Product Summary

Tide Pods Febreze Plus 4-in-1 Sports Odor Defense offers a convenient way to attack both odors and stains commonly found in sporting garments. Each pod features multi-chambers containing detergent, stain remover, color protector, and odor defense technology.

Tide claims that these small pods pack a powerful punch offering six times the cleaning power in half the time. Toss one or two pods in your front-loading or top-loading washing machine depending on the size of your load.

The active fresh scent is strong and reportedly lasts for quite some time. If you are sensitive to smells or your skin is easily-irritated, these pods may not be for you. But, they are convenient, affordable, and seem to work very well for the vast majority of users.
