Steps to Wash Clothes with Tide
While the reference focuses primarily on loading a top-loading washing machine, the general process for washing with Tide detergent involves these steps:

- For a front-loading machine, add detergent to the dispenser.
- Load Clothes: Place your sorted clothes into the washing machine, following the loading guidelines mentioned above.
- Select Wash Cycle: Choose the appropriate wash cycle based on your fabric type and desired wash temperature.
- Start the Machine: Begin the wash cycle.
- Dry Clothes: Once the wash cycle is complete, transfer your clothes to the dryer.
