Great but...
Best detergent. Works well on all kinds of stains. I just have one problem with it. I throw away every cup I purchase after the first one. This wastes Tide's money and is damaging to the environment. Sell the cups in every fifth box and label those boxes. Or you can sell the cups separately with a coupon to purchase them free with the purchase of a box of detergent.

Where did it go?
I love Tide Original Powder Laundry Detergent but where did it go? Has it been discontinued? I can’t find it at Sam’s Club, which is where I have been buying it for years, or Target and online retailers are charging ridiculous prices. I do not like the Tide with Ultra Oxi and some things can’t be cleaned with anything that contains Oxi Clean. Please bring the original back!

Fire Your Marketing Department
This is one of many examples of where marketing departments in order to justify their existence will look to make changes based on “data“ and “surveys” only to find, after re-tooling, it was a huge mistake. I agree with the other reviewer‘s protesting the changes to the original Tide.
WNCGUY111/05/2024
Discontinued?
This is no longer sold at Target and hard to find at local retailers, online retailers are way overpriced! Has this product been discontinued???
nicnacno10/01/2024
Huge mistake
I can’t believe we are still begging you to change the scent back to it’s REAL original. What a huge mistake you have made to change the scent. You have lost so many customers. So so sad.

What happen to the size.
Last year's Tide had 183 load per box. This year's Tide has 143 loads per box. But they are the same box and weight. Please answer, this drives me nuts.

Nothing works better!
In the interest of saving money and reducing plastic waste, I decided to try the old fashioned powdered Tide. People may say that newer is better, but you can't beat an original. I had used liquid detergents in the past but even using the bare minimum never seemed to get my clothes fully clean. Using just the minimum amount of Tide powder knocks stains out and leaves my clothes looking cleaner than before. The smell isn't overpowering either which is great.
I live in a third floor walk up apartment with laundry in the basement so the box being light weight is a bonus.
I use warm water in a top loading HE washer and there's no clumping at all.
If you are looking for a budget friendly detergent that actually works, look no further than the original Tide.

Terrible recurrent vaginitis from new formula
Count me among the many people here stating that they suffered health problems from the new formula. I had symptoms similar to UTIs, BV, and/or yeast for several months but test after test came back negative. I thought I was going insane. Turned out to be my laundry detergent and resolved as soon as I switched.

The Tide Team
We're so sorry to hear you've had this experience, and are so glad you're feeling better. Please know, our products have many safety checks in place to ensure they're safe to use as directed. We would recommend you discontinue using the Tide Original Powder detergent, as you've mentioned you've already done. In 2023, we did make some changes to the formula to concentrate the powder to allow for lower dosing per load, while still delivering powerful cleaning results, however. So that we can help you further, please give us a call at (800) 879-8433.

Horrible smell!
After reading all these bad reviews on the new "original" Tide, I now realize it's not in my head, it's the Tide!! Why would you change a scent that's been around and loved by so many for decades with a scent that is overwhelming, sickening, and headache-inducing to a LOT of people??!! So many of the reviewers also say that they've used Tide for years with no allergic reactions, but suddenly with the new "original" formula, they're having suddenly having allergic reactions. You keep saying "we put a lot of research into creating something everyone will like," "your satisfaction/safety is important to us," "use Tide Pods Mountain Spring scent, which is similar to the original scent," blah, blah, blah, on and on. Who are all these people you performed research with?? You didn't ask for my input, and it's obvious from most of the reviews about the new smell/formula, you didn't ask them for their input either! Instead of changing up something that's been a great, reliable staple product for us and past generations for so long, why not just, ya know, create a new fragrance/formula, and keep the REAL original fragrance/formula on the shelf as an option instead of replacing it with some inferior product. Let the people decide if they want to switch to the new smell and formula, and those of us who have depended on the REAL original product can keep using what we've known and loved for so long. The people have spoken! Please listen to us!! You are losing customers right and left over this. Is it worth it? Do you even care, or are we just a number??

Needs Adjustments
The blue dye is unnecessarily dark.
The scent is heavy and reminds one of low-quality discounted brands.
The formula causes itching and other skin irritation.
Please consider changing the formula to include less dye, more appealing scent, and less harsh chemicals.

No plastic!
In the search to lessen the amount of plastic, I need to wash my clothes. I found tide powder in a cardboard box at Costco. I’m not sure if you can find it at other stores but it’s the best thing that’s ever happened to me. I hate plastic, especially in the water.

ITCHY, STINKY PRODUCT
I had been a devoted, faithful Cheer Powder user for my entire adult life (over 40 years) until a group of intelligent individuals at the parent company decided to end it's advertising and, later, stop producing it entirely (way to go, people). My grandmother had been a Tide Original Powder user for many decades. In years past, Tide Original was my backup brand for periods of time when Cheer Powder wasn't available. Recently, I bought a box, expecting the same old Tide Original that I grew up with and had been known to enjoy in years past. I couldn't use it -- had to give it to a neighbor (who has since thrown it out -- can't use it, either). The smell is now strong and offensive compared to the true, old school Tide Original and it makes us itch really bad. I read the directions to ensure I was using the product correctly. No dice. That stuff is just plain awful. Again, way to go: First, you discontinue Cheer Powder and now you've ruined my backup detergent, as well....

"Original" Fraud
Tide has made changes to the original formula over the past couple years. Consumer driven marketing supposedly drove this company to change a decades old product which was FIRST in the consumer's eyes for many years. Changes in ingredients to enhance its cleaning effectiveness is a different discussion than changing the smell of the original product. In my humble opinion, ORIGINAL should be removed from the box and product label. It is misleading to the consumer to sell something ORIGINAL when it is not the original product, particularly with the smell. Gone are those days when using the Tide original where your clothes smelled that familiar TIDE fresh and clean. The smell is different. Some in the industry may think for the better according to consumer research, but wisdom with age and my nose tells me otherwise. Consumer demographics and target audience are changing. Perhaps younger people know better. The older consumer knows differently. Others on this review site agree. Consumer beware, this is not the TIDE of old. You aren't just imagining this different smell.

Bothered by new formula powder
I have used Tide original for over 15 years and the powder for at least 10. I bought the new version and the smell is so strong it aggravated my asthma. My skin is bothered by the powder too, even when I wash my hands right after scooping it. I don’t know what changed but I might have to switch to something else because it’s too much for me.
FWallus02/21/2024
The Tide Team
Thank you for your feedback on Tide Original Powder, FWallus. And thanks also for your many years of loyalty! Just so you're aware, our original powder was enhanced in April 2023 making it a concentrated powder formula to allow for lower dosing per load, while still delivering powerful cleaning results. Colors and whites also have more protection due to a new soil polymer. Because your health and safety are paramount to us, please discontinue further use and give us a call at (800) 879-8433.

Tide laundry powder
I have found tide liquid and other liquids don't clean as well as tide powder and not as cost efficient. I was going thru a giant bottle of liquid a week. This is a scam. Don't cancel the powder
It works better and is more cost efficient

New Formula
I have been using this product for decades. After using the new formula I have been breaking out in Eczema and hives all over my body. My face swole and I had to go to the hospital.

The new scent gives me a headache!
I've been a loyal Tide original user for over 2 decades but the new scent is so horribly overpowering that I get a headache. I had to put my clothes back through the wash cycle without detergent TWICE just to lower the scent enough to be able to wear them.

Left discolored spots
Bought the powder because store was sold out of liquid, washed 2 loads with powder before noticing that our clothing is all ruined with what looks like bleached spots! I do not use bleach as I am allergic so it had to be something in the powder. It has ruined over $300 in clothes! I will NEVER but it again!

Thank you for sharing that your experience with us. Our products are put through many quality checks to provide you with the best laundry cleaning experience.

Hate the scent
I've been using Tide Original powder for decades. A year or so ago, they changed the scent. I am allergic to perfumes, and cannot tolerate the new scent. I've seen many reviews that say the same. Bring back the original scent, and I'll return. But for now, no more Tide. :(

Powder detergent off scent
I changed back to powder after advised that it would prevent build up of mold in my front load washer door that the liquid detergent produces. The smell is very off setting, not like the original. It did prevent mold build up as was my original goal. Thinking I just got a bad box I bought a second smaller box. Same smell. Very deceiving saying original scent when clearly it had changed. Time to change brands. Very disappointing. If you go back to your original formula, I will be a returning customer.

Sickening smell
Clothes come out smelling as if they have never even been washed! I’ve used Tide for40 years and tide changed the scent of original Tide several years ago but now the last box i opened is sickening to smell! The clothes don’t smell fresh or clean when coming out of the washer and after drying they don’t smell clean! Tide, you have already gotten rid of clean breeze scent, so I had to start using the “original” that WAS NOT original anymore. Now I’ll have to find another detergent just like everything else that’s disappeared in the last few years! No quality whatsoever!!! I don’t know who Tide is catering to now but I’m sure your loyal customers are leaving in droves!

Katie, there's nothing more important to us than our users safety and satisfaction. We do extensive quality and safety testing to get the scent of our products just right, and while scent preferences will vary from person to person, it should never be sickening. Of course, this powder should always give your clothes the cleaning they deserve to when used as directed too. We're so sorry that this occurred, but know this isn't something we ever expect to happen to anyone, let alone one of our loyal users for over 40 years. Luckily, our Clean Breeze scent still exists, but it's in our liquid and pod variants.

I loved the original scent
So we’ve wasted more of our hard earned money on a trusted product. I understand the need to change things but don’t continue to call it original. The new smell is horrendous. I’ve not only got a whole huge box of detergent I can’t use, I’ve also got to rehash my clothes! And search for a new detergent my husband won’t be allergic to. Stupid decision Proctor

Obnoxious scent
My family has always used tide. I wanted to go back to the original scent, but it is not the original scent. I have allergies, and the “new original” Tide irritates them and gives me a severe headache. I have also tried using the scent free tide, and the clothes don’t smell clean it all. Please go back to your original scent… It’s much better. If the scent of the original Tide remains the same, I will have to start looking for new detergent.

Tide simply clean and Sensitive detergent
This smell is HORRIBLE!!!! I have to wash my clothes twice just to try to get the scent out.. its unbearable not satisfied with this product, the best thing about washing clothes is that fresh clean smell, but smelling them now after washing them with Tide just puts me in a foul mood never thought that would happen with laundry.

I just bought my last box of Tide original. I started having an allergic reaction to it on my eyes and armpits. I know you changed something with scent, and who knows what else. I used it for cloth diapers and it was great. But now I'm done. I am visiting the dermatologist now for skin allergens because you messed with a staple product. Ugh. Do I recommend it?

I’m not buying Tide ever again
I’m so disappointed in the new Tide scent. It smells like a cheap chemical dominated product. We are being gaslighted by efficiency experts who study environmental issues and I don’t believe they can’t do better. People like fragrance and somehow anything that brings life and joy they seem to ban- misery loves company. I’m not purchasing anymore.

So disappointed. Doesn’t work for cloth diapers.
I’ve been using tide powder for my cloth diapers for almost 3 years and have just needed to buy more so this is my first time using the new formula. It’s HORRIBLE! My cloth diapers are not getting clean at all. It’s frustrating when a good thing is changed and is made worse. This has been a major complaint amongst the cloth diapering community.

Firstly, thank you so much for being a loyal Tide Powder user. We're so sorry that someone such as yourself isn't happy with our new formulas.

I have been looking for the original scent and this isn’t it, I thought I had a bad batch so ended up buying another and sure enough it smelled the same. You guys should definitely bring back the old classic scent as it smelled fresher and not at chemically as the new one.

Please change the scent back to the original
I’ve tried to self adjust with the new scent but I just can’t. As much as I love tide. I’ve literally used it my whole life (36 years) ! But I can’t anymore. I’m breaking up with tide until the old original scent comes back. Seriously if it ain’t broke, why fix it?! Tide was the BEST laundry detergent hands down. No question. And then you tried to make it even better by fixing it, but you broke it. Along with my heart 😔

Scoop buried in box
I would make 1 change. It is frustrating trying to dig down thru powder to get the scoop. Can it be placed at the top. I always spill a bit searching. Thank you

Had to change the formula
I’ve used tide my whole life never had any issues and then all of a sudden the last batch seems like I’m highly allergic to it. I’ve changed to a diff detergent for sensitive skin and it’s helped a lot . Kinda disappointed as I loved tide.

Headache-inducing chemical smell
Why why why did you change the smell? Original Powdered Tide used to be one of the best products on the detergent aisle. It was my go-to for deep stain removal, whites, workout clothes and my boys’ sports uniforms. And for everything else I used Tide Pods (spring meadow.) I stock up for months so I didn’t even realize the scent had changed until this weekend. I first noticed it with my whites using the powder— the smell was so strong I thought I had mistakenly spilled some shower cleaner. For my next round I opened my tide pods and ran the cycle and realized it was the Tide. I found a package of my old pods and compared the two. The new smell is horrific. I have had to Rewash everything. Unless it changes back, I am going to have to find a new brand. You cannot wear the clothes washed in the new smell without getting a headache.

There's nothing more important to us than your safety and satisfaction, so we're so sorry to hear about your experience.

What happened to the original tide scent? This new scent is horrible it smells rancid, like vomit. I will never purchase another bottle of tide original scent, the “original” original scent smelled great. The scent now is just gross.

Allergic to “new” original scent
We’ve been using Tide original scent in powder form for many many years, but something changed recently. I just opened a new box purchased at Target in April 2023 and after 1 load, my husband is itching like crazy on his feet (he put on socks from this load). I’ve got boxes sitting at home, is there a way to find out if all our boxes are the updated concoction? We certainly can’t waste 5 boxes and will need to exchange, but love Tide and hope this original version is changed back to what it was for so many years. Thanks.

Get the Mountain Spring powder!
For everyone who deplores the new "original" scent as much as I do, get the Mountain Spring powder. Seriously. It's a much lighter fragrance that just smells "clean", and isn't sickeningly sweet and cloying.
No, it doesn't smell like the old "original" scent, but it definitely comes close to it.

Tide
I started back using tide powder recently and really enjoy it the smell I love especially when using to clean the house. My only issue is that recently I am having a hard time finding tide powder in original scent. And noticed that the weight is still the same on the large box but it now says 113 loads where it used to say 102 loads. But the weight and ounces are still the same. Are you taking up the price on this size soon and trying to fool us into thinking is it is more when it is really the same?

Not even close to ORIGINAL SCENT Tide!
What happened to the ORIGINAL Tide scent I LOVED as a kid??!!! The new scent is over-powering floral and does not come close to the REAL original!!

It's a shame calling this "Original"
What happened to the scent everyone loved?? Why change a good thing?
To save money. That's why. I'm sure I'm going to get a canned reply about how this was "researched a whole bunch to make sure..." blah blah, ad nauseum.
Bring back the ORIGINAL "original" scent and I bet you'll see your reviews take a pretty big jump
That said, I'm hugely disappointed by the latest formulation. The scent is not refreshing. It's overpowering. It's also not the original scent.
It cleans fine I suppose. I stopped using it. Did I mention the scent....?
Bring back the OG original please.

The new scent is repulsive
I've been a loyal Tide consumer for decades, and was able to tolerate formula and scent changes in the past. This latest change however, is just awful, it doesn't smell clean just very perfumed. Family and friends say the same, that they're on the hunt for a replacement brand. Their recommendations to use fragrance free, or other scents is just aggravating. Tide now has an excessive amount of options on the shelves, why mess with the OG. I hope they go back to what the consumers want.

Tide Original now with a new STENCH!
Please fire whoever decided to change the Original Scent Tide powder to whatever horrific stench this nightmare is. My family has been using Tide since the 70's and never had a problem. Now, even after leaving the box in the garage for 2 weeks it still reeks of a chemical spill. On top of that, the smell won't leave the clothes even after repeated washings (4) without any detergent! Please go back to the Original formula and save the "updates" for other products designed for heavy smokers who live next to landfills. Also, your responses to comments are ridiculous when you read over the literally hundreds of negative reviews on this page. LISTEN TO YOUR ACTUAL CUSTOMERS!!! (And yes, I know how ridiculous it is to be shouting on a detergent review!)

Yuck! Not What I Expected
Been using a different brand for last few years. Decided to buy a great big box from Sam’s Club today to see if it would help get the smell of mildew out of some improperly stored clothes. I opened the the box and was overwhelmed with a bad smelling lotion type smell. I am waiting for the results of the mildew smell though. So far, when I open the lid it smells like lotion and not mildew so maybe it will help! I was hoping for the smell I remembered from before when I purchased the ORIGINAL scent box. This is deceiving since there is NOTHING original about the smell. I thought my sense of smell was messed up but checked with someone who uses Tide and they said the smell has changed and obviously this review section says the same. Guess I will be going back to the previous brand of powder soap!

Scent is not pleasant
I really appreciate how effectively Tide cleans clothes, which is obviously the main objective for a laundry detergent. However, the scent has steadily gone downhill and that’s why I can’t rate it at 5 stars. I grew up in the 80’s/90’s and can still remember how clean and fresh my clothes smelled. The scent was not overpowering, it was lovely and had staying power. Please consider bringing back the true scent from years past that many people miss and others will grow to love too.
Please!

okay, good to know i’m not imaging it..
opened up my new box of tide laundry powder.. ran a load, and was completely overwhelmed by the new scent!! i ran extra baking soda in the wash to try to get some of the scent out and it’s kinda fine, but after a week, the entire hallway my laundry room is in smells like this new scent, and my clean towels linens that share my laundry detergent cabinet are now completely saturated with the smell too. awful! i can’t imagine all this scent wafting around isn’t harmful to breathe in.. at least with the old formula it smelled fresh and nice…
i grew up with the original tide powder detergent and came back to using it after we bought our first house. i miss the smell of “home” i’ve come to associate with the old “original” formula. i honestly might have to transfer this detergent powder to some kind of sealed bucket to keep the overpowering scent from permeating through literally everything.
i really, REALLY hope there will be enough complaints to bring the previous formula back.
also (this is a slightly older problem), the box no longer has an overhanging lip to keep the lid closed, which is a BIG problem with using the detergent when there are curious pets around.
i sure won’t be in a hurry to stock up on tide powder anytime soon.. and i hope when i’m out of this terrible-smelling one in a year, we can have the original “original” scent back! otherwise, i’ll be on board with others in declaring i’ll be switching to another brand.

The Nose Knows
I am a big fan of Tide products. I usually use Pods but in effort to save water used in Pods, I switched to Original
powder. My complaint is that it does not have that Original Scent smell. It lacks a smell. Tide original would fill our laundry room with a wonderful scent before. I do like the efficiency with cleaning our laundry. I am thankful that has not changed. Glad to read your team is working on this. Meanwhile I will hang in there.

You keep changing your formulas and have pushed me right out from using any of your products. You changed your original scent years ago and I could not get that scent out of my clothes.

The new scent is just awful :(
Sorry, but the last box I got smells awful. I had a tiny bit left of my previous box (it lasts me forever) and low and behold I’m not crazy! They smell completely different. If you want a different scent that’s fine (although I’m not sure who would buy it!), but why lie and try to pass it off as the original scent. I won’t use it and there goes my hard earned $ :( I’m not happy w/ feeling like I got scammed, but if you ever bring back the old scent I’ll come back. Until then I’ll have to use a different product….

Tide New “Original Scent”
Tide has changed the original scent; you do see the problem with these words together, right? When “original” is no longer the original, there’s a problem. Now I have a large box of Tide that I can’t stand. And I’m supposed to try the Mountain Spring to see if that’s the right one? I still think powdered Tide does the best job of cleaning of anything out there; the pods are for the birds. I’m going to be peeved if 1) Mountain Spring stinks and 2) I can’t find it in powdered form. Value and Quality can’t be rated higher since I have spent money on a large box of Tide that I can’t stand to use!

Love Tide Powder
I am a long user of Tide Powder Detergent.
Yes I strayed due to price, but came back. It really does take out 7 day old stains. This is THE ONLY detergent that gets my husband's NC socks clean!! The only thing I would change is the smell. I've been using the Mountain Spring scent which is nice but doesn't leave your clothes fresh smelling without using scent beads. Please bring back the scent from the 60s that was delightful!! Or make the powder in the same scents as the liquid and or Pods.
PLEASE NEVER STOP MAKING THE POWDER!!! I LOVE THIS STUFF

NOT "original scent"
Why fix something that isn't broken? I grew up on original scent tide, but unfortunately now my entire family has insisted on changing detergents. So disappointing. What's funny is the majority of those leaving feedback reflect the same SCENTiment (see what I did there?...). Please consider a CocaCola move, and go back to the classic tide scent. Thank you.

Awful Smell
Tide seems to still clean okay, but the smell is so foul that I have to stop using it. I thought it was "just me" but my husband who has sensitive skin and requires another detergent for his clothing asked me to stop using it on my own clothing because he said they smell "putrid." I agree. TIDE are you listening? Plenty of other people also loathe this new, bad odor.

I am so disappointed with the new fragrance to the original tide. You should have called it a different name and leave the original alone.

A TRUSTED RESOURCE
I have used Tide powder for many years and have always like it; however, the current fragrance is off-putting. I remember the days when my mother used " Clothes Line Fresh " powder and I always enjoyed bedding down with the fresh, subtle scent of Tide.

SMELL
THE SMELL HAS BECOME SO STRONG THAT AFTER FIFTY YEARS I CAN NO LONGER USE TIDE POWDER. BRING BACK THE PRIOR LIGHT SCENT. I HAVE STOPPED USING THIS.

Had to throw away the new fragrance made me ill
Bought the original scent in powder and it was so strong even just sitting in the opened box. I had such an asthma attack we had to wrap it up in two garbage bags and throw it away. Will you PLEASE bring back the true original scent FORMULA? PLEASE. Most of us long time Tide customers do not like strong over powering and lingering smell In our home, in our clothes and in our bed linens and your “Original” original was just perfect the way is was and the way it cleaned. I am truly missing and nostalgic for the True Original Tide. Thank you! Again please make us happy and bring back the correct Original- will the real Original please stand up?

Best Laundry Detergent Ever!
We used Tide original when I was a child, a long time ago - 50"s. When I got older on my own, I tried other brands. but none compared to Tide. I still use it and the powder only. I do not like pods. Anyway, it is getting harder to find any Tide powder. Are you going to discontinue completely? Lord I hope not.
Georgia9910/22/2022
Bring back the old scent
I've been using this for some time and this new scent is not at all the same. The smell is not pleasant. I will have to look for another brand. I can't be the only one complaining about this. I actually paid more because of the scent.

Horrible Smell
New scent is awful! If you are going to change the scent create a new label. The liquid original scent smell is overpowering so I switched to powder. Now the powder has a new "original scent" that was snuck in. When I see friends I don't want to smell what detergent they use as their cologne or perfume. Ridiculous. Don't change something that people have loved for years and years. Do these comments really get shared with the research and development departments? People are upset. Do something!

Skin irritation!
Been loosing sleep over itchy skin after using Tide for 20 years… went to the doctor and we couldn’t figure out why ive been having a allergic reaction.

“New” Original Scent
I have used only Tide for the last 40 plus years. It has always clean well with a light scent that doesn’t scream laundry day! I do not like the new scent at all, it lingers everywhere and I did my first load and my whole house smells of it. Sadly for the first time in 40 plus years I need to fine a new laundry soap. I have I get rid of the headache I got from the new scent first.

Love the product, hate the smell
I've suffered from chronic migraines for years, which are triggered and exacerbated by perfumed products, including detergents, and so have used fragrance-free detergents for a long time. A couple of years ago, I was so happy to find that I could tolerate the light, pleasant fragrance of Tide Original Powder, and have used it ever since! However, I opened my latest box and have been so disappointed in the change that's been made to the fragrance. I find it extremely cloying, and I'm concerned that I won't be able to use it if it triggers migraine headaches for me. Please consider going back to the previous formula. Thank you.

Above all else, your laundry day deserves to be an exceptional one. We're sorry to hear that you're not a fan of this upgraded scent, but please know this isn't normal since we do many tests to get these changes just right.

Love the cleaning power, HATE the smell
I recently switched back to Tide Powder Detergent because I wasn't satisfied with my other laundry detergent and I wanted to use Tide as my overall household cleaner for washing floors, cupboards etc. Like most reviewers I was incredibly disappointed to open the box and discover that the "Original Scent" is nothing like the Tide Original that I grew up with! Old posts online suggested that Mountain Spring was the "new Original scent" but when it was available you couldn't buy it in the powder laundry detergent. Now it looks like that scent is discontinued too. It's ridiculous that a major brand would change the scent of it's products when you have decades of dedicated customers who had zero complaints. Now instead of just adding to your scent line-up you've alienated your most loyal customers. Deeply disappointed doesn't even describe it for me.

While we completely understand that scent and fragrance preferences and experiences are very subjective and unique, we'll make certain to let our team know how you feel about the scent change.

Powder Comeback!
People, you need to really go back and revisit the powder especially if you have a high efficiency machine. First of all its more environmentally friendly with a cardboard box and less water in the manufacturing process. Second, have you looked at amounts? You need only a little bit. Next, it dissolves beautifully!! Now this is where I had issue in the past, I’d find some undissolved granules-but not anymore. And the smell is quite fresh and clean and not overpowering. Of course it deep cleans and clothes look great as always with Tide. So, I really, really think Tide Original powder is an excellent product and if you haven’t tried it recently you definitely should!
SharonMom308/27/2022
New Formula Stinks
From the negative reviews here and other cleaning social media posts, you should seriously consider bringing back the old Original Acti-Lift formula. It's not just a laundry product to many, it's also a household cleaning product. I sure miss that good clean scent. This new Fast Dissolve "original" stinks. My clothes do not smell clean nor does my house after I mop. Please, I really don't want to switch to Gain. Please bring back the former scent.

I had been using Tide for at least 30 years. When you switched the original scent quite a few years ago, at least the Mountain Spring smelled like the original and I stayed with Tide. Then you switched the Mountain Spring scent, so I switched to scent free (after I used up all the old mountain spring scented liquid I had stored up.) I find the scent free pods do not clean as well. I have to use more pods than recommended to get the clothes clean. Recently, I stayed at my daughter's house. She uses the current tide original pods. I couldn't fall sleep because the sheets smelled so strongly of the detergent. And, it gave me a bad headache. I washed the sheets multiple times with scent free but could not get the smell out of the sheets. Why haven't companies learned from the Coke disaster. Don't change the formula of a popular product. Now I have to look for detergent from another company.

The one and only and now it’s garbage
I’ve had issues, sensitivity to scents, etc with many detergents but this was my go to. Load after load of the tide original powder. And now it smells like garbage and my clothes seriously seem less clean. Who does that?! Go mess with your dumb pods and leave this alone. I can barely tolerate that nasty smell. There is NO reason to pick the name brand anymore.

NEW SCENT IS AWFUL AND UNBEARABLE
Loyal user of 30 years and I’m stopping using Tide and throwing away whatever I have left. This new formula is beyond unbearable. I can’t stand the smell and My BODY is having an adverse reaction to it. It’s beyond awful.

It's not "Original" when you change it!
I can't recall when I began using tide laundry detergent. College perhaps.. It's been at least 20 years. I now have to end this relationship. One of us changed for the worst and it wasn't me. Why, why, WHY do marketing people believe successful things MUST be changed? Did sales of original tide decrease during the pandemic? Very unlikely... Anyways, the new "improved" yet unannounced change has left me with clothes smelling so strongly I cannot wear them and have to store them in my garage. The smell began to overwhelm my entire 2400 Sq ft house with just a single laundry basket of clothes. I tried washing again with just warm water and double rimsing in both my top-load and HE machines. Natural fibers do better but I fear I'll have to donate and replace several hundred dollars of synthetic fabric athletic training clothes. I can't breath in that much smell. Who on earth convinced a corporate board this was a BETTER let alone a good idea?! We already smell like shampoo, soaps

Leave A Good Thing ALONE
We have been using original (boxed powder) Tide detergent for over 40 years, but I'm afraid we just can't handle this new scent anymore. My husband has been saying to me that he noticed and felt and smelled something different with our Tide and I told him it was his imagination. I have never been any fan of any scents/fragrances mostly due to my asthma, but I was used to the original (old) Tide. Our granddaughter helped us find this: Recently, we updated the formula for our Tide Original Powder, adding freshness technology for a nice scent during the laundry process and more scent after the clothes dry. Our testing and research showed us this was a great addition ........ A PERFUME SYSTEM UPGRADE? So many people have so many different allergies and so many establishments are trying to adopt fragrance-free policies. We understand that many folks like to smell like a bottle of fragrance and that's why there's Axe and Gain laundry detergent and other potent options. Couldn't you have kept your foo-foo fragrances in your other products/models and LEFT ORIGINAL TIDE ALONE??
PLEASE GO BACK TO THE WAY THIS HAS BEEN FORMULATED FOR THE LAST FEW DECADES. We have been soooooo disappointed in your re-formulation the last several months. Make it Tide ORIGINAL Powder Laundry Detergent again :-)

The Smell Is Horrible
I am not sure if Tide is trying to pull a “New Coke” marketing scheme, by selling a truly horrible overwhelming scent. In other words, Tide needs to bring back the original scent, a Tide “Classic” if you will. I really don’t want to go to a less effective laundry soap brand, but I must if Tide thinks that this is the correct way to go.

We're sorry to hear that a loyal Tide fan like you is feeling this way, Edward. We can assure you that a lot of thought goes into the design of our products, though we do understand that preferences can vary. In September 2021, this product underwent a perfume system upgrade. We added freshness technology for a nice scent during laundry and more scent after the clothes have dried. We do value this feedback, and we'll be sharing it with the rest of our team. We'd also like to learn more about your experience, as well as answer any questions you may have. When you have a chance, please give us a call at (800) 879-8433.

Why
I recently decided to go back to an old favorite and was in for a surprise. When I opened the box there was a new scent and it’s horrible. Honestly, it stinks to me and apparently a lot of other people who loved the old scent. If we want to use febreeze we could add it ourselves or offer it with the febreeze scent you like. I beg you to change it back to the original. I looovvveeeddd the way it made my clothes smell without adding all of these new additives. Listen to your customers and go back to the old recipe please. You may lose more consumers.

New Scent is Horrible!
I have been using Tide powder for 10 years - the scent was light, loved that the packaging wasn’t plastic, and my clothes always came out clean. The new scent is so overpowering and nearly impossible to get out of my clothes. As a healthcare worker who relies on neutral scents and adequate cleaning power when washing my scrubs, Tide had never let me down, until the scent was changed. I’ve had multiple patients express how strong and off putting my clothes smell, which is the last thing I want to think about when caring for sick individuals. I’m sorry to say you’ve lost another customer.

From a Loved to Hate Relationship
For the past couple decades, Tide Original has been the only laundry detergent I’ve been able to use that didn’t make me sick due to rare autoimmune disorders and fragrance allergies. The original sent was mild enough that it didn’t trigger any major reactions, and clothes after washed and dried did not have any lingering scents.
Today I opened the new box thinking it was the same one I had grown to love. Right away I was shocked at the difference in fragrance. Thinking it was my imagination, I proceeded to do a couple loads. The wet clothes had an unpleasant odor, and when dried was even worse. I am in process of re-washing with baking soda and odor remover for the third time to try and get the scent out of the clothes. I went from a love to hate relationship in the blink of an eye.
I’ve been practically in tears since I just spent $60 on two of the giant boxes, and don’t know what I’m going to do to find another detergent. It’s not easy when you have problems with major sensitivities and allergic reactions to things like this. I bid a sad farewell to Procter

Scent change is very upsetting
Every stitch of my clothing, since birth 51 yrs ago, has been washed in Tide Originsl powder.
I stayed true to Tide even when I was broke in college and refused to use lesser, cheaper brands. I'm an "all natural, organic" consumer but I refuse to give up my Tide. That's how much I loved Tide.
But, NOW, I'm seriously looking for another detergent because they've changed the scent and it's unbearable.
The smell of freshly cleaned sheets made my family excited to go to sleep.
It's pretty bad when my three kids 9-13 asked me what's wrong with the sheets and want them changed because the smell like bad perfume.
Please, Tide, please go back to the true original scent! I rather smell essential oil based detergent than whatever this new scent is.

Please return to original "original" scent
I've loved using Tide powder for more than just my laundry, but now I am in search for a new all-purpose cleaner. The newly formulated Original scent is extremely unpleasant and it lingers in the clothes when I wash them. I am wasting money and electricity and time because I am running an extra rinse/spin cycle on all my clothes to help minimize the smell (this works a little bit). If Tide listens to its customers and scraps this scent, this once-loyal customer will come back.

If it ain’t broke don’t fix it!
To say I’m disappointed is an understatement. I have been a loyal Tide Powder Detergent user for over 20 years and recently after purchasing a box I noticed a difference in scent and thought it was a fluke until my husband purchased another box and confirmed my Suspicions. The new scent is overwhelming and the aftermath of the scent after washing is not the same. Tide powder detergent is the reason I loved doing laundry and made it one of my favorite chores to do now that is all gone. Please go back to the original scent I don’t want to have to change my laundry detergent.

I like it!
Growing up, we never used Tide because my mom was allergic. I’ve used many different brands. I tried just about every treatment and remedy to get sweat stains out with no change. Even the very expensive Persil. On a whim, I tried Tide powder. Imagine my surprise when it took out the sweat stains! No pretreat or anything. I always thought Tide was overhyped but it really does work. Also took a consistent dinginess out of my white bath towels. I don’t know why everyone is harping about the scent. I do not find it overpowering or offensive at all. It smells fine to me and I usually oppose heavy scents. Cheap FOCA and Ariel detergent smells way stronger and offensive to me. Tide does NOT leave a lingering odor. Only a faintly clean scent. I like Tide powder and will use it from now on.
timoftomorrow06/24/2022
New scent
I have been using original Tide powder all my life, but no longer. The new smell nauseates me. In fact I had to set it outside after I opened it. I am actually glad to hear that you changed the scent, because I was wondering if it smelled different because I had Covid a few months ago. I liked the fact that the old Tide had very little residual smell. New scent gives me a headache.

Horrible scent
Original Tide has been my only go-to for years- however, now that there is an unpleasant nauseating scent (I had to air out the car after first picking it up at Costco - grateful for their return policy) I have no idea what to do ….. already stocked up on as many boxes of the ORIGINAL original I could find - please, CHANGE IT BACK!!!!!!!!!

New formula? Smells terrible
I have always loved tide for both laundry and household cleaning… I recently bought a box after my huge Costco one ran out. The new smell is terrible. I loved how Tide always smelled fresh and clean. This smells really perfumed all of a sudden. I hate it. I wish the old scent would be made again.

Overpowering scent
I’ve been using Tide original scent powder for over 40 years. The recent change made to the scent is so strong and overpowering, it totally bothers my nose and smells like a cheap air freshener. Very sad that you had to change such a great and time-proven product. You’ve just lost another customer and will be seeking a refund. Please go back to your old formulation.

You might as well buy Gain
One of the things I loved about Tide Powder (been using it for about 50 years) was that the smell was never overpowering. Not anymore. I've stopped buying Tide and now buy another powder brand. The smell is awful and it just won't go away. I could live with it if it dissipated over time but I actually had family members ask if I was wearing some strange perfume when I wore clothes that I'd washed weeks ago! Really? What were you thinking. Maybe you want to cater to people who don't bathe?? Anyway, you've lost me and many people I've spoken with by adding this "follow you everywhere" smell. Bad decision.

Too much fragrance
I have been a Tide original powder user for more years than I can remember. I liked it that it didn’t have much fragrance as I am allergic to many perfumes. I am disappointed with this product and will have to find another brand to use. Please bring back the original formula!

More detergent now required per load
I bought a new box of tide and noticed that while the same size and weight box used to include 180 loads and now only covers 143. If you examine the instructions on both boxes, you see that a medium load used to require 1/5 cup and now requires 1/4 cup. Is the new formula less effective and therefore requires more? Or is the change just designed to get consumers to use and purchase more detergent than necessary? This is not the first time tide has done this. A few years ago the same box provided more than 200 loads.

Hate the new scent
Have been using Tide for years and always loved the scent of clean sheets after a wash. Just bought a new box and find the scent much more perfumie and off putting, that I had to air out my sheets. WILL NOT BUY THIS AGAIN! Sad they have to change a good thing...

New scent is awful. Bring back the original scent!
I’ve been a huge fan of Tide original powder for about 30 years. They apparently changed the scent in late 2021 and now it’s overpowering, cloying and sweet. I had to put the boxes out in the garage for the night before returning them to Costco. Bring back the old scent! This new one STINKS.

What changed?
I am curious if the change in scent has to do with the change in formula. And if this is due to “shrinkflation.” I went to replace my previous Costco box with a new one and noticed that the old box said 180 loads while the new box said 143 loads. And it smells different. So maybe it’s just full of filler now that is causing a “new” scent.
PreviousTideFan05/17/2022
The Tide Team
We know how much our fans love our scent, so we upgraded it to add freshness technology. We're sorry that Costco didn't have the size you know and love, but be assured that the change in size is not the cause of the scent.

What Happened to the Scent?
The new scent is so strong it is horrific! I switched from the powder to the liquid, and it is the same thing. The scent makes me sneeze when I dispense the product. Then when I dry my clothes, it is even worse, the whole house smells. Then I think I am in the clear until I wear my clothes, and the scent will just not go away. I have been using Tide for 30 years. I will be switching to a new detergent. Sorry, but you have lost a long-time customer.

Your safety is our highest priority, and we're so sad to learn about this experience.

Terrible Smell that Lingers
I already wrote one review on how terrible the smell is but now I must write another review. Not only is the smell horrible but it lingers and is giving me a migraine headache. I have been a faithful Tide user for 40 years and loved how it smelled. It was a clean fresh smell that was mild and pleasing to the senses. This new "Original" Tide has an overpowering perfume smell that permeates everything. In desperation I tried Tide Clean Breeze and it was even worse. It was mentioned by the manufacturer to try Tide Mountain Spring - that this is closer to the original smell. I will try it but I will probably have to stop using Tide since they are likely using this new fragrance technology in all of their products. When I was at the store today looking for another brand to try I noticed ALL the scents were overpowering --- even more so than Tide. Sadly even the more natural brands are also doing crazy strong scents. Who decided we want to smell like strong lingering perfume???

New smell is terrible and formula changed as well
Nobody likes the new scent. Been using tide for decades and now will be returning the new box to Costco and using something else. Also have been breaking out a lot on my body right after I started using this new box (which is something I haven’t had an issue with my entire life). Will not buy another ride product until the old formula is brought back.

New scent is replusive
The best thing about the old Tide original was the fact the smell was clean and faint.
No one needs horrible scents to make their clothes cleaner. The smell in my laundry room makes me want to vomit. Why did you fix something that wasn't broken
PSWIFT05/07/2022
What’s with the smell?
I thought I was having a problem with my sense of smell until I read the scent was changed. The box was in the trunk of my car and the awful smell was overwhelming as I drove home. I’m using it with an extra rinse, but I will try a different brand of detergent next time. The product was fine before so why the change? For a product this expensive I expect much better.

New Scent Is AWFUL!
I have been using Tide Original Powder for 15 years. It has seen me though babies, cloth diapers, grass and food stains, and everything in between. I’ve always loved that it cleaned amazingly well and smelled fresh but not overpowering. I recently had the unfortunate experience of buying a Costco-sized box of the new formula/scent and I am so disappointed. The smell is awful - it’s like a mix of cat litter and urine? I thought maybe I just got a bad batch so bought another box at Target. Same thing. I am now on the hunt for a new powder detergent. Please, please, PLEASE bring back the old scent/formula. Your loyal customers deserve it!!

bring back the old box

New formula gave me rash!
I noticed the new tide smell when I put on my first mask washed in it. Thought it was different but didn’t think much of it. That day my face broke out in a rash. That rash soon went down my neck and into my scalp. Then I noticed that I was all around itchy all day. Especially at night in my sheets. I couldn’t figure out what was going on and then thought it might have something to do with that new smell. Sure enough, googled it and it lead me to these reviews. Apparently the new formula is more than just an obnoxious smell. Rewashed my sheets in a free and clear detergent last night and finally didn’t itch. Now I need to go through my house and rewash everything. Luckily I was able to return my nearly full container to Costco. Too bad it changed as I’ve been using Tide for years!

Change to Tide "Original" product
I have used Tide Original powder detergent for a number of years and was surprised to find that the last box I purchased has a STRONG and VERY UNPLEASANT scent. I do not understand why this change has been made to what was a very good product. Labeling it as Tide Original is misleading. I'm planning to return this box to the store and look for a different brand of laundry detergent. Please consider offering the previously labeled Tide Original product again!

I have LOVED Tide powder for many years. It works better than anything and I've enjoyed the original scent. However, you have amped up the scent and it is way too strong. It lingers far too long and is no longer nice. Sadly, I will be switching to another detergent.

This product is essentially unusable for my family now. After using nothing but this for a decade, we can't stand the smell and it just cakes up in my washer's detergent dispenser. It's honestly fascinating (and not in a good way) that it can cause the amount of stink it does when so little of it reaches the actual laundry. I used it on our bedding and it's been triggering my husband's allergies to the point of misery. Why fix what didn't need fixing? Was it even tested before being put it into production?

If this is the improvement, then I will be switching to a different detergent! I am not sure why P

New scent is terrible
I LOVE Tide powder, it works better than anything and I've used it for years. However, I just bought a new box and finally got the god awful new scented stuff that EVERYONE I KNOW HAS BEEN COMPLAINING ABOUT. The bad news was accurate, my entire basement stinks of it. It's giving me headaches and I will sadly be returning to my previous brand.

Bring back the old scent
I have used tide for years because it was the only scented detergent that didn’t trigger scent related migraines for me. After the liquid changed the scent a couple years ago you recommended the powder. I have used that until just recently when I opened up my latest huge box from Costco and discovered the change. I know have 2 180 load boxes I can’t use without getting a migraine. As a family of 7 I do about 20 loads of laundry a week and now will have to go back to scent free detergent:(

Overwhelming smell
I have used Tide Original Powder laundry detergent for years. It has been a wonderful product to use. I just finished up a large box and opened a new one today. Immediately upon opening I could tell something was different - an overpowering smell was coming from the new box. The smell is not a pleasant one. I am very unhappy with this - I guess I will need to find a new detergent and I hope I can get my money back from this purchase. It's a shame Tide changed this product!

New SMELL is terrible
We have always used powdered tide and the smell was always good, not too strong but just enough to give a clean laundry scent after drying. Im sensitive to smells so this is a big factor for me since I easily get migraines. The new smell is TERRIBLE. It’s incredibly perfumey and floral, instant headache. What a mistake though, definitely never purchasing again unless the scent is changed back.

The new scent is awful
We’ve been using Orignal Tide powder for ages, because it works great and smelled nice. The new scent is horrible. It smells like cheap perfume or air freshener and gives me an instant headache. The old scent was so light and never gave me headaches. The new one lingers on everything, including my baby’s skin which never used to happen. It completely ruined two bibs (I’ve soaked them in vinegar, rewashed them, etc — nothing makes it better). I will never buy this again (unless the old scent is restored). Super disappointing since it works so well.

Don't fix it if it isn't broke!
40 year Tide customer. Count me as another unsatisfied customer. I, like many others, have been using Tide original powder for many, many years. After opening my most recent box from Costco, I about fell over from the overpowering scent. I decided to go ahead and was a load even though I did not like the smell of the soap. Boy, what a mistake! This new Tide stunk up the whole house with a horrible, sickening, flowery perfume scent! And, please don't try to tell me to try Mountain Spring or any other version of this soap. I would love to continue using Tide powder but cannot with this current version.
Please listen to these customer reviews and bring back the old reliable Tide powder. Remember when they tried to change the Coca-Cola formula?

new smell
Please put the "original" smell back in the Tide powder. Just bought a new box and this change is so disappointing. Had to start using dye and fragrance free Downey for the same reason.

I do not want my laundry to smell
I used to use Tide.....then I got the latest batch.....and it STINKS. It almost gets WORSE after my clothing has been washed! I do not want to smell my laundry.....that's the whole reason I wash it. Clean laundry should NOT have an odor...and I certainly do NOT want my whole family smelling of Tide as we walk out the door! Does it get the clothes clean, yes.....but I'm afraid my whole family will wind up with headaches from the Tide stench... Really disappointed and now I'm stuck with a giant Costco sized box.

Yuck - new smell is awful!
The primary reason I’ve insisted on original powder Tide for decades was its non-intrusive scent. The mild scent is what better than all other brands and all other versions of Tide. The change you made is overpowering and horrible. Hopefully Costco will let me return this gigantic box.

Long time user....no more
Bought my usual full size powder detergent at Costco and upon opening it.. Whoosh, STRONG NEW SMELL! I didn't think much of it until my entire family started complaining of itchy irritated skin and I'm on my 3rd "girl area issue" in as many months. So disappointing!!! Come on Tide. I was a loyal user because of the mild smell you had before!! This new change frankly sucks. Looking for a new detergent now.

Hate the new smell!
When they changed the scent of the original scent liquid detergent I switched to powder but now they’ve changed that too! I hate the new scent which smells like cheap, over powering air freshener. This is especially an issue when washing towels and sheets as I have very sensitive skin and the perfume makes me itchy. I just bought a new giant box from Costco (they last me for more than a year) and now I don’t know what to do with it. I’ve been using tide my entire life as has my mother but this change has made us both look for other brands with less cloying scents. Wish they would just change it back. This marketing decision was clearly not focus group tested enough and needs to be reversed.

New scent is awful and overwhelming
I was a big fan of powdered original tide, buying big boxes of it at Costco sometimes many at a time (Cloth diaper household- we do a lot of laundry!). The new scent is SO STRONG and lingers on everything. The laundry room is behind my office, so now I don't want to do laundry while I work since it lingers in the air. We're going to switch brands when we use up what we have.

Horrible new scent
I just opened a new box of powdered Tide and can’t believe how awful it smells. Like cheap car freshener. This happened awhile ago with the Tide pods and I had to switch to unscented fresh and clear (not sure if they ended up switching back to the original scent). So sad this is now happening with powdered Tide which I use on everything from laundry to household cleaning. Throwing away a brand new box and hoping they announce a return to the original scent. Until then, I won’t be able to purchase.

Change of Scent 2022
Hello - I too have been using Tide powder for several years and been happy with the performance of the product. I recently purchased what I thought was the same Tide Power (rated for HE washers) and am overwhelmed by the heavily perfumed smell emanating from the clothes that I have washed. I am not one to be affected by odors but I can tell you, this is so heavily scented, it is really awful and it definitely is bothering me! Especially when I wash my re-wearable face masks. It is terrible and I too with all these other customers urge you to return to the other formula. #ifitaintbroke !!

Was a loyal Tide user
I have been using tide for over 20 years and have been very happy with it. This new scent change is terrible. The detergent itself smells like cheap air freshener, but I have found that the clothes I have been washing in it have a foul odor when I remove them from my dresser to wear. I never had this problem with the old original Tide. My clean clothes smell sour and foul. Please bring back the old Tide.
megan_m02/15/2022
The Tide Team
-We'd like to keep a loyal Tide user such as yourself in the Tide family, Megan. We're very sorry you had that experience. Laundry detergent cannot cause your clothes to have a foul smell. There are several potential causes - infrequent use of a machine; a build-up of residue in your machine; incorrect product dosage (not enough product used can cause dirt build up in the machine); leaving clothes in the machine after washing; leaving dirty/sweaty clothes in the machine for a long period before washing; or drying in non ventilated areas.
To prevent malodor, regularly run a maintenance wash; don't overload the washer - wash smaller loads, especially for high absorbent items such as towels; use at least the recommended amount of detergent (more for large loads, very dirty clothing or if you have very hard water); remove items from the washer as soon as the cycle has been completed; do not allow wet clothes to remain in the drum for an extended period; start wash soon after putting the clothes in the machine; wash using the hottest water safe for your garments, according to the care label; keep the door of the washer slightly open when not in use; dry clothes in a dry and well ventilated room if drying indoors; and wait until fabrics are completely dry before putting them away.
We'd like to help you look into this further. When you get a moment, give us a call at (800) 879-8433. We're here to help.

Please bring back the old scent
I’ve been loyal to Tide since 1990. The most recent giant Costco box is the last I will purchase, and I will probably return this one. The new scent is horrible, why would you change it? Tide had such a wonderful unique smell before, I would have bought it even if it cleaned horribly.

We're very sorry you had this experience. We never want to disappoint a loyal Tide fan such as yourself.

After 30 years, I need to find a new detergent.
The new "original" scent of Tide powder is simply awful. I opened a new box from Sam's Club and the smell was overwhelmingly strong. I washed one load in it, and the scent after washing and rinsing twice is still embedded in the fabric. I'm trying to strip the smell off this load of clothes by re-washing in baking soda and rinsing with white vinegar added.
This box will either go back to the store, or I'll give it away to whomever wants it. If I can't get the REAL original scent of Tide, I'll switch to another detergent. What a waste of $30.

Terrible new scent
There scent is horrific ! I've never had a reaction to any detergent or fragrance in my life, but I do to this new tide fragrance! The scent is absolutely way too strong, how this passed testing I have no idea. It is disgusting. I shocked that a top company like this would change such a good product to such an awful one. Tide is losing customers fast unless they change it back

Tide stinks!
I just opened a new box (large size from Costco's) of the Tide Original Powder laundry detergent and it STINKS. I washed my clothes in it thinking that it couldn't be THAT bad. I've had a severe headache and my eyes are burning from the overpowering fragrance ever since I hung my clothes up to dry. I'll be returning this to Costco for a full refund. Bye bye, Tide! I've used you for years because of the clean and fresh smelling clothes that resulted, but THIS SMELL is too much. Never using your products again.

When it comes to Tide we expect an amazing scent after much quality testing, so we're sad to hear this wasn't your experience.

New scent for “original” tide powder
I have been using tide powder for years for all of my family’s laundry. I just opened a new box and the smell is different. I usually buy a couple at a time from Costco, so I’m not sure exactly when it happened, but to say I’m disappointed is an understatement. At least we’re done cloth diapering so I can change detergents without worrying about that wash routine. Trying to decide if I slog through the whole (Costco sized) stinky box before switching or try to give it away instead.

Allery to New formula
I've been using tide original powder for a while now and everything was going good until the most recent box I got after September when they reformulated. I use gain at my house but once a week when I do cloth diaper/underwear laundry at my mom's I use tide in her machine because gain is too sudsy for her machine. I've noticed when I wear my underwear that's been washed in tide I get a terrible rash and chemical burns on my genitals that cause my skin to peel. My baby has been having redness in tide washed garments too. It's really frustrating because I just got this box and it's the Sam's Club size which lasts months

The fragrance is overpowering now
I am beyond disappointed. I have used Tide Powder for decades and always loved that the scent was fresh but not overwhelming as we tend to be sensitive to added fragrance. Well, I was horrified when I opened and used a new box of Tide that I had been buying all along. It is so strong and the scent lingers on the clothes that it is making us sick! I bought a new box thinking, hoping, it was fluke. Nope, same. Ugh- we won't be able to use Today anymore due to this significant change. I am so upset.

Missing the distinct Tide Original Scent
I wanted to switch back to tide powder as I have fond memories of the Original Scent my grandmother used to use. After purchasing and realizing the smell had changed, I did some digging around to find Tide changed their scent a couple years back. This new smell is awful. I’m switching back to Purex.
