Bring back the old formula

I’m reviewing based on the old formula, Tide Ultra Sport. My review for the new formula would not be so generous. The new Tide Plus Sport Odor Defense is not the nearly the same as the old formula. Please bring back the scent and formula from the Tide Ultra Sport. The scent lasted forever, even while wearing the clothes, and it smelled AMAZING! I would hug my husband extra long, just to smell his shirt. The other Tide liquid Detergents do not compare when it comes to scent, especially long lasting scent.

Bring back Tide Plus Febreze Sport Odor Defense!!!

Please bring back Tide Plus Febreze Sport Odor Defense!!!!! The “new and improved” doesn’t smell good at all and it doesn’t clean well or take odors out of clothing. It just covers them up with an awful scent. The Tide Plus Febreze Sport Odor Defense has an amazing smell, gets rid of all odors, and cleans well. I just pulled a shirt out of my closet that I haven’t worn in quite some time (over a month for sure) and had washed it with the Tide Plus Febreze and it still smells amazing! The scent lasts a long long time and I’m always happy when I find something I had washed with it. Please bring it back. Your new and improved is awful and junk.

BRING IT BACK - HATE NEW ULTRA SPORT

Please bring back plus Febreeze Sport. Your new Ultr a Sport version Does Not clean as well and the fragrance is Not the same at all and disappears the next day. We hate the Ultra version and stop trying to cheapen your products and marking them New as if it us an upgrade. We will never buy Tide again unless you bring back the real Sport version.

The nee Sport doesn’t do it

Please bring back the original scent. There are only a few things I do not waiver on and this was one. I talked people into switching to Tide because of the signature sent of the Sport and it’s gone. I loved that no matter where you were that fresh powerful smell was with you. I overlooked every other brand and stopped shopping at stores that did not carry Tide Sport and now it does not hold that same powerful clean and smell. I may have to go back to gain if this doesn’t change soon. I paid extra for the satisfaction of that scent because it carried me through the entire day. This is disappointing.

The scent is so strong, I can't use it.

I wanted to like this detergent. I go to the gym 5-6 times a week and wanted something to get the sweat smell out of my workout gear. I saw this so I thought I'd try it. I am wearing clothes washed in it now and can't stand it. I think I would honesly prefer the sweat smell over this highly perfumed scent. It's going back to the store after only using it twice. My clothes don't even feel like they've been washed.

Thank you for sharing your feedback regarding Tide Plus Febreze Sport. We genuinely appreciate your input and understand how important it is to find a detergent that meets your needs, especially for your workout gear. We recognize that scent preferences can vary greatly among individuals. The Tide Plus Febreze Sport is formulated to provide a fresh scent while effectively removing tough odors, including those from sweat.

Bring back the old formula

Bring back the old formula (the one pictured is no longer in stores). Bought this recently (Tide Sport without the Febreze symbol) and it is horrible. Does not clean my clothes as well and no lingering scent. The old formula made my clothes smell like fresh apples, and the scent lasted until I wore the item, no matter how long. I hang dry my pants and now they just smell sour after they dry. Horrible. Will not be buying this anymore.

Don't like the new re-branding! Not the same, not the same smell or cleaning abilities. 😕 What were you thinking! You had something perfect and you went and messed it all up! This is new coke all over again...... FIX IT AND STOP TOUCHING THINGS THAT WORK! Who ever advised you to do this, FIRE them! They are a joke! Much like this new re branding! 😠 😡 😤

Perfume absolutely reels

They were out of original Tide so I picked up ultra sport. This product obviously covers up rather than removes stank. The perfume on my sheets was so strong I was woken up repeatedly.

This Tide Sport is an imposter

It cleans good, but this is supposed to be Tide Sport. Scent has changed. Automatic overall 1 star.
