We're sorry to hear you didn't like the scent, Julie, 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.
