There is no difference, except in physical form. The Tide powder
contains sodium percarbonate in powder form, and the Tide liquid contain
sodium percarbonate in solution. Sodium percarbonate is the bleaching
agent. The different wording, for sodium percarbonate, is primarily an
experiment, or marketing ploy, for now.
For some consumers, bleach is bleach, and comes only as a liquid. In a
liquid detergent, it is a liquid bleach; and regardless of the label, it
still might damage one's wash.
Real bleach can not come in a powdered detergent, because bleach is a
liquid; so, the powdered detergent is much safer. So, the liquid
detergent Must have a bleach substitute.
