THE TIDE NEIGHBOR-TO-NEIGHBOR NEWSLETTER: WELCOME TO MARY'S FABRIC CARE
   CORNER

   FROM THE DESK OF MARY
   Hi, Richard!
   Fall is a special time of year when families gather together to visit
   pumpkin festivals and apple orchards for pumpkin pie and apple cider.
   Whether the Fall season inspires you to carve a pumpkin for the
   "trick-or-treaters," or take a ride in the country to see the brilliant
   colorful leaves as they change, October is a month full of fun and
   enjoyment.
   Happy Halloween! Mary

   CLOTHING CRISIS OF THE MONTH

   [spacer.gif]
   [spacer.gif] This month's featured neighbor is Betty from Topeka,
   Kansas:
   With all of the different laundry detergents in the stores these days,
   I often get confused trying to determine which to buy. While I have
   been a Tide Liquid user all my life, I must admit that I get confused
   when trying to choose the right product for my family. Can you please
   explain the differences between your Tide Liquid products?
   Thanks for asking Betty! The laundry detergent aisle can be confusing!
   Let's make sure you're choosing the Tide Liquid formula that will best
   serve your family's needs:

   THIS MONTH'S TIP
   [spacer.gif]
   It is important to understand the differences between Tide's Liquid
   laundry detergents because each one is specially formulated for
   specific laundry needs.
   [1]Tide Liquid has several product choices available:
   1. [spacer.gif] Use [2]Tide Liquid with Bleach Alternative to eliminate
   the hassle of having to add color-safe liquid bleach to your laundry
   load. This product features the Tide BrightLock™ formula to ensure your
   whites and colors stay bright. (Available in Regular and Mountain
   Spring.) Since Bleach Alternative is safe for most fabrics, go ahead
   and use your [3]Tide Kick on those tough stains as well. (Always follow
   the garment manufacturer instructions on the care label.)
   2. [spacer.gif] For heavily soiled items, choose [4]Tide Deep Clean
   Formula. (Available in Regular, Mountain Spring, and Tide Free.) Best
   if used in conjunction with the [5]Tide Kick measuring and pretreating
   device. Using Tide Deep Clean formula and Tide Kick together completely
   removes more of your stains than any leading pretreater and other
   liquid laundry detergent combined.
   3. [spacer.gif] For family members who are sensitive to scented
   detergent, [6]Tide Free is the product you're looking for. Tide Free
   provides the same stain removal benefits of regular Tide without dyes
   or perfumes.
   4. [spacer.gif] [7]Tide HE is formulated specially for use in
   high-efficiency (HE) or front-loader washers to help maintain excellent
   cleaning power in the low water levels of HE machines. Go ahead and use
   your Tide Kick too! It is safe to use in your HE washer.

   THIS MONTH IN FABRIC CARE HISTORY
   We sure have come a long way since the days when our ancestors would
   scrub their clothes on rocks, and use sand as an abrasive to remove
   dirt! The history of the washing machine is a long tale to tell. Here
   are a few key historical developments that have helped to build the
   high-quality washing machines that we use today.
   • [spacer.gif] The scrub board was invented in 1797.
   • [spacer.gif] The wringer washer was invented in 1861.
   • [spacer.gif] The electric-motor powered machine was born in 1906.
   • [spacer.gif] The first top-loading automatic washer was invented in
                  1947.

   HE TALK
   While you may have heard about using Tide Kick to measure and pretreat
   your laundry items, did you know that [14]Tide Kick is safe for HE
   washers as well? That's right — using Tide Kick with [15]Liquid Tide HE
   to pretreat your garments makes stain-fighting even easier.
   Simply measure Liquid Tide HE into the Tide Kick (be careful not to
   overfill,) then pretreat your clothes with the roller ball and finally
   just toss the Tide Kick with the remaining liquid into your washing
   machine. It's that easy!
   Can't find Tide HE? Visit the [16]Tide Store Finder.
   Want a [17]FREE Tide Kick and a coupon for $.50 off Liquid Tide HE? Get
   yours on-line [18]NOW!
