Robin FrostI'm minding my business putting away groceries and other items that just arrived at my house. These included some of the new #Tide Evo laundry detergent products. So as is often my custom with new items I scan it with #SeeingAI and other assorted apps and it's reading me what it can find on the packaging. And I think to myself, did I just hear it say #NaviLens? No I couldn't have. But wait, yes, yes, I surely did because #VDScan just said it too. So I fire up the #NaviLens app for the very first time, and sure enough it spots the symbol on the packaging and suddenly it's telling me about the product, describing the tactile symbols on the outer packaging, telling me what they mean, telling me how I can call through #BeMyEyes during certain hours to get assistance, giving me product usage instructions and telling me how I can open the package and also telling me how I can visit the website or affording me the opportunity to locate the package using sound to tell me when I was close to it. That was pretty neat. I feel a bit behind the times as I must confess sheepishly to never having interacted with #NaviLens before this very day. I'll now have to investigate what other products bear their symbols. #Accessibility #Blind
Baxaphobia@robini71 Hi there! Is the tide Evo laundry sheets or pods? Just curious let me know what you think.
@baxaphobia They are neither they are tiles composed of layers of woven fibers of detergent. Their appearance has been likened to that of strands of cotton candy woven together into a solid tile. Not sure either the original scent or the spring blast scent will remain with me. I should probably have gotten the free and gentle. I do so lament that so many scents are so loud these days. But don't go by me I'm saying the same of P&G's Secret Shower Fresh Antiperspirant also. So perhaps it's me. I feel like a citizen without an aromatic country. But the product packaging and form factor is neat for the Tide but some also say its pricing isn't a good value for those who do lots of laundry as pods and liquids and powders are still cheaper. More than you wanted to know probably, sorry.
@robini71 No, that’s a great description! Sounds kind of weird. I usually use the Armen hammer clean scent laundry sheets. I really like those. The sent to me is not really overwhelming. I do not like pods at all. I find that there’s residue on my clothes. It doesn’t seem to rinse well and sometimes you find some sticky junk. Yuck. So gave up using those a long time ago.
@baxaphobia @robini71 You know I’m starting to find that as well, so I think that I will switch to Scheetz when we run out of these Pods.
Amy@technocounselor @baxaphobia @robini71 I haven’t found that but I can see how it might happen: finding residue on your clothes with pods. I’ve noticed the washer is gookie for lack of a better description. I think I’ll purchase some washing machine cleaner and switch to the sheets when the pods here run out. I’ve been using gross community laundry machines for so long I’d not paid attention to the residue. But now that I’ve got my own machines it’s worth paying attention to. Now to search out who has good prices for the sheets.
