I wanted to like this detergent. I go to the gym 5-6 times a week and wanted something to get the sweat smell out of my workout gear. I saw this so I thought I'd try it. I am wearing clothes washed in it now and can't stand it. I think I would honesly prefer the sweat smell over this highly perfumed scent. It's going back to the store after only using it twice. My clothes don't even feel like they've been washed.

We recognize that scent preferences can vary greatly among individuals. The Tide Plus Febreze Sport is formulated to provide a fresh scent while effectively removing tough odors, including those from sweat. However, we understand that the fragrance may not be to everyone's liking. Here are a few points to consider: - Scent Strength: The scent of the product can be influenced by the dosage used.

Each Tide product has a unique fragrance profile, and trying another option may help you find one that suits your preference better. - Storage Conditions: The fragrance can also fade if the product has been stored improperly or for an extended period.

Renamed and Rebranded
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

Tide Plus Febreze Sport Odor Defense has been renamed to Tide Ultra Sport Liquid Laundry Detergent. I don't understand why Tide hasn't updated this on their official website?! You can't even find "Tide Ultra Sport" on their site, yet the rebranding is clearly stated on Targets website 🤔. I was so confused 😕.

FAQ

A: With Tide Plus Febreze Sport Odor Defense™ Liquid Laundry Detergent, measure the liquid detergent with the cap from the bottle of detergent. If you're using the regular detergent formula, then for medium loads, fill to bar 1; for large loads, fill to bar 3; and for HE full loads, fill to bar 5. If you're using our HE formula, then for medium loads, fill to bar 2; for large loads, fill to bar 4; and for HE full loads, fill to bar 5. Tips: Always refer to the label on the carton or bottle for specific instructions. Use more detergent for heavily soiled loads. Recommended amounts are based on average water hardness. For very hard water, use a little more detergent (approximately 1/4 dose). For very soft water, use a little less detergent (approximately 1/4 dose). Always measure HE liquids using the cap from the detergent bottle. Do not measure HE liquid using the lines on the HE washing machine dispenser. If using a "compact" machine, use the recommended dosage of detergent, and be sure to use an HE detergent for an HE machine.
