for my family.

One doesn’t usually reflect on laundry detergent when it comes to care taking, but I really feel like Tide Pods have encapsulated my redefined life role, much as they have redefined the process of doing laundry.A mother’s job is always to worry about you…or so I tell myself, as both a daughter and a mother 😉  Now it’s my turn to worry about my mother and my father.  My mom was just diagnosed with a cancer mass in her lungs about 2 months ago.In my lifetime at home, I don’t remember my mom using anything other than Tide to wash our things, which only made me feel more confident in recommending for her to purchase Tide Pods, the revolutionary laundry pacs developed by Procter & Gamble.  Tide Pods have reinvented the laundry process to provide excellent cleaning and freshness results, with minimal time and effort.Each convenient Tide Pods is pre-measured so it is simple to use and consistently delivers trusted Tide cleaning performance.  Which means laundry is now a job that my dad can do, when my mom is recovering from her chemo treatments ;)On the flipside, I have this semi-adult around my home for the summer.  For all the applications she put in for a job while she’s home for college, none of them panned out.  So I put a “HELP WANTED” sign in my own home with the job description of “duties as assigned” 😉 , which includes doing the laundry around here.Problem is…I’m a bit particular about my own laundry.  I don’t want bleached-out colors or shrunken items.  Problem solved with Tide Pods:

Tide Pods is a breakthrough liquid single-use with innovation in three key areas:

• To deliver a small liquid single use, a new formula was created that is HE compatible and twice as compacted as current 2x Tide Liquid.
• The three-chamber design allows the unique chemistry matrix to work synergistically in the wash for excellent results.
• To ensure the best laundry experience for consumers, Tide Pods uses a new film that dissolves completely in the wash, even in cold water.

Like any household cleaning products, it’s important to keep laundry pacs Up, Up and Away – seal pacs up, store pacs up, keep pacs away from your kids.

This way I can leave the washing machine set on the same settings for all loads and I have no need to worry about her over thinking the laundry by adding too much or too little, or with changing all the dials 😉

Plus when she goes back to college, it means she won’t have to drag a large bottle of detergent, bleach and stain remover when she goes to do her laundry.

Great innovation means more than just creating something new – it can actually help improve lives.  And in my family’s lives Tide Pods has done just.  #LaundryRedefined
