The Best Detergent Out There

I've been through a few different detergents lately. Seems like every time I find one I like it ends up not working out. This was a last resort as I'm not really a fan of powder detergents. 1/3 c per regular sized load has cleaned and de stained our clothing. I doubled the amount and used hot water to soak & it stripped our towels. My laundry room smells so good. I use members mark dryer sheets as they are not overly fragrant. The two combined leave our clothes feeling soft and smelling fresh. I can't imagine using a different brand of laundry detergent after this experience. You will get your monies worth out of this product - a little goes a long way.

I love Tide original. My family has used Tide original over 65 years. I have had to adjust to the new high efficiency machines. When I wash clothes that are heavily soiled I use 2 cups. It gets that heavy metal smell out. Sometimes I soak before washing. I also use Clorox 2 or vinegar with Tide.

Bothered by new formula powder

I have used Tide original for over 15 years and the powder for at least 10. I bought the new version and the smell is so strong it aggravated my asthma. My skin is bothered by the powder too, even when I wash my hands right after scooping it. I don't know what changed but I might have to switch to something else because it's too much for me.

Thank you for your feedback on Tide Original Powder, FWallus. And thanks also for your many years of loyalty! Just so you're aware, our original powder was enhanced in April 2023 making it a concentrated powder formula to allow for lower dosing per load, while still delivering powerful cleaning results. Colors and whites also have more protection due to a new soil polymer. Because your health and safety are paramount to us, please discontinue further use and give us a call at (800) 879-8433. We'd like to gather some information on your Tide Powder carton and help you.

Just bought last box

I just bought my last box of Tide original. I started having an allergic reaction to it on my eyes and armpits. I know you changed something with scent, and who knows what else. I used it for cloth diapers and it was great. But now I'm done. I am visiting the dermatologist now for skin allergens because you messed with a staple product. Ugh. Do I recommend it? It's great if your don't react to it! And you can reach out to me via email. I won't be calling.

Tide, a Firefighter's Friend

We used Tide around the firehouse for all kinds of things when I was a firefighter. They still do. I remember when we sanded down and then painted our 1971 Mack Ladder Truck (Ladder 26). The first thing we did, before we started sanding, was wash it with 140 degree water dosed with Tide Powdered Laundry Detergent. We used dish gloves to protect our hands from the hot water. We did our laundry in it too.

Ultra Tide HE Powder Residue

Just recently purchased a new GE top load HE washer, as well as a box of the Ultra Tide HE Powder. With each load that I have washed so far with the Tide powder detergent, I have had some sort of white residue left on the item being washed, in blotches or spots. The extra rinse feature was also on. To make sure it wasn't the washer I re-ran each load individually with Tide HE with Acti-Lift liquid and the residue was gone. Mind you that both detergents are being added through the HE detergent dispenser, as well as the same wash settings being used, that also goes for wash water temperature at warm water for the wash cycle or above. Please reply with help. Could I exchange the powder with you for the liquid that seems to work?

A TRUSTED RESOURCE

I have used Tide powder for many years and have always like it; however, the current fragrance is off-putting. I remember the days when my mother used " Clothes Line Fresh " powder and I always enjoyed bedding down with the fresh, subtle scent of Tide.

okay, good to know i'm not imaging it..

opened up my new box of tide laundry powder.. ran a load, and was completely overwhelmed by the new scent!! i ran extra baking soda in the wash to try to get some of the scent out and it's kinda fine, but after a week, the entire hallway my laundry room is in smells like this new scent, and my clean towels linens that share my laundry detergent cabinet are now completely saturated with the smell too. awful! i can't imagine all this scent wafting around isn't harmful to breathe in.. at least with the old formula it smelled fresh and nice… i grew up with the original tide powder detergent and came back to using it after we bought our first house. i miss the smell of “home” i've come to associate with the old “original” formula. i honestly might have to transfer this detergent powder to some kind of sealed bucket to keep the overpowering scent from permeating through literally everything. i really, REALLY hope there will be enough complaints to bring the previous formula back. also (this is a slightly older problem), the box no longer has an overhanging lip to keep the lid closed, which is a BIG problem with using the detergent when there are curious pets around. i sure won't be in a hurry to stock up on tide powder anytime soon.. and i hope when i'm out of this terrible-smelling one in a year, we can have the original “original” scent back! otherwise, i'll be on board with others in declaring i'll be switching to another brand.

Bring back old "original" scent!!!

I have LOVED Tide powder for many years. It works better than anything and I've enjoyed the original scent. However, you have amped up the scent and it is way too strong. It lingers far too long and is no longer nice. Sadly, I will be switching to another detergent.

We understand that fragrance preferences vary from person to person, so we truly appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. Tide Powder was recently upgraded to provide a nice scent during laundry and more scent after the clothes have dried, so we're sorry to hear you're not impressed with this update. Your satisfaction means everything to us, so we'd like to help with this. Please give us a call at (800) 879-8433.

I like it!

Growing up, we never used Tide because my mom was allergic. I've used many different brands. I tried just about every treatment and remedy to get sweat stains out with no change. Even the very expensive Persil. On a whim, I tried Tide powder. Imagine my surprise when it took out the sweat stains! No pretreat or anything. I always thought Tide was overhyped but it really does work. Also took a consistent dinginess out of my white bath towels. I don't know why everyone is harping about the scent. I do not find it overpowering or offensive at all. It smells fine to me and I usually oppose heavy scents. Cheap FOCA and Ariel detergent smells way stronger and offensive to me. Tide does NOT leave a lingering odor. Only a faintly clean scent. I like Tide powder and will use it from now on.
