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.

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.

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. We'd like to gather some information on your Tide Powder carton and help you.

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.

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!!!

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

Please go back to the Original formula and save the "updates" for other products designed for heavy smokers who live next to landfills.

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!

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.

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!

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.

However, I opened my latest box and have been so disappointed in the change that's been made to the fragrance.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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 :-)

From a Loved to Hate Relationship
StarStarStarStarStar1/5

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Terrible Smell that Lingers

Quality1/5

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???

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

02/15/2022
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.

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.

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

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.

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).

We did our laundry in it too.

Jackie, we're very sorry this is happening to you. We want you to love the clean and the freshness you get from our detergents. When a bad odor is left on your items, it's usually because the machine needs to be cleaned out. Proper care of your machine, which includes monthly clean outs with a Washing Machine Cleaner. It will also help if you remove clothes from the washer and dryer as soon as the cycle has been completed. You may even want to keep the door open between uses to allow the washer to air out.

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?

We're sorry you're having this experience, since a lot of thought goes into the design of our products. As well, our products go through many quality checks to ensure that they reach you in the best possible condition. We do heavily rely on feedback such as this, and we'll be sure to share your comments with the rest of our team. For HE small loads, we suggest starting from the medium dose line (line 1) and dosing as you think best fit for the size of the load. We'd be happy to share some tips to ensure that no residue is left behind! We suggest checking to see that your fabric softener doesn't accidentally spill over into the detergent part of the dispenser of the machine, and that you're adjusting the load size for your cycle choice. As well, make sure that the load isn't too large, and not too many absorbent items are present. To remove that residue, rinse your clothes under warm water right away, then soak them overnight in water. Next, re-wash your items with no laundry detergent, and at the hottest water temperature safe for the fabric. We hope this helps!

This certainly isn't the experience we'd like a loyal Tide fan like you to have, since our products are designed to provide your items with a superior clean. We can assure that our products shouldn't cause any bleaching if the items were washed according to the care instructions, and the instructions on the package were followed. As well, no detergents on the market can completely remove color, so this color loss was most likely caused by bleach. If you used bleach in a previous load, some may have remained in the washer. Even if you don't use bleach, other products in your home contain bleaching agents, such as certain toothpastes, acne treatments, and hair dyes.

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!

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!

We're very sorry you had that experience with our Tide Original Powder. This is not something we expect to happen, but we have some tips that should restore your clothing to excellent condition. Rinse the stained fabric under warm water immediately. Soak the garments overnight in water. Re-wash the affected garment again in your washing machine with NO laundry detergent. Wash at the highest temperature permitted by the care label. Always follow care label instructions for suggested water temperature. To keep this from happening, make sure you don't over dose the laundry detergent or overload the washer. If you have any questions, give us a call at (800) 879-8433. We're here to help.

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!

Sickening new smell
StarStarStarStarStar1/5

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".

Ultra Tide HE Powder Residue
StarStarStarStarStar3/5

Just recently purchased a new GE top load HE washer, as well as a box of the Ultra Tide HE Powder. With each load that I have washed so far with the Tide powder detergent, I have had some sort of white residue left on the item being washed, in blotches or spots. The extra rinse feature was also on. To make sure it wasn't the washer I re-ran each load individually with Tide HE with Acti-Lift liquid and the residue was gone. Mind you that both detergents are being added through the HE detergent dispenser, as well as the same wash settings being used, that also goes for wash water temperature at warm water for the wash cycle or above. Please reply with help. Could I exchange the powder with you for the liquid that seems to work?

Tide is the perfect detergent for any washer and I highly recommend that you buy it. It does its job, no obnoxious fumes, and it gets my clothes clean. I have an Maytag bravos HE washer. But, if you have an HE washer, I recommend you buy Tide liquid, because sometimes the powder gets stuck in the dispenser drawer. So if you get tide for an HE, I recommend liquid, or pour the powder into the drum instead of the dispensers.

Deceptive product.
StarStarStarStarStar2/5

Question: Why is the new scoop so short? Answer: Greed. I note some of the video reviews show people measuring out a scoop of Ultra Tide powder. And, they say they are not sure which line to use so they use a full scoop. I’ll bet there are a lot of people out there who do the same or at least use a little more than recommended because they can’t read the scoop so well. I attempted to measure the volume of the scoop so I could find an alternate that is easier to use. (Yes I am an engineer.) Since getting the detergent in the scoop level on any line is so difficult, I used water. Level 1 (medium loads) = 2 oz Level 2 (large loads) = 2.5 oz Level 3 (heavy soiled) = 4 oz A full scoop = 5 oz. If the scoop was taller and narrower, there would be much more distance between the 3 lines and you could make a more accurate measurement. If Pocter & Gamble’s goal was to help customers make an accurate measurement, the scoop would be tall and narrow. If their goal was to sell more detergent, the scoop would be short and wide. Guess which they chose? To the ladies in the videos, you are using more than twice as much detergent as recommended. That is why your videos are on the web site. P&G stock holders thank you. For the rest of us, I recommend buying a 4 ounce measuring cup and marking the levels with a sharpie. The cup will pay for itself in savings several times over on your first box.

I have used liquid Tide for over 20 yrs. & was always happy with it. I bought my 1st HE machine about 10 yrs. ago & replaced it about 3 yrs. ago. I always used liquid Tide HE in it but my towels, especially, had a funny odor to them. I cleaned my washer each month as instructed by my serviceman but the smell was always there. I would eventually get rid of them & buy new. Then about a year ago I read that it could be caused by the liquid detergent & to try the Tide HE powder. After the 1st load the towels I was about to get rid of smelled fresh again!!! I never went back!! I LOVE TIDE HE DETERGENT!!!! But like some others I am having a hard time finding it.

There is a huge community of cloth diapering moms who are loyal original Tide users and now very disappointed Ultra Tide users. I'm one of those dissatisfied moms.

I'm sorry you feel the Tide detergent isn’t cleaning well. Please be assured all our laundry detergents are designed to provide good overall cleaning. In addition, they all contain enzymes which help remove protein soils.Since powders and liquids have different performance strengths, I’d like to share some tips with you. If you have clay or mud type of soil, then try our powders as they work best on this type of stain. For greasy, oily solids liquid is the best. For best results: • Follow care tag instructions, using the hottest water safe for the fabric. • Sort clothes properly grouping similar colors and fabrics. • Don't overload the washer so clothes can circulate freely. • Use the recommended amount of detergent for average water hardness, a little more in very hard water, a little less in very soft water. • Use gentle cycles only when care instructions recommend it. Hope this helps!

My laundry used to have a faint moldy smell after being washed. I tried everything from cleaning tablets to using bleach with the clean cycle. Nothing worked. Then I tried the Tide HE Powder Detergent and the smell practically vanished with the first load! Tide powder HE works 100% better than liquid HE for me. The clothes smell just like they used to with the regular washer I had and they actually feel cleaner. The only problem is that the powder formula is hard to find and the store I buy it from only carries regular scent. Please send and make more powder HE scents and make bigger packages! Thanks!

Repeated blue stains
StarStarStarStarStar1/5

The new concentrated powder seems to be causing the blue dye in our clothes (even the old ones) to run and stain other clothes repeatedly. Never had this problem before with Tide HE powder. I have a front loading machine and use the correct amount in cold water. What's wrong?

06/29/2011
The Tide Team
I'm sorry you had stains. What you’re describing is unusual and I’m sharing your comments with the rest of the team. Stains may occur if the colorant in the product came into direct contact with wet fabric. This usually happens when wash water is too cold (below 60 degrees F) and product is not properly dissolved and/or placed directly on top of clothing. Please be assured, these stains are NOT permanent. The dyes in our products are water soluble and will be removed by rewashing in hottest water safe for fabric with recommended amount of same detergent. At times, you may need more than one rewashing to completely remove. If you have further questions feel free to call us at (800) 879-8433. Thanks!

I have been I tide user since I can remember. It does a wonderful job. I just wish I did not have so much trouble finding the large load boxes. I was getting at it at Walmart which is about 13 miles from me. but my last visit they were out or not did not have it. I found it at BJ's, which is about 20 miles from me. I only want powder! Why can't I get it at Costo and Sams?

Great dollar value

I like this product because it cleans clothes well in my HE machine. The packaging for the powder is good for the environment and it's economical. My only concern is that the Ultra Tide HE powder is hard to find in stores in my local area.

My clothes have been washed in Tide only since I was an infant! I'm 45! I would never even consider washing any of my husband's or any of my 3 kids' clothes in anything else. Keep up the great work!

suds error message
StarStarStarStarStar1/5

Just switched to this detergent. With the last 2 loads, I've had to unplug and reset machine due to 3 different error messages suggesting issues with too many suds and drain pump. I am questioning if it's related to the new formulation - "ultra". Will buy regular HE tomorrow.

I'm sorry you’re noticing oversudsing and I’m sharing your comments with the rest of the team. For best results, be sure to measure the detergent using the lines on the cap, NOT the washing machine dispenser. If this does not help please contact us at the 800# on the package.

I am totally disappointed in this product. I have used Tide for years. I have a soft water unit and I use more powder per load now than I ever did before. I am looking for a new wash detergent. SORRY...

Availability of He
StarStarStarStarStar4/5

I have a front loader washer and have to use He which works very well. The problem we have is the availability of He. Stores often don't carry it all the time and when it's on the shelves, their is often a limited supply. Is there another TIDE product that will operate as well? I.E. without excessive suds. He is a great product.
