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.

ORIGINAL TIDE

Would Recommend

The original had peroxide as a content. Peroxide produces a tremendous amounts of oxygen. Smelt excellent, but dangerous in an enclosed automatic machine due to chance of explosion by spark.

Bring back the ORIGINAL original scent, PLEASE!

Would Not Recommend

There’s nothing quite like the smell of fresh, clean laundry, and for years, Tide’s original scent was the gold standard—a nostalgic reminder of home, comfort, and simpler times. My mother and grandmother were loyal Tide users, and I’ve followed in their footsteps for years. Recently, at 52, I decided to go back to Tide, expecting that familiar scent from my childhood in the ’70s and ’80s. To my disappointment, I discovered that the “original scent” has been changed—possibly back in 2020? Unfor...

Smells horrible

Would Not Recommend

I have used powder Tide for years. I decided to switch it up and buy the Mountain Spring scent which I have used in the past and enjoyed. Not any more. My clothes smell like they have been sitting in a barn. Kind of a stale lawn clippings scent with a slight animal potty smell. Not overwhelmingly strong but still not pleasant. I am switching to a different brand of detergent just to get that smell out of my clothes.

Would Recommend

Best detergent. Works well on all kinds of stains. I just have one problem with it. I throw away every cup I purchase after the first one. This wastes Tide's money and is damaging to the environment. Sell the cups in every fifth box and label those boxes. Or you can sell the cups separately with a coupon to purchase them free with the purchase of a box of detergent.

Fire Your Marketing Department

Would Not Recommend

This is one of many examples of where marketing departments in order to justify their existence will look to make changes based on “data“ and “surveys” only to find, after re-tooling, it was a huge mistake. I agree with the other reviewer‘s protesting the changes to the original Tide.

Huge mistake

Would Not Recommend

I can’t believe we are still begging you to change the scent back to it’s REAL original. What a huge mistake you have made to change the scent. You have lost so many customers. So so sad.

Would Not Recommend

Last year's Tide had 183 load per box. This year's Tide has 143 loads per box. But they are the same box and weight. Please answer, this drives me nuts.

Nothing works better!

Would Recommend

In the interest of saving money and reducing plastic waste, I decided to try the old fashioned powdered Tide. People may say that newer is better, but you can't beat an original. I had used liquid detergents in the past but even using the bare minimum never seemed to get my clothes fully clean. Using just the minimum amount of Tide powder knocks stains out and leaves my clothes looking cleaner than before. The smell isn't overpowering either which is great. I live in a third floor walk up a...

Terrible recurrent vaginitis from new formula

Would Not Recommend

Count me among the many people here stating that they suffered health problems from the new formula. I had symptoms similar to UTIs, BV, and/or yeast for several months but test after test came back negative. I thought I was going insane. Turned out to be my laundry detergent and resolved as soon as I switched.

Horrible smell!

Would Not Recommend

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 p...

Needs Adjustments

Would Not Recommend

The blue dye is unnecessarily dark. The scent is heavy and reminds one of low-quality discounted brands. The formula causes itching and other skin irritation. Please consider changing the formula to include less dye, more appealing scent, and less harsh chemicals.

ITCHY, STINKY PRODUCT

Would Not Recommend

I had been a devoted, faithful Cheer Powder user for my entire adult life (over 40 years) until a group of intelligent individuals at the parent company decided to end it's advertising and, later, stop producing it entirely (way to go, people). My grandmother had been a Tide Original Powder user for many decades. In years past, Tide Original was my backup brand for periods of time when Cheer Powder wasn't available. Recently, I bought a box, expecting the same old Tide Original that I grew up...

"Original" Fraud

Would Not Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Tide has made changes to the original formula over the past couple years. Consumer driven marketing supposedly drove this company to change a decades old product which was FIRST in the consumer's eyes for many years. Changes in ingredients to enhance its cleaning effectiveness is a different discussion than changing the smell of the original product. In my humble opinion, ORIGINAL should be removed from the box and product label. It is misl...

Bothered by new formula powder

Would Not Recommend

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.

Tide laundry powder

Would Recommend

I have found tide liquid and other liquids don't clean as well as tide powder and not as cost efficient. I was going thru a giant bottle of liquid a week. This is a scam. Don't cancel the powder It works better and is more cost efficient
