Ratings & Reviews for Procter & Gamble Powder Laundry Detergent HE Compatible Original Scent 129 oz Box 2 Carton

Horrible Smell

New scent is awful! If you are going to change the scent create a new label. The liquid original scent smell is overpowering so I switched to powder. Now the powder has a new "original scent" that was snuck in. When I see friends I don't want to smell what detergent they use as their cologne or perfume. Ridiculous. Don't change something that people have loved for years and years. Do these comments really get shared with the research and development departments? People are upset. Do som...

Skin irritation!

Been loosing sleep over itchy skin after using Tide for 20 years… went to the doctor and we couldn’t figure out why ive been having a allergic reaction. Googled if Tide changed their formula recently and well. Found my answer. Good job guys. You ruined and good thing and caused me physical pain. Never again.

Make Tide great again

Why did you have to go and change a good thing? I've used tide original my whole 58 years and my mother used tide original her whole 55 years before me. Please go and make Tide great again.

“New” Original Scent

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used only Tide for the last 40 plus years. It has always clean well with a light scent that doesn’t scream laundry day! I do not like the new scent at all, it lingers everywhere and I did my first load and my whole house smells of it. Sadly for the first time in 40 plus years I need to fine a new laundry soap. I have I get rid of the headache I got from the new scent first.

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 th...

Love the cleaning power, HATE the smell

I recently switched back to Tide Powder Detergent because I wasn't satisfied with my other laundry detergent and I wanted to use Tide as my overall household cleaner for washing floors, cupboards etc. Like most reviewers I was incredibly disappointed to open the box and discover that the "Original Scent" is nothing like the Tide Original that I grew up with! Old posts online suggested that Mountain Spring was the "new Original scent" but when it was available you couldn't buy it in the powder ...

Powder Comeback!

People, you need to really go back and revisit the powder especially if you have a high efficiency machine. First of all its more environmentally friendly with a cardboard box and less water in the manufacturing process. Second, have you looked at amounts? You need only a little bit. Next, it dissolves beautifully!! Now this is where I had issue in the past, I’d find some undissolved granules-but not anymore. And the smell is quite fresh and clean and not overpowering. Of course it deep cleans ...

New Formula Stinks

From the negative reviews here and other cleaning social media posts, you should seriously consider bringing back the old Original Acti-Lift formula. It's not just a laundry product to many, it's also a household cleaning product. I sure miss that good clean scent. This new Fast Dissolve "original" stinks. My clothes do not smell clean nor does my house after I mop. Please, I really don't want to switch to Gain. Please bring back the former scent.

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 us...

The one and only and now it’s garbage

I’ve had issues, sensitivity to scents, etc with many detergents but this was my go to. Load after load of the tide original powder. And now it smells like garbage and my clothes seriously seem less clean. Who does that?! Go mess with your dumb pods and leave this alone. I can barely tolerate that nasty smell. There is NO reason to pick the name brand anymore.

NEW SCENT IS AWFUL AND UNBEARABLE

Loyal user of 30 years and I’m stopping using Tide and throwing away whatever I have left. This new formula is beyond unbearable. I can’t stand the smell and My BODY is having an adverse reaction to it. It’s beyond awful.

It's not "Original" when you change it!

I can't recall when I began using tide laundry detergent. College perhaps.. It's been at least 20 years. I now have to end this relationship. One of us changed for the worst and it wasn't me. Why, why, WHY do marketing people believe successful things MUST be changed? Did sales of original tide decrease during the pandemic? Very unlikely... Anyways, the new "improved" yet unannounced change has left me with clothes smelling so strongly I cannot wear them and have to store them in my garage. The ...

Leave A Good Thing ALONE

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have been using original (boxed powder) Tide detergent for over 40 years, but I'm afraid we just can't handle this new scent anymore. My husband has been saying to me that he noticed and felt and smelled something different with our Tide and I told him it was his imagination. I have never been any fan of any scents/fragrances mostly due to my asthma, but I was used to the original (old) Tide. Our granddaughter helped us find this: Recently...

The Smell Is Horrible

I am not sure if Tide is trying to pull a “New Coke” marketing scheme, by selling a truly horrible overwhelming scent. In other words, Tide needs to bring back the original scent, a Tide “Classic” if you will. I really don’t want to go to a less effective laundry soap brand, but I must if Tide thinks that this is the correct way to go.

Why

I recently decided to go back to an old favorite and was in for a surprise. When I opened the box there was a new scent and it’s horrible. Honestly, it stinks to me and apparently a lot of other people who loved the old scent. If we want to use febreeze we could add it ourselves or offer it with the febreeze scent you like. I beg you to change it back to the original. I looovvveeeddd the way it made my clothes smell without adding all of these new additives. Listen to your customers and go back...

New Scent is Horrible!

I have been using Tide powder for 10 years - the scent was light, loved that the packaging wasn’t plastic, and my clothes always came out clean. The new scent is so overpowering and nearly impossible to get out of my clothes. As a healthcare worker who relies on neutral scents and adequate cleaning power when washing my scrubs, Tide had never let me down, until the scent was changed. I’ve had multiple patients express how strong and off putting my clothes smell, which is the last thing I want t...

Scent change is very upsetting

Every stitch of my clothing, since birth 51 yrs ago, has been washed in Tide Originsl powder. I stayed true to Tide even when I was broke in college and refused to use lesser, cheaper brands. I'm an "all natural, organic" consumer but I refuse to give up my Tide. That's how much I loved Tide. But, NOW, I'm seriously looking for another detergent because they've changed the scent and it's unbearable. The smell of freshly cleaned sheets made my family excited to go to sleep. It's pretty bad when m...

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.

If it ain’t broke don’t fix it!

To say I’m disappointed is an understatement. I have been a loyal Tide Powder Detergent user for over 20 years and recently after purchasing a box I noticed a difference in scent and thought it was a fluke until my husband purchased another box and confirmed my Suspicions. The new scent is overwhelming and the aftermath of the scent after washing is not the same. Tide powder detergent is the reason I loved doing laundry and made it one of my favorite chores to do now that is all gone. Please go ...

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 sc...
