Keeping Your Kicks Fresh with Tide Pods

I got my kicks super white fresh with this sponsored post with SocialStars and Tide. These shoes are my absolute favorite and as always all my opinions are my own. #TideThat

Summer is super hard for me and let me tell you it has nothing to do with the constant struggle of me keeping my thighs from having intimate conversations with each other when it’s super hot outside. That’s a topic for another day. Summer is hard for me because I work in a research lab and while everyone else is outside enjoying the dog days of summer in their oh so trendy opened toed shoes I have to keep my toes neatly tucked away until the quitting bell chimes.  So, every year when the weather gets warm I go in search of a pair comfy, but cute closed toes shoes that can take me from outside to the lab and back again.

While I only purchased these shoes with the sole intention of wearing them during the week when I had to be in the lab I found myself wearing them everywhere! To the mall, on walks with the dogs, to dinner, to bed (okay I’m being a bit extra), but seriously. I even have them on right now! Of course, canvas shoes, especially white canvas shoes are the hardest to keep clean. I went as long as I could go until my bull terrier Jujubee decided that I needed a big ol’ dusty orange dirt pawprint right on top of my shoe. While I could have totally pulled out my Tide Instant Stain Remover pen from my “essentials” pouch in my purse I knew that that pawprint might have needed something a little stronger if I didn’t want to continue walking around with doggy autographed shoes so I put them to the Tide Pods Challenge!

Since I was doing laundry anyway, it was no big deal. I threw the shoes in with a pile of similarly colored clothes and tossed in a Tide Pods and let the machine do the rest.  My family made the switch to Tide Pods as soon as they came out. I was elated that there was finally, an easy and convenient way to do laundry without the hassle of measuring or wasting powder everywhere.  Tide Pods also have this 3-n-1 combination of fighting power. They have combined benefits of detergent + stain remover + brightener. My shoes came out the washing machine cleaner than ever. No more doggy footprints for me!

I took the Tides Pod challenge by trusting  Tide Pods to get my favorite shoes clean so now it’s your turn. Get your dirtiest clothes, toss in a Tide Pods and let the 3-n-1 combination of fighting power restore your favorite clothes back to their usual glory.

    I am a big Tide laundry powder fan from long ago! I would love to try these Tide pods and thanks for highlighting them to me! It seems like it really does work and glad the brand is still one that is of high quality!

    okay those shoes are so cute and I love that they are machine washable. I need to find me some shoes with that super power. Speaking about Tide though, I love it. I actually just bought a tub of Pods last week and so far have used them twice. Super easy since there isn’t any measuring and when I have 3 kids calling my name anything that saves me even a tiny of more time is amazing to me.

    I love that there is no measuring while using these Tide pods! With kids it really is crazy how much laundry we end up doing especially during the summer!! I love how clean our clothes come out when using them too!

    I grew up with Tide and now that I am a mom, I use Tide, too. I’ve been using this for years and I agree that it is tough on stains. I need to stock up on Tide Pods especially now that the kids are back to school.

    Tide pods are super duper awesome. We took them on vacation with us last week because they aren’t messy and it was great to be able to wash before coming home. I hate bringing back tons of laundry to do after vaca. Of course Tide works so it was our only choice.

    I actually do you the Tide Pods…I am also a fan of the Gain version flings. Very pretty and chic shoes too!

    Although Tide Pods have been around, I only got a chance to try them out probably within the past year. I loved the long-lasting smell and how they cleaned my clothes. I would like to try other options within their line.
