I usually use cold water cycle all the way thru. They said on tv that any liquid detergent will work just fine in cold water. Tide is just trying to work that $ saving angle. (<-- I love the smell but I'm not willing to pay 3x the $).

I also like Jeffrey said use the shortest cycles (light or delicate) unless the clothes are really dirty. Less time it's running = less electricity used
