We're sorry to hear you didn't like the scent, and we understand that the scent of the product on the clothes is a personal preference. It could be that incorrect dosage could be the cause of too much scent remaining after the wash, so we recommend using less. If you use a fabric softener, this can also affect the scent left on the clothes after the wash. Be sure that you're using the correct amount of product compared to load size/dirt levels, and if you are concerned about the scent on your clothes, try re-washing in another product or variant. Each variant (i.e. tablets, liquid, powder, liquitabs) has a different perfume, so trying a different form may help. We'd like to learn more to help further, so please give us a call when you can at 1-800-879-8433, M-F 9am-6pm EST.

We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and giving us the opportunity to help, Margaret! Tide products go through extensive testing to ensure they get your fabrics clean effectively, so please know that this isn&#39;t the experience we want or expect you to have. <br /><br />If the Tide PODS™ are leaving excess residue on your clothing or not dissolving correctly, this is typically due to incorrect dosing. For best results, be sure to always place the Pod in the back of the drum before the garments, and always follow the instructions listed on the container to make sure you&#39;re using the detergent as intended. <br /><br />Additionally, soaking the affected garments overnight in warm water, and then rewashing the next morning on the hottest temperature permitted by the items care label with no laundry detergent should remove any leftover residue from the PODS.<br /><br />In the meantime, we&#39;d love to learn more about your experience and help you find the right detergent for you. Please give us a call at (800) 879-8433, any time from 9:00AM-6:00PM EST Monday-Friday, so we can help!
