dump a cup of baking soda and a cup of white wine vinegar, wash again, they'll be fine.

I see this often. Does this work better than just washing again with tablets? Or even just a water wash?

Brah you shouldn't be using tide pods regardless. They're no good for your wallet or the environment.

How so? I guess they are more expensive but I can afford like $2 per pack for the convenience of just throwing them in. Am I doing it wrong? Serious question

Tide Pods use what is known as PVA plastic as the 'dissolvable plastic'. PVA exactly what they mean by microplastics and forever chemicals.

Thanks. The brand I use is an eco one that does not use any plastic packaging at all, only cardboard. The pod film is bio-degradable too
