Ratings may include incentivized customer reviews.
What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise the exceptional cleaning power and convenience, with most highlighting effective stain removal, cold water performance, and the no-mess, no-measuring design that simplifies laundry. However, scent divides reviewers sharply—many love the fragrance as fresh and long-lasting, while a substantial group finds it unpleasant and reports it lingers persistently on clothes. A few mention pods not fully dissolving in warm water. Despite polarized scent opinions, most customers consider the cleaning performance and ease of use worthwhile.

Would Not RecommendAlmost went and bought a new washer as I couldn't get rid of that nasty odor. On a whim I tried Gain and low it's gone!! Now I googled this and find all these customers with the same issue. Not me Tide it's you!! A refund would be lovely!!!

I DO NOT like the altered Spring Meadows scent!
Would Not RecommendYou 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.

The scent is awful
Would Not RecommendThis is my first time trying the spring meadows scent and the second I opened the washer I knew I made a mistake. It puts off an awful fishy wet dog like smell. So disappointed as I got a huge box.

P.U. Whyyy????
Would RecommendI have forever loved this scent. I used it on vacation and it has forever reminded me of taking that trip. I stopped using it for awhile but longed for that scent. I went back to it and its absolutely horrible, sour fishy stink. I thought maybe it was a bad batch but after reading these reviews Im so disappointed with tides choice to modify this scent. Chat, WHAT ARE WE USING NOW?

horrible smell
Would Not RecommendThis isn't just an unpleasant smell, it reeks of chemicals. Almost a fishy smell. Absolutely awful. And after just one wash, the smell is everywhere in the house. You need to recall this - there is no way this is not a defective product. I'm hoping I can get the smell out of my clothes because there is no way I can wear something that smells like this.

Original scent or no tide products
Would Not RecommendReading your reviews, you need to higher some different researchers, everyone wants that good smell fresh out the dryer, not your weird experiment with some chemicals and friction , spring meadows used to my favorite smell of all laundry detergent, now you broke the wheel and even those cheap eco sheets smell better than this, I'm not buying this or other tide products until you bring the original formula back, I don't care if your research show people like longer lasting scents, you didnt do th...

Pod doesn’t dissolve in the wash
Would Not RecommendI’ve been using tide most of my life my mother and grandmother used tide, but the pods do not dissolve in warm water. It melts part way and then sticks to your cloths and you have to wash them again. I will go back to using a liquid detergent. Signed very dissatisfied.

Don’t buy!
Would Not RecommendIf I could give zero stars I would! Why change the formula when nothing was wrong. I was always told ‘If it’s not broken don’t fix it’. Will be throwing the entire container of the Spring Meadow pods away after only using one. The new formula smells horrible! So disappointed I have to find a new laundry soap. Please change the formula back.

Smells like fish oil!
Would Not RecommendMy wife and I thought something was wrong with our washing machine. Our clothes kept having a fish like odor, like the fish oil we put on our dogs food. We thought there may have been a spill or contamination that got into the washing machine, so we tried a different load in our downstairs washing machine and the same odor! After some Google searching and reading other reviews it is the tide pods that smell! We switched to a different brand detergent and all is better. How could this pass qualit...

Smell is awful - chemical smell
Would Not RecommendThey smell like chemicals. I cannot douse my clothes in enough fabric spray to make the scent of the pods go away. What a nightmare to possibly have ruined two full loads of clothing. Switching brands.

Fish!
Would Not RecommendI couldn’t figure out where the fish smell in my washer was coming from, untill I bought these pods again and opened the container and got a nose full of fish smell. I was hoping it was the plastic container, but I put on a shirt today that I hung dry after washing and it has that icky fish smell! Why!?

New scent is terrible
Would Not RecommendI have purchased these pods for years but I had to find another brand after the scent was changed. After seeing all of the reviews you know it is not user error. Please bring back the original scent. I don’t understand how losing all of these customers is really worth keeping the new gross scent

Spring Meadow Scent? Not Where I Come From.
Would Not RecommendWow. Shocked and surprised. This product should have never gotten out of the development phase in this condition. If there were truth in advertising, this product would have been called Fish Oil Factory Scented. I have been using Tide products for decades. They are (were) the gold standard for quality in my opinion. When the clothes comes out of the washing machine smelling worse than they went it, you have an issue. A big issue. When your recommended solution on this site suggests that th...

Smells Gross!
Would Not RecommendI bought a large package of 112 pods. My laundry was smelling so bad after washing and finally figured out it is the pods. The smell is embedded in the clothes and I can’t get it out. It almost smells like fish. Very disappointing. I hope they rectify this formula soon

Awful Smell
Would Not RecommendI usually buy tide pods to wash. I recently bought a large quantity of 4 packs in 1 of tide pods and its smells terrible. The first time I washed one load of laundry the clothes smelt so bad I thought I forgot to add the tide pod and re-washed it with another pod. Then I realised that the pods no longer smell the same. It used to have a fresh clean smell. Now it smells like dirty sweat. And my clothes aren't sweaty. If this formulation remains I will switch to a different brand. I like the smell...

Smell
Would Not RecommendThis was the worst thing I have ever bought bc the smell is so bad. I will never buy this again or even shop from this brand. It ruined all my clothes and the smell doesn’t go away, and I’ve smelled it in my room for weeks even after rewashing my laundry load twice. DONT buy it, the other reviews are right and I wish I read those before I made the worst investment ever.
