What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise the exceptional cleaning power and fresh scents, with most reporting clothes come out noticeably cleaner and smelling amazing. The convenience factor dominates feedback—reviewers highlight the simplicity of tossing one in with no measuring or mess, saving time and effort. The Spring Meadow scent is frequently lauded as delightful and long-lasting. A small number mention dissatisfaction with specific scents or occasional incomplete dissolution in cold water, but these concerns represent a tiny fraction of overwhelmingly positive sentiment. Most customers consider the combination of effective cleaning and ease of use worth repeat purchases.

Smells so GROSS >> Like FISH

Would Not Recommend

I thought I was losing my mind as I couldn't believe this "Spring Meadow" named detergent smelled so BAD. The PODs smell like FISH and so do my clothes after washing :( Now that I read other reviews saying the same thing, I hope you stopped making it.

Smells so bad

Would Not Recommend

I have never been put off by the scent of laundry detergent before but I can’t believe how bad this smells. Even my husband hates it and makes him sneeze a ton. Otherwise cleans well with very little product.

Gets EVERYTHING clean ON COLD incl rugs

Would Recommend

This stuff is unbelievably good! I used to think that I had to wash on hot-hot. As hot as possible... Instead, I found out that if I wash on cold with this stuff, all gets wayyyyy cleaner. I do use a front loader at my son's place. A big one. And I can run it for 1 hour or more with extra water. I do a ton of laundry because I run an Airbnb. The laundry never stops. Additionally, I found out that EVEN the long runners with rubber under mat, can be put in the front loader and come out loo...

Worst fragrance ever

Would Not Recommend

I have used Tide pods for years and have been very happy with them however the Spring Meadow fragrance is terrible, I gag going into the laundry room while washing. My daughter and I actually fought over who had to use them! Unfortunately I bought a large box so I'm stuck with them.

So disappointed

Would Not Recommend

I have been using Tide all my adult life. My family has always loved the smell of our clothes. The last few years the smell has changed. We are all changing our detergent. The smell is offensive. I have tried pods and other tide sense and they are all bad. Missing my tide. Susan Gardner

Smells like fish

Would Not Recommend

I’ve tried adding Lysol rinse, oxygen booster, etc; in hopes of salvaging these pods. They stink so bad. Previous reviews show the manufacturer is aware of this. It’s not my washer, and I’m a competent adult who has been washing clothing for years. Please do not offer a condescending excuse for a lack of quality control.

Chemical smell

Would Not Recommend

Our laundry has a strong chemical smell after using these pods. We didn’t know what was causing the smell initially, but after rewashing our laundry with a different detergent and then using these pods later on new laundry and reading other reviews, it’s clear this is caused by the pods. We are wasting money on pods, time and money on the re-washes. We have been lifelong Tide customers, very disappointing.

Love Tide, but new scent is nauseating

Would Not Recommend

I usually use the Original Scent Tide, which i love. On a whim, I got the Spring Meadow scent and was immediately blown away by the stench of what I describe smells like rancid raw oysters with undertones of sweet chemical gag. It's not my machine, as the stench came directly from the container. I've never felt literal nausea from the scent of detergent, but...yikes.

Horrible Smell - not a "Spring Meadow"

Would Not Recommend

I wish I could take this back to where I purchased it. I loathe this new "Spring Meadow" smell. This does not smell anything like it should. I have used Tide for years. But this....... HORRIBLE. Not fresh at all and almost makes me nauseous. It is too expensive to just buy something else. UGGGGG.

I DO NOT like the altered Spring Meadows scent!

Would Not Recommend

You took a good thing and ruined it! I used to love how my clothes smelled after washing them! Now they smell like they need to be washed again right after coming out of the washer. Please take a page from Coke and give us back our original formula. I won't be buying these again unless that happens. I will have to find an alternative that smells better.
