When I open the box, it smells great once my first load was done. I totally hate the smell on it, I wouldn't recommend it. I would go for tide & downy powder detergent.

The detergent performed well, and I appreciated the powder format. However, the smell was so strong it was making me cough and gag while putting away my cleaned laundry, and this was after extra vinegar and water rinses! I'm not prone to allergies etc either, but this was overwhelming and won't buy it again solely because of the smell.

Tide Oxi is the best! I use it for my color towels. It gets them squeaky clean and brightens them, too. I use it to clean all around my home. It cuts grease like nothing else!! Vent hoods, fryers, floors etc. All my white dish towels and washcloths white and absorbent. I also used it to clean old bottles that had been outside. It dissolves soap scum . I do have to stir to dissolve it in hot water or it will form "rocks" and not dissolve. That probably has something to do with all the calcium it binds "softening" the water. It has a strong, clean scent, like pure washing soda on steroids.

I bought this product based on a podcast laundry recommendation. They said it was mildly fragrant. To me the fragrance is overpowering. My downstairs bathroom, where the laundry is , now smells like this product and I am not a fan. It may work great, but why on earth wouldn't Tide make an unscented version? Going to wrap this up in plastic and store in the basement and see if someone else can use it. Really was a waste of my money.

I've been a Tide powder fan for well over 20 years and this is the worst version I've ever used. The smell is overpowering and even after a heavy-soil wash cycle, the clothes still have a strong scent to them. It makes me wonder how much residue the detergent is actually leaving on the clothes. We immediately stopped using it and are now searching for a new brand. To anyone with sensitivity to strong scents/smells, keep your windows open if you end up using this version! @Tide, please dial down on the scent. Your team added too much.

Even with warm water, it doesn't consistently dissolve, even in warm or hot water, in all size loads. It leaves blue and white marks on clothes. This happens in two types of washer we have in the house -- one is a top loader and one is front loader. We use less than the recommended powder too. I ended up throwing the rest of the box out in the trash. I don't want to use liquid or pods. I'm try to be more environmentally friendly. I've had Pods not dissolve either (even in long hot settings but that's for another review).

I grew up using “natural” laundry detergents, but have recently done a ton of research about laundry (we use cloth diapers), and learned many natural detergents don’t have enzymes (or less effective ones). We did some experiments of our own but mostly relied on wirecutter and cloth diaper cleaning experts to discover this is a really effective detergent! Tide has it figured out. We prefer powder detergents because of cardboard packaging and heavily soiled laundry. This is the best!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Tide works better than any other laundry detergent, no doubt. I use it for cloth diapers as well and it works great. The only downside is the scent is extremely strong when you open the box, and some of the ingredients are known to cause lung, skin and eye irritation. I dont know why those have to be there. Seems unnecessary. If they could make a Tide powder free and clear version, I would buy it!

I’ve been using pods for quite a while but now I have found out that the reason I can I rinse my clothes out is there’s too much sun is from the pods. This is much better a quarter of a cup full load test results never go back to pods again.

I absolutely LOVE this powder detergent it is by far the BEST! It's the ONLY detergent I don't need to add anything to it, it already removes stains,cleans perfectly and best of all it smells AMAZING! I don't need to add ANY softener it's just the best of the best... BUT it unfortunately doesn't come in anything but a small 35 load box and isn't worth the money for that size. This is such ashame and honestly makes me sooo angry! I've looked for YEARS and have tried EVERY brand soap combo and have NEVER found anything I was set and satisfied on until Powdered Tide w/Oxi and now I can't even use it PLEASE OFFER THIS IN A LARGER SIZE BOX PLEASE! I NEED THIS IN MY LIFE
