Tide Original Powder Laundry Detergent

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.

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.

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???

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.

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

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.

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!!

The new scent of Tide is terrible! Bring back the original tide scent we all loved

Why change? The floral and fruit notes, stink! No one wants this in their laundry!

I have used Tide my entire life and it was perfect and now it has been ruined by a strong offensive new sent that gives me a headache. I can’t use it anymore - it’s so sad - it was my favorite detergent for decades.

I've been using Tide HE powdered detergent for years and years. I avoid GAIN because it's scent is nauseating. Now I've got to find another product. Not everyone likes scented clothing and, well, you've managed to "take the cake" of messing up a perfect product. I'll be looking for another brand.

New scent on Tide original powder is too powerful. What were you thinking? The change is not good.

The new tide powder box does not have the lip that would seal the box anymore.When I pull the tab to open the box it stays open all the time does not over lap anymore. I have to take all the powder out of the new box and put in the old box.

I have used and loved Tide powder for years. My most recent box has an awful perfume smell. I’m very sensitive to scents and will be returning the box and finding a new product to use. I’m very disappointed.

I have used Tide exclusively for 25 years. The new scent is way too strong and perfume-y. Bring back the fresh scent you have always had!

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!

The new smell is nothing like the original, im incredibly disappointed bc i just bought 102 loads worth of this powder. i don’t always use powder detergent so i actually still have some of the original scent; it’s incredible how different it is; and honestly it just doesn’t smell like laundry to me anymore

How many bad reviews and lost customers will it take for P

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.

I was a lifelong Tide user but the 2022 scent "upgrade" is unbearable. It makes the whole house stink. Change it back! Until you do, you have lost this customer.

We won’t be buying tide again until the old scent comes back.

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?

I have used TIDE HE powder for 23 years…..and just opened a box of the new improved quick dissolving formula…..it SMELLS horrible and is over powering, and does NOT dissolve quickly… in fact it does not dissolve…..it cakes up in my dispenser! If this is the improvement, then I will be switching to a different detergent! I am not sure why P

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.

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:(

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!

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.

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.

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?

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 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.

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.

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.

I have been a loyal Tide user since growing up in my mother’s house. My dad worded for P

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.

The new scent is the horrible! My clothes and home smell terrible. The smell is worse than rotting garbage. Please change back to the original.

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.

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.

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 !!

Longtime Tide customers at Costco. Last purchase was overwhelmingly strong, and my fragrance-sensitive wife was choking and wheezing all day. Never again!

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.

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.

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.

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

I have used the original tide power all my life. I am so disappointed in the new scent change. It’s over powering and gives me a headache. It’s also breaking my toddler and I out. Sadly we will be no longer using this product for our family.

I’ve tried looking for the original scent - the box that says ActiLift and nothing… please Tide bring it back!!!! The new box that says “clean dissolve” is awful smelling and I just bought a huge box from Costco ugh! I’m glad I’m not the only one that disagrees.

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.

I have used for Tide for years. Disappointing that such an overpowering, new scent has been incorporated. If we don't get accustomed to it when this box runs out, we will have to look for alternatives.

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.

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

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.

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.

The smell is completely different! What happened?? I know hundreds of people on FB who say the same. Why change the product?

Tide has been my tried and true for some time now. It has been the only detergent to actually keep my clothes clean and fresh, without terrible fragrance that negatively impacted my skin. I also use it to clean my home, my car, my shoes...literally everything. The most recent scent change to the powdered tide was a terrible decision - it smells like a wannabe Gain laundry detergent - just too over powering and off putting. I appreciate that it cleans well, however, I just cannot smell this all of the time, as it gives me a terrible headache. I could understand adding a new scent to the collection, but not changing a well-loved product that had no issues to begin with. Very disappointing. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

You have changed the formula in September of 2021, again, without letting the consumer know. The smell is SO OBNOXIOUS it makes the whole house stink. When you changed the formula years back it was bad enough but this is just ridiculous. WHAT is wrong with your "original" formula?

Died all the way always use it always well, even for mopping my floor it’s the best with some hot water

If you’re a fan of #GoCleanCo then you know how magical powdered Tide is. It works so much better than liquid laundry detergent or the pods. The liquid laundry detergent is diluted with so much unnecessary water that it doesn’t have the same type of strength as powdered tide. It may seem old school but make the switch! Trust me! #BleachPrayLove

I used this for everything from clothes to toilets to floors. Good clean scent. Love this classic.

I use the stuff all the time! I use it to clean my house and in laundry! It’s like magic in a box! I feel like there is not a stain this can’t get out! It’s always amazing to clean bathrooms, floors, shoes, I mean it you can use this for anything! I highly recommend using this!!

Powder tide is just as good as the liquid. I initially made the switch to be more environmentally friendly since there is no plastic. But I found that the powder was on average cheaper and stronger than the liquid. Works best in warm or hot and longer cycles, but I have done 30 minute delicate cycles with it and there was no residues on my clothes. I like to mix it with oxiclean for a really powerful presoak.

Nice smell, keep my clothes clean and giving and nice final smell! I was using Ariel until I found this Tide brand

There is no better clean than Tide clean. The smell has some what changed over to years in my opinion but the cleaning power is still unmatched.

This is one of the best detergents ever and it’s probably the only one I use consistently. I also use this to clean the rest of my house thanks to Instagram and it’s definitely noticeable. This thing is a powerhouse when it comes to cleaning and laundry!

I use this for laundry but I actually use it more often for cleaning! Follow @gocleanco on Instagram for all of her amazing tips! A little sprinkle of this in some hot water and it works wonders on all your household cleaning!!

Love this brand i always repurchase and go back it makes my clothes feel so clean and i can tell the difference i alternate between this one and the powder version its affordable for the amount you get i would recommend.

I use Tide with my spin mop when I clean the floors! They always look so good! One product with more than one use;). This is a cleaning hack game changer!

I use tide powder for everything except my kids laundry! Need to mop the floor? Tide powder! Need to clean the tub? Tide! Mix it with water and a little bleach and BOOM better than any other cleaning products. My laundry gets clean and the scent isn't too strong.

We used Tide around the firehouse for all kinds of things when I was a firefighter. They still do. I remember when we sanded down and then painted our 1971 Mack Ladder Truck (Ladder 26). The first thing we did, before we started sanding, was wash it with 140 degree water dosed with Tide Powdered Laundry Detergent. We used dish gloves to protect our hands from the hot water. We did our laundry in it too.

I use this for way more than laundry. Mix in hot water with a little bleach and it is the best multi-purpose householder cleaner ever. Tubs, tile floors, walls, counters, etc it will clean anything! Cuts through kitchen grease easily!

We have been using tide for a couple of years now. It makes the clothes clean sometimes and at times not too clean. I usually purchase the bucket one.

Not only is it great for clothes but I use as a cleaner mixed with water and bleach all over my house.

I recently had the occasion to use Tide Original Powder and really like it. The clothing has a different " feel " after its use compared to Tide Liquid. I am a professional and probably don't soil laundry as some and this detergent satisfies my needs. I must admit that I miss the clothesline fresh scent that the product formerly had.

Did tide original changed its scent. It smell more fruity to me. Please let me know if it’s changed. Thanks.

This product has so many uses. I love using it with bleach to clean my floors. Also great for cleaning ovens. I highly recommend this product to everyone.

I love using powder detergents and this is by far my favorite. The smell is amazing and lasts a long time. This is a product which I would definitely recommend. This product is very affordable so it’s amazing.

I recently came across the account for Go Clean Co on Instagram and have learned the wonders that is powder Tide. I’ve honestly never been a big fan of powdered laundry detergents but after learning of the enzymes that help really break down dirt and grime, I am a convert! And not just for laundry. Actually less for laundry and more for general cleaning. Check out their account for more info! Water, bleach, Tide will forever be a staple in my home. It is amazing what it can do for almost anything!

I don’t understand why my clothes smell so bad. This is something I would expect from a store brand detergent, not from tide

The BEST detergent for tough stains and getting clothes clean! We use this for our son’s cloth diapers and it cleans so well and gets everything out!! Might be spendy, but it lasts a long time!

For years the smell of the original Tide was something that I always looked forward to. I finally am able to afford to buy Tide powder again only to find out it is NOT the same! I'll finish up the box that I just bought but will be switching to something else. So sad.

New "original" scent. How can Original have a New smell. I have just in the last few months been able to buy the Original powder. I loved it. So fresh so clean .Covid 19 days ..I have had touse fowl STRONG FAKE smells like your competitors have. They were making me have headaches. TIDE was fresh and clean BUT NOT now. I willbuse my new box but will hang clothes outside to dry to air out the smell. Disappointed to say the least. Would have given TIDE Origianl a 5 ⭐ if the scent had stayed the same.

The new lipless box is a perfect example of penny wise, pound foolish. Because this new box basically exploded powder all over the place when I opened the it, I am now thinking it is time to reconsider Tide which I have used for decades, So while P

I use this for everything. Stains, carpet stains, floors, walls. It cuts through dirt like a champ.

This has been my same detergent for years. It gets the job done, and it leaves my clothes smelling fresh

I’ve been using Tide Original he powder for years. In the past, you pull the tab around the top of the box to open, revealing a double layer of cardboard that nests when the box is closed (part of the inner layer stays with the box and the outer layer stays with the lid) - which allowed the box to seal and stay closed. The new box only has a single layer at the lid, so it doesn’t really close at all. It’s like an open beaked baby bird waiting for a worm. It is super annoying since the box is so full (which from a visual indicator of value seems awesome) it spills all over when you scoop detergent or shift the box on the counter (which is not so awesome):(. I want my old box back. I seriously considered doing a recycling bin dumpster dive to get my last box back to transfer the new soap to the old box. I didn’t, but it was a near thing. A week later I’m regretting my squeamishness....

1) Opening the box - the side strip you pull. Well the detergent spills out as the detergent level is higher then the cut line. Had to put in another container. 2) How much to use is confusing: level 1 for medium load, level three for large load and then level 5 for Full HE load. So do the 1,3 (med and large) apply to the HE front loaders? You web site says the same. Call to clarify and trhe person did not not know the answer. 3) The detergent does not mix well - Front load HE has top compartment for detergent where water flows at start that pulls the detergent into the machine. Well it does not mix well as the clothes on top get detergent residue. So should I put the detergent (say half of it) before the clothes?

This stuff is so much more convenient and efficient than liquid detergent! No mess from dripping soap, and you’re able to use much less than liquid soap.

I use powder tide for everything!!! Cleans your clothes, your floors, counters, tubs, whatever!! Follow @gocleanco on iG

As a member of the GoCleanCo Cleaning Army, I use powdered tide for everything. Laundry, washing the walls, everything. The smell is great, it gets all kinds of stains up from any surface and it lasts forever!

Love this for cleaning! 1 tsp in a gallon of hot water and you’ve got yourself a GREAT cleaning solution! (Thanks, GoCleanCo!) Great for laundry and bonus...the smell is wonderful!

This is the best detergent hands down. I follow go clean Co and they reccomend this for seriously everything. It’s the only thing I can use for my boys clothes to keep them clean, bright and stain free!

I don’t use this for laundry all that often but I do use it to clean everything in my house. GoCleanCo on Instagram taught me everything I know. #WaterBleachandTide

I’m old school and love this powder. A little goes a long ways and it has that great tide scent

I exclusively buy Tide powder laundry detergent. I haven't bought other detergent in years. I use less than recommended, and my clothes always come out perfectly, always using cold water. I love that it's not only easier to deal with, it lasts longer because of the size, and it's a greener option because the container is cardboard instead of plastic. I will continue to buy Tide detergent!

I switched to powder when I started doing cloth diapers and never switched back because I feel it gives a much better cleaning job than others!

The amount of cleaning you can do with tide powder is mind blowing - not just for laundry! Highly recommend following GoCleanCo on Ig for suggestions but works fantastic on clothes, floors, walls - you name it!

Once I saw GoCleanCo on Instagram I had to buy Tide! This stuff is magical! It gets ride of stains off of everything! I use it to clean everything around the house too! I love the smell and the price is great too!

Always stick to the same product, for decades. I like the powder, because it seems like my clothes don’t have a film on those. Maybe it’s just my imagination, but I like the clean from the powder better.

I’ve been using Tide powder for about 7 months now. This last box I purchased with acti lift must have been very potent that it left bleach spots all over my new towels and on a few clothes items.

Best detergent ever!!! I don’t know why it took me so long so try but omg I’ll never go back. Tide is great for clothing, and cleaning @gocleanco for life!!! If you know you know if not check them out on Instagram!

Tide Original Powder is one of the most used cleaning agents in our house at this point. We use it not only for laundry, but for mopping the floors, and cleaning other upholstered items. It is a very affordable option for the various uses it provides and for the efficiency. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a new detergent or cleaning option. 

I have been washing my family's clothes for twenty-five (25) years. I have tried almost every premium laundry detergent. While others are good, Tide Powder is the best cleaner and leaves a fresh fragrance. P & G cannot improve on perfection.

I’ve gone back to the old fashioned powder detergent. I’ve noticed our clothes are cleaner without all the thickeners that are put into the liquid. I just think the powder works better. My only complaint is that it doesn’t dissolve well in cold water and I would like that to be an option for some items.

This is amazing! Not only does this leave my clothes smelling great and clean, it can also be used to clean household items! I mix it with some warm water and it can clean anything from stove tops to sneakers. Add some bleach and you can make your floors sparkling!

We cloth diaper so having a detergent that can actually get the clothes clean is important. With tide powder it lasts a long time and it cleans well.

This is the literal best. There are so many uses for powdered Tide! I obviously use it in my laundry, I also use it to clean my shower!

I am the biggest fan of tide and of powder detergent so it’s fail proof to combine them! This has been my go to detergent for the past year and for the price you get a ton of loads!

I have tried all kinds of different laundry detergent. Where we live the water is very hard has a lot of phosphorus in it. Using original tide my clothes don’t look as dingy and come out clean. Even my husband’s greasy work clothes come out clean.

I use this tide powder to clean my entire house! Thanks to one Instagram account during quarantine I changed my entire cleaning routine.

Just started using the powder again after like 20 years. The scent seems to be the true original scent. It does a great job cleaning. Tide is the best.

60 y/o fondly remembers helping Mom (who only used Tide) with the wash because I loved the smell of the clean laundry so much. The fresh smell began to fade in the late 90s, but it is now g.o.n.e. Worse yet, I realized about 5 years ago my whites were turning gray so I had to start using additives to get my whites white and towels fresh-smelling; regardless of temp, and new machine!! What happened?! I've tried buying from various stores thinking Costco got B grade or something, but there is no difference. I've been dragging my feet not wanting to change, but the quality has not kept up with the price so it is time to cut loose. If I have to use additives, I may as well buy cheaper detergent. Strange as it sounds, I feel like I'm leaving an old friend. Tide has been part of my life for a long time. Sad!

This is my favorite laundry detergent. I not only use it as detergent, but I also use it as an all purple cleaner. This is an affordable product and lasts a long time. I love the smell and the way it cleans.

In my experience, tide powder is the best. The only use I have for the liquid, is to pretreat oily spots. So, pods are out. I only wish there were single usage packaging. Husband and grandkids, you know... I DO, repackage my powder into big ziplock bags, which I then place in the original carton. Less lumpy that way. AND, I measure out exactly how much is meant by the lines in the stupid scoops. (It differs by The “type” of tide... sigh). I then use a two tablespoon scoop to measure out the correct amount for my loads. OTHERWISE, I use too much, and it doesn’t rinse out properly. Even with all of that finagling, Tide powder is still (hands down) the best at cleaning my laundry!

I use cloth diapers for my son since he was 2 months old. After some trial and error with other detergents, I decided to try Tide. The enzymes in this detergent ensure that all of the poop and urine residue actually washes out. I have also noticed the powder works amazing on removing stains from all of our clothes. 

Love this stuff! First off if you don’t follow gocleanco on Instagram do it now! She shows you all the ways to use this stuff! My personal favorite is cleaning the walls, sounds crazy but it works amazing!!! Also leaves the whole house smelling fresh and like you did laundry all did haha

I purchase this particularly for use on cloth diapers. It’s very effective at cleaning and the powder formula rinses very cleanly. It smells nice and fresh, but not overwhelming.

I recently purchased tide again because I’m going to be cloth diapering with this child. I fell in love again, I forgot how great the cleaning power is, it smells fantastic. It’s more expensive but I feel you don’t need to use as much as cheaper brands.

I use this for my cloth diapers . It is really the only detergent that does the best at keeping the ammonia smell away.

I’m old school when it comes to laundry! I love the smell and cleaning power! Hard pressed to get me to make any changes here

I am a fan of Tide but I purchase large boxes in bulk and this powder left residues on our clothes. I was very disappointed and I hope the other products do not.

Call me old fashioned but those tide pods everyone is using has ruined a comforter and many of expensive clothes by melting onto them. This is all I will use.

P&G: Please bring back the 80's original scent!!! You might get a BIG surprise! Your sweet versions are keeping many from buying your product!

When I opened the box, the corners tore, such that powder detergent spilled out. Once I've done a few loads the contents should be low enough to avoid further spilling, but this is a poor design.

Powdered Tide detergents are my favorite. But Original smells bad! Wish I could sample the other scents without committing to the full box.

After reading the reviews for this product, I think Americans will whine and complain about ANYTHING. They will find a way to be unhappy about ANYTHING. It is LAUNDRY DETERGENT.

Must mix powder w/hot water 2 dissolve. If I don't mix it before putting it into the machine, the clothes are left w/chunks/spots of residue leaving one to think the clothes are dirty.

After years of great laundry, now I have a smell that won't even come out after extra rinse cycle. Do you think a combo mildew/perfume smell is what people want? YUCK

I will have to find another brand since Tide changed its formula and smell. Now my clothes have a horrible mildewed smell and aren't clean. Tide PLEASE go back to the original formula and smell.

Our family has been using Tide since it hit the market..Only wish is that would go back to that clean fresh scent of the 50’s.

I have tried other detergents but I just don't get the results from other brands that I get from Tide.

I purchased the large size and that usually lasts us a year. Not this time! Stains are not coming out and clothes smelling musty, almost a mildewy smell. Tide sent me debit card to replace cost.

First time ever using a powdered detergent. I love this stuff! It made white bed sheets look brand new! It also cleans far better than the liquid and pod detergents too.

Since the formula changed, I have to use 2-3 times as much with warm water to get my clothes clean. Colors fade and clothes shrink. Changes of a good product doesn't always work.

Where can I buy the original powder Tide laundry detergent? It is gone from all the stores I shop. Nothing was better and the HE version is horrible.

Used liqd soap in old frnt ld wshr(gskt mildw in 2006 Kenmore HE4t).Oldr wshr-gasket mldw-musty laundry.Too much liqd soap? We now use Tide HE turbo pwdr-4 mo so far,Tide pwdr HE-lndry smells clean

Been using Tide for 46 years. Purchased large box of Original Tide. After several rinses, scent was permanent. Will be donating to homeless shelter. Searching for new detergent!

Tide is my detergent of choice, I started washing my own clothes when i was 10 yrs. old and every since I have tried coupons for other detergents and they all fall short of original Tide.

Ever since actilift crystals were added it doesn't perform as well at removing odors.Towels are musty and socks stink.Workout gear is still ripe and shirt armpits still reek.And this is in ANY temp.

My laundry is done but my clothes smell NOTHING.. I'm gonna return it and buy an other brand because you can get your clothes as clean and smelling better for cheaper.

Poor scent with blue crystals. NOT happy and hate what you are pushing. It is not the same. I HATE THIS ONE. I bought the original and it is NOT what you say.

So disappointed. Used to love this, but now it's so expensive and smells strong and perfume-y like all the rest. Wish I had my money back.

The new original fragrance is too sweet and sickly. The old original fragrance was much more pleasant. I will probably not buy another box.

Trying to open the Ultra Tide box put me off from using the product! The slits on top were red herrings and don't do a thing! Disappointing design.

I've always used Tide Original powder but hadn't used it in awhile due to financial constraints. Recently splurged on a box of Tide only to find that the scent has been changed to some a heavy musky odor that burns my nose and doesn't smell clean and fresh like it used to! The smell was so repulsive that I had to re-wash my laundry with another brand of detergent! I really wish P&G would bring back the PREVIOUS scent in Original Tide Powder, the one that I, and everyone I know loved! Not this terrible scent that literally makes me wanna hurl.

The fact that Tide (P&G) updated the scent in this product is enough to be troubling all by itself! But adding insult to injury by not communicating this with your consumers is just poor business! The fact that the box still says "ORIGINAL SCENT" when it's not is VERY misleading. I called Tide (P&G) today and requested a refund for this product. I would have brought it back to the store, but I already emptied it into the plastic detergent bin we keep in the laundry room and tossed the box. They are issuing a prepaid Visa card in the full amount. However, that doesn't take away from the fact that they are promoting this product as the "original scent" when it's not. I encourage everyone else who is not happy with this scent change to call in (1-800-879-8433) and get a refund, too!

We have used Tide and have been delighted with it for OVER 40 years. This week we opened another box powered HE Tide. Within a minute after unzipping the top, the OVERWHELMING SMELL hit the room. The lid was not even lifted up. We set the box in another room. The smell migrated to the whole living area. The lid was still closed. Outside it went then back to WalMart. No receipt but they graciously refunded us. Why do major companies make such changes? It wasn't a small amount of scent, it was a huge amount. What if we had washed valued clothes in this? Would even the original Tide clean that smell out? We emailed the company but never heard back. Before returning the box, we carefully compared all six sides of both boxes and there was no indication Tide was about to loose our business. If anyone knows of a power, HE that can easily be found with NO smell and reasonable cleaning power, we would like to hear rsmith@xmission.com

After having to switch from Gain, my all-time favorite detergent, I decided to give Tide Original a go, since I've always used it in the past and loved it, but usually only buy it on sale. I opened this box and quickly became disgusted. What is this overly perfume-ridden odor housed in this box? Because it surely is not Original Tide. Along with that, I still have to add a scoop of booster or Oxi to the wash and allow the clothes to soak for 30 mins or so to get even half-decent results. What happened to detergents working just fine without the need of "boosters" and additives? Don't change something if it's not broken. Leave what works alone and instead focus your attention on the things that need improvement, one of which now is this terrible smell you pass off as the "original".

I purchase Tide powder at Costco and just purchased a new box a few weeks ago. I thought maybe it was just me noticing something different about the smell after the first load. But my kids, upon smelling their laundry, immediately accused me of switching to a different brand of detergent: "Mom! Why did you switch from Tide? This smells horrible!" Horrible might be too strong a word, but the fragrance is overwhelming and unappealing. Unfortunately, we find that Tide is by far the best detergent on the market, but may be forced to switch because of the new smell. Disappointed :(
