Love the product, hate the smell

I've suffered from chronic migraines for years, which are triggered and exacerbated by perfumed products, including detergents, and so have used fragrance-free detergents for a long time. A couple of years ago, I was so happy to find that I could tolerate the light, pleasant fragrance of Tide Original Powder, and have used it ever since! However, I opened my latest box and have been so disappointed in the change that's been made to the fragrance. I find it extremely cloying, and I'm concerned that I won't be able to use it if it triggers migraine headaches for me. Please consider going back to the previous formula. Thank you.

We're sorry to hear that you're not a fan of this upgraded scent, but please know this isn't normal since we do many tests to get these changes just right. However, you can be assured that this detergent is safe when used as instructed, but we know how important it is for you to not experience migraines, so we'd love to share more about our other products you may love, and learn more about your experience.

Powder detergent off scent

I changed back to powder after advised that it would prevent build up of mold in my front load washer door that the liquid detergent produces. The smell is very off setting, not like the original. It did prevent mold build up as was my original goal. Thinking I just got a bad box I bought a second smaller box. Same smell. Very deceiving saying original scent when clearly it had changed. Time to change brands. Very disappointing. If you go back to your original formula, I will be a returning customer.

Traci, thank you so much for using our Tide Original Powder. We're sorry that the scent wasn't to your liking. Earlier this year, we enhanced our concentrated powder formula to allow for lower dosing per load, while still delivering powerful cleaning results. Colors and whites will have more protection due to a new soil polymer. While scent preferences will vary from person to person, your feedback is appreciated, and we'd like to ensure your voice is heard. Please call us at (800) 879-8433.

If you're a fan

If you're a fan of #GoCleanCo then you know how magical powdered Tide is. It works so much better than liquid laundry detergent or the pods. The liquid laundry detergent is diluted with so much unnecessary water that it doesn't have the same type of strength as powdered tide. It may seem old school but make the switch! Trust me! #BleachPrayLove

Tide Original Powder is one of the most used cleaning agents in our house at this point. We use it not only for laundry, but for mopping the floors, and cleaning other upholstered items. It is a very affordable option for the various uses it provides and for the efficiency. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a new detergent or cleaning option.

Horrible smell!

After reading all these bad reviews on the new "original" Tide, I now realize it's not in my head, it's the Tide!! Why would you change a scent that's been around and loved by so many for decades with a scent that is overwhelming, sickening, and headache-inducing to a LOT of people??!! So many of the reviewers also say that they've used Tide for years with no allergic reactions, but suddenly with the new "original" formula, they're having suddenly having allergic reactions. You keep saying "we put a lot of research into creating something everyone will like," "your satisfaction/safety is important to us," "use Tide Pods Mountain Spring scent, which is similar to the original scent," blah, blah, blah, on and on. Who are all these people you performed research with?? You didn't ask for my input, and it's obvious from most of the reviews about the new smell/formula, you didn't ask them for their input either! Instead of changing up something that's been a great, reliable staple product for us and past generations for so long, why not just, ya know, create a new fragrance/formula, and keep the REAL original fragrance/formula on the shelf as an option instead of replacing it with some inferior product. Let the people decide if they want to switch to the new smell and formula, and those of us who have depended on the REAL original product can keep using what we've known and loved for so long. The people have spoken! Please listen to us!! You are losing customers right and left over this. Is it worth it? Do you even care, or are we just a number??

TIDE

There are so many Tide laundry detergents that it's dizzying to sort them out. I saw a favorable review of Tide ULTRA Stain Release in Consumer Reports but couldn't find it locally. Amazon to the rescue! My dingy favorite white t-shirt came out sparkling! I'm not saying this detergent will remove every single stain, but it worked better than two other Tides I had been using (Coldwater Clean and Hygienic Clean). A satisfied customer! And I had no problem with the shipping: no drips, no cracked lid, and no tape involved.

Please return to original "original" scent

I've loved using Tide powder for more than just my laundry, but now I am in search for a new all-purpose cleaner. The newly formulated Original scent is extremely unpleasant and it lingers in the clothes when I wash them. I am wasting money and electricity and time because I am running an extra rinse/spin cycle on all my clothes to help minimize the smell (this works a little bit). If Tide listens to its customers and scraps this scent, this once-loyal customer will come back.

I had been using Tide for at least 30 years. When you switched the original scent quite a few years ago, at least the Mountain Spring smelled like the original and I stayed with Tide. Then you switched the Mountain Spring scent, so I switched to scent free (after I used up all the old mountain spring scented liquid I had stored up.) I find the scent free pods do not clean as well. I have to use more pods than recommended to get the clothes clean. Recently, I stayed at my daughter's house. She uses the current tide original pods. I couldn't fall sleep because the sheets smelled so strongly of the detergent. And, it gave me a bad headache. I washed the sheets multiple times with scent free but could not get the smell out of the sheets. Why haven't companies learned from the Coke disaster. Don't change the formula of a popular product. Now I have to look for detergent from another company.

Your safety and satisfaction are of the utmost important to us. We're so sorry to hear about this, and with the numerous quality and safety checks we have in place, this isn't something we'd expect. We recommend using our Tide Power PODSâ„¢ FREE Hygienic Clean Heavy Duty. There's a high level of surfactants, polymers, enzymes and chelants to deliver a deep down hygienic clean. We take reports like this seriously, and we'd love to hear from you about this, and share more about those Tide PODSâ„¢. We can be reached at (800) 879-8433.

The Nose Knows

I am a big fan of Tide products. I usually use Pods but in effort to save water used in Pods, I switched to Original powder. My complaint is that it does not have that Original Scent smell. It lacks a smell. Tide original would fill our laundry room with a wonderful scent before. I do like the efficiency with cleaning our laundry. I am thankful that has not changed. Glad to read your team is working on this. Meanwhile I will hang in there.

We’re sorry to hear this and will share your thoughts with our Quality Team! It may be helpful to know that the number of pacs necessary to achieve a stronger scent depends on the load size. Adding an extra pac should provide you with the results you're looking for!

I use tide powder

I use tide powder for everything except my kids laundry! Need to mop the floor? Tide powder! Need to clean the tub? Tide! Mix it with water and a little bleach and BOOM better than any other cleaning products. My laundry gets clean and the scent isn't too strong.
