I’ve been using these Spring Meadow Tide pods which I purchase in bulk from a warehouse store for years. This last batch has a horrendous smell like rotting fish. The smell remains in my washer, dryer and on my clothing long after the laundry is done. I’m sorry to say I will be switching to a new brand.

Living in an apartment complex with shared laundry in the basement it’s much easier to carry a laundry pod down rather than a whole bottle of detergent but I normally need to use two pods per load to properly clean everything, especially my husbands workout clothes

My wife and I thought something was wrong with our washing machine. Our clothes kept having a fish like odor, like the fish oil we put on our dogs food. We thought there may have been a spill or contamination that got into the washing machine, so we tried a different load in our downstairs washing machine and the same odor! After some Google searching and reading other reviews it is the tide pods that smell! We switched to a different brand detergent and all is better. How could this pass quality assurance?

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using these tide pods for almost 8 years now! I love that they are not messy and keep my clothes fresh and clean. They are so convenient and smell great. Would definitely continue to purchase.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Tide Pods are a really great laundry option. It's super convenient and it definitely helps to reduce the accidental over use of detergent (this leads to that funky smell, according to my washing machine technician). The scent of the Spring Meadow product is nice and light, and it's not over powering. I also like that there are great child-proofing used on the packaging.

My husband is allergic to all soaps other then Tide, and tide is proven to be the best cleaner of our clothing then any other. I have washed his work clothes in other cleaners and would run them through Tide again and it took Tide to get them clean.

I have been using Tide for years. I love the tide pods because they are just so convenient. Tide has always done an excellent job with cleaning my clothes and I have always liked the scents that they offer. Spring Meadow is one of my favorites. Highly recommend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Tide is Tide!, that's why I allow myself to demand more! It is one of the best detergents I have ever used, and I would expect no less from the giant that makes it.... But as I said, I think there are details that could be improved. First the type of packaging they use could be more environmentally friendly, something that is biodegradable and / or easy to recycle, I check everywhere the bag and I can't find the recycling symbol anywhere. I tried it with white clothes and my kitchen towels and got results that didn't surprise me much... the small stains came out without much difficulty, however, deeper stains did not. As for the fragrance, it should be better fixed on all types of fabrics and last longer. I hate opening the packaging, I know it's designed to be childproof, but it's very difficult for me to open it, in fact, once I do, I transfer it to another container.I know maybe it's not the kind of review I was hoping to get, but I wasn't expecting to try one more detergent, I was expecting P&G to outdo itself and it didn't for me. P&G is a giant that can offer more to us and to the environment.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Tide has been a family favorite ever since I was a child. It has definitely improved over the years and it's still the one I use today. Works great on stains and smells amazingly fresh. I definitely recommend this product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Know what's better than spring cleaning after a long winter? Spring scented laundry pods for makings your bedding smell fresh and ready for spring or summer. They clean great and gives a boost to your spirit for no more snow shoveling for a few months. The sent helps put a giddy up in your step. Sorry winter can be a drag and the smell of spring without pollen is just to much of an temptation.
