What Customers Are Saying

The product has an overpowering, unpleasant scent that many customers find cloying and resembling toilet cleaner. The strong fragrance lingers excessively on clothes and throughout the home, causing headaches and allergic reactions for some users. Customers express strong nostalgia for the previous, more subtle and pleasant scent they were accustomed to. There is a widespread plea for the manufacturer to revert to the original, classic scent that customers have come to expect and appreciate over the years.

New scent is very strong, similar to Gain

Would Not Recommend

I have used for Tide for years. Disappointing that such an overpowering, new scent has been incorporated. If we don't get accustomed to it when this box runs out, we will have to look for alternatives.

The fragrance is overpowering now

Would Recommend

I am beyond disappointed. I have used Tide Powder for decades and always loved that the scent was fresh but not overwhelming as we tend to be sensitive to added fragrance. Well, I was horrified when I opened and used a new box of Tide that I had been buying all along. It is so strong and the scent lingers on the clothes that it is making us sick! I bought a new box thinking, hoping, it was fluke. Nope, same. Ugh- we won't be able to use Today anymore due to this significant change. I am so upset...

Missing the distinct Tide Original Scent

Would Not Recommend

I wanted to switch back to tide powder as I have fond memories of the Original Scent my grandmother used to use. After purchasing and realizing the smell had changed, I did some digging around to find Tide changed their scent a couple years back. This new smell is awful. I’m switching back to Purex.

BRING BACK THE ORIGINAL SCENT

Would Not Recommend

Tide has been my tried and true for some time now. It has been the only detergent to actually keep my clothes clean and fresh, without terrible fragrance that negatively impacted my skin. I also use it to clean my home, my car, my shoes...literally everything. The most recent scent change to the powdered tide was a terrible decision - it smells like a wannabe Gain laundry detergent - just too over powering and off putting. I appreciate that it cleans well, however, I just cannot smell this a...

Awful new formula

Would Not Recommend

You have changed the formula in September of 2021, again, without letting the consumer know. The smell is SO OBNOXIOUS it makes the whole house stink. When you changed the formula years back it was bad enough but this is just ridiculous. WHAT is wrong with your "original" formula?

Died all the way

Died all the way always use it always well, even for mopping my floor it’s the best with some hot water

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

Powder tide is just

Powder tide is just as good as the liquid. I initially made the switch to be more environmentally friendly since there is no plastic. But I found that the powder was on average cheaper and stronger than the liquid. Works best in warm or hot and longer cycles, but I have done 30 minute delicate cycles with it and there was no residues on my clothes. I like to mix it with oxiclean for a really powerful presoak.

There is no better clean than Tide clean. The smell has some what changed over to years in my opinion but the cleaning power is still unmatched.

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.

Tide, a Firefighter's Friend

Would Not Recommend

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.

I use this for

I use this for way more than laundry. Mix in hot water with a little bleach and it is the best multi-purpose householder cleaner ever. Tubs, tile floors, walls, counters, etc it will clean anything! Cuts through kitchen grease easily!
