Subject basically says it all. I'm currently putting together my online grocery list, to be delivered in the morning, and Meijer is out of the Tide Original powdered detergent. However, Tide Original Plus Bleach powder is available.

We own very little white clothing so just wondering if this product is safe for colored clothes and towels. I would assume so considering it's not actual chlorine bleach in there but just wanted to run it by you guys before I buy a big box of it.

Lots of liquid available of course but I've come to like the powder better over all.

Yes it safe for colors. I have been using it for years with no issues at all on colors. There is no chlorine , just oxygen bleach and activators. One thing to remember is that this is not a "cold water detergent" warm and hot water and this detergent will perform quite well.

Oxygen bleach can fade or damage non-fast colors so I'd avoid exposing suspect "delicate" dyes to direct contact with the detergent before it's dissolved and mixed into the water.

Thanks guys, I went ahead and put it in my order :)

No worries about the cold water issue, I can count on one hand the number of times I've used cold water in the past several years.

I don't think we have any non-colorfast clothing, but thanks for the heads-up.

Like Persil powder TWB may fade certain colours over time with repeated use. This would be especially true if washing in very warm to hot water.

If we're taking about light, bright and colourfast things shouldn't worry. But deep reds, purples, burgundies might be another matter.

I'm on my second box of TWB and I have found it performs better in cold water than any liquids I have used in the past, including their own. However, my cold water is tempered to 85F. I doubt any powered detergent would work well below the 70F-75F range.
