Great but...
StarStarStarStarStar4/5

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
StarStarStarStarStar2/5

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
StarStarStarStarStar1/5

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.

What happen to the size.
StarStarStarStarStar4/5

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!
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

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 apartment with laundry in the basement so the box being light weight is a bonus. I use warm water in a top loading HE washer and there's no clumping at all. If you are looking for a budget friendly detergent that actually works, look no further than the original Tide.

Terrible recurrent vaginitis from new formula
StarStarStarStarStar1/5

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.

06/19/2024
The Tide Team
We're so sorry to hear you've had this experience, and are so glad you're feeling better. Please know, our products have many safety checks in place to ensure they're safe to use as directed. We would recommend you discontinue using the Tide Original Powder detergent, as you've mentioned you've already done. In 2023, we did make some changes to the formula to concentrate the powder to allow for lower dosing per load, while still delivering powerful cleaning results, however. So that we can help you further, please give us a call at (800) 879-8433.

Horrible smell!
StarStarStarStarStar1/5

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 put a lot of research into creating something everyone will like," "your satisfaction/safety is important to us," "use Tide Pods Mountain Spring scent, which is similar to the original scent," blah, blah, blah, on and on. Who are all these people you performed research with?? You didn't ask for my input, and it's obvious from most of the reviews about the new smell/formula, you didn't ask them for their input either! Instead of changing up something that's been a great, reliable staple product for us and past generations for so long, why not just, ya know, create a new fragrance/formula, and keep the REAL original fragrance/formula on the shelf as an option instead of replacing it with some inferior product. Let the people decide if they want to switch to the new smell and formula, and those of us who have depended on the REAL original product can keep using what we've known and loved for so long. The people have spoken! Please listen to us!! You are losing customers right and left over this. Is it worth it? Do you even care, or are we just a number??

Needs Adjustments
StarStarStarStarStar1/5

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
StarStarStarStarStar1/5

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 with and had been known to enjoy in years past. I couldn't use it -- had to give it to a neighbor (who has since thrown it out -- can't use it, either). The smell is now strong and offensive compared to the true, old school Tide Original and it makes us itch really bad. I read the directions to ensure I was using the product correctly. No dice. That stuff is just plain awful. Again, way to go: First, you discontinue Cheer Powder and now you've ruined my backup detergent, as well....

We appreciate you giving us a try and for your grandmother’s years of loyalty.

Thank you so much for sharing your comments, and we'll be sure to share that you'd like to see the past version of the Tide Original scent brought back. Please feel free to reach out to us at your earliest convenience, we'd like to collect further details from you about your experience.

"Original" Fraud
StarStarStarStarStar2/5

[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 misleading to the consumer to sell something ORIGINAL when it is not the original product, particularly with the smell. Gone are those days when using the Tide original where your clothes smelled that familiar TIDE fresh and clean. The smell is different. Some in the industry may think for the better according to consumer research, but wisdom with age and my nose tells me otherwise. Consumer demographics and target audience are changing. Perhaps younger people know better. The older consumer knows differently. Others on this review site agree. Consumer beware, this is not the TIDE of old. You aren't just imagining this different smell.

Bothered by new formula powder
StarStarStarStarStar2/5

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.

02/21/2024
The Tide Team
Thank you for your feedback on Tide Original Powder, FWallus. And thanks also for your many years of loyalty! Just so you're aware, our original powder was enhanced in April 2023 making it a concentrated powder formula to allow for lower dosing per load, while still delivering powerful cleaning results. Colors and whites also have more protection due to a new soil polymer. Because your health and safety are paramount to us, please discontinue further use and give us a call at (800) 879-8433. We'd like to gather some information on your Tide Powder carton and help you.

Tide laundry powder
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

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

New Formula
StarStarStarStarStar1/5

I have been using this product for decades. After using the new formula I have been breaking out in Eczema and hives all over my body. My face swole and I had to go to the hospital. What ever is in this new formula is perfumed and I’m very disappointed that I can no longer have a safe detergent to purchase.

We appreciate you bringing this to our attention, and we hope you are feeling much better. Please know that your safety is our highest priority, and our team has performed numerous research, and safety tests to ensure our products are safe for use.

The new scent gives me a headache!
StarStarStarStarStar1/5

I've been a loyal Tide original user for over 2 decades but the new scent is so horribly overpowering that I get a headache. I had to put my clothes back through the wash cycle without detergent TWICE just to lower the scent enough to be able to wear them.

The Tide Team
Thank you for being a part of our Tide Family for over two decades. Please know that our team is always researching, and performing safety tests to improve and ensure our products are safe. We understand that everyone has their own scent preference, and appreciate you sharing that the upgraded Tide Original Scent was too strong. If you have not done so we recommend discontinuing use if you are having a headache. The best way to remove the scent from your clothes is to re-wash your clothes with detergent or using one cup of vinegar.

Hate the scent
StarStarStarStarStar1/5

I've been using Tide Original powder for decades. A year or so ago, they changed the scent. I am allergic to perfumes, and cannot tolerate the new scent. I've seen many reviews that say the same. Bring back the original scent, and I'll return. But for now, no more Tide. :(

Powder detergent off scent
StarStarStarStarStar1/5

I changed back to powder after advised that it would prevent build up of mold in my front load washer door that the liquid detergent produces. The smell is very off setting, not like the original. It did prevent mold build up as was my original goal. Thinking I just got a bad box I bought a second smaller box. Same smell. Very deceiving saying original scent when clearly it had changed. Time to change brands. Very disappointing. If you go back to your original formula, I will be a returning customer.

12/08/2023
The Tide Team
Traci, thank you so much for using our Tide Original Powder. We're sorry that the scent wasn't to your liking. Earlier this year, we enhanced our concentrated powder formula to allow for lower dosing per load, while still delivering powerful cleaning results.

Sickening smell
StarStarStarStarStar1/5

Clothes come out smelling as if they have never even been washed! I’ve used Tide for40 years and tide changed the scent of original Tide several years ago but now the last box i opened is sickening to smell! The clothes don’t smell fresh or clean when coming out of the washer and after drying they don’t smell clean! Tide, you have already gotten rid of clean breeze scent, so I had to start using the “original” that WAS NOT original anymore. Now I’ll have to find another detergent just like everything else that’s disappeared in the last few years! No quality whatsoever!!! I don’t know who Tide is catering to now but I’m sure your loyal customers are leaving in droves!

12/03/2023
The Tide Team
Katie, there's nothing more important to us than our users safety and satisfaction. We do extensive quality and safety testing to get the scent of our products just right, and while scent preferences will vary from person to person, it should never be sickening. Of course, this powder should always give your clothes the cleaning they deserve to when used as directed too. We're so sorry that this occurred, but know this isn't something we ever expect to happen to anyone, let alone one of our loyal users for over 40 years. Luckily, our Clean Breeze scent still exists, but it's in our liquid and pod variants. Because this isn't something we take lightly, we'd like to make a report to our Quality and Safety Teams, tell you more about these other versions, and help. Please call us at (800) 879-8433.

I loved the original scent
StarStarStarStarStar1/5

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So we’ve wasted more of our hard earned money on a trusted product. I understand the need to change things but don’t continue to call it original. The new smell is horrendous. I’ve not only got a whole huge box of detergent I can’t use, I’ve also got to rehash my clothes! And search for a new detergent my husband won’t be allergic to. Stupid decision Proctor

Thank you for sharing your experience with Tide, as we always love to hear from our consumers regarding our products. We’re sorry to hear about your husband's experience with the scent, and want you to know that safety is our top priority.

Obnoxious scent
StarStarStarStarStar1/5

My family has always used tide. I wanted to go back to the original scent, but it is not the original scent. I have allergies, and the “new original” Tide irritates them and gives me a severe headache. I have also tried using the scent free tide, and the clothes don’t smell clean it all. Please go back to your original scent… It’s much better. If the scent of the original Tide remains the same, I will have to start looking for new detergent.

11/10/2023
The Tide Team
Thanks for your and your family's longtime loyalty to Tide! We want you to know that a lot of research and consumer feedback is taken into account to create detergents we believe everyone will love, so we're very sorry you had such an unpleasant experience with our new scent.

Just bought last box
StarStarStarStarStar3/5

I just bought my last box of Tide original. I started having an allergic reaction to it on my eyes and armpits. I know you changed something with scent, and who knows what else. I used it for cloth diapers and it was great. But now I'm done. I am visiting the dermatologist now for skin allergens because you messed with a staple product. Ugh. Do I recommend it? It's great if your don't react to it! And you can reach out to me via email. I won't be calling.

I’m not buying Tide ever again
StarStarStarStarStar1/5

I’m so disappointed in the new Tide scent. It smells like a cheap chemical dominated product. We are being gaslighted by efficiency experts who study environmental issues and I don’t believe they can’t do better. People like fragrance and somehow anything that brings life and joy they seem to ban- misery loves company. I’m not purchasing anymore.

So disappointed. Doesn’t work for cloth diapers.
StarStarStarStarStar1/5

I’ve been using tide powder for my cloth diapers for almost 3 years and have just needed to buy more so this is my first time using the new formula. It’s HORRIBLE! My cloth diapers are not getting clean at all. It’s frustrating when a good thing is changed and is made worse. This has been a major complaint amongst the cloth diapering community.

08/21/2023
The Tide Team
Firstly, thank you so much for being a loyal Tide Powder user. We're so sorry that someone such as yourself isn't happy with our new formulas. Whenever we make changes, we do extensive testing to the formula to improve your experience, especially when using the right amount of detergent for the load size. Your feedback is valuable, and we'd love to share your thoughts, especially the ones about the cloth diapers, with our team and help. Please call us at (800) 879-8433.

Scent is not the same!
StarStarStarStarStar3/5

I have been looking for the original scent and this isn’t it, I thought I had a bad batch so ended up buying another and sure enough it smelled the same. You guys should definitely bring back the old classic scent as it smelled fresher and not at chemically as the new one.

Please change the scent back to the original
StarStarStarStarStar1/5

I’ve tried to self adjust with the new scent but I just can’t. As much as I love tide. I’ve literally used it my whole life (36 years) ! But I can’t anymore. I’m breaking up with tide until the old original scent comes back. Seriously if it ain’t broke, why fix it?! Tide was the BEST laundry detergent hands down. No question. And then you tried to make it even better by fixing it, but you broke it. Along with my heart 😔

Scoop buried in box

I would make 1 change. It is frustrating trying to dig down thru powder to get the scoop. Can it be placed at the top. I always spill a bit searching. Thank you

Had to change the formula
StarStarStarStarStar2/5

I’ve used tide my whole life never had any issues and then all of a sudden the last batch seems like I’m highly allergic to it. I’ve changed to a diff detergent for sensitive skin and it’s helped a lot . Kinda disappointed as I loved tide.

Headache-inducing chemical smell
StarStarStarStarStar1/5

Why why why did you change the smell? Original Powdered Tide used to be one of the best products on the detergent aisle. It was my go-to for deep stain removal, whites, workout clothes and my boys’ sports uniforms. And for everything else I used Tide Pods (spring meadow.) I stock up for months so I didn’t even realize the scent had changed until this weekend. I first noticed it with my whites using the powder— the smell was so strong I thought I had mistakenly spilled some shower cleaner. For my next round I opened my tide pods and ran the cycle and realized it was the Tide. I found a package of my old pods and compared the two. The new smell is horrific. I have had to Rewash everything. Unless it changes back, I am going to have to find a new brand. You cannot wear the clothes washed in the new smell without getting a headache.

05/25/2023
The Tide Team
There's nothing more important to us than your safety and satisfaction, so we're so sorry to hear about your experience. This isn't what we expect since we have not changed the scent of our Tide PODS™ Spring Meadow. We have quality and safety checks in place, and because this isn't something we take lightly, we'd like to make a detailed report to our Quality and Safety Teams and hear your feedback about the changes to our Tide Powder.

Smells like vomit

Get the Mountain Spring powder!
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

For everyone who deplores the new "original" scent as much as I do, get the Mountain Spring powder. Seriously. It's a much lighter fragrance that just smells "clean", and isn't sickeningly sweet and cloying. No, it doesn't smell like the old "original" scent, but it definitely comes close to it.

05/11/2023
Tide
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

I started back using tide powder recently and really enjoy it the smell I love especially when using to clean the house. My only issue is that recently I am having a hard time finding tide powder in original scent. And noticed that the weight is still the same on the large box but it now says 113 loads where it used to say 102 loads. But the weight and ounces are still the same. Are you taking up the price on this size soon and trying to fool us into thinking is it is more when it is really the same?

05/06/2023
Not even close to ORIGINAL SCENT Tide!
StarStarStarStarStar3/5

What happened to the ORIGINAL Tide scent I LOVED as a kid??!!! The new scent is over-powering floral and does not come close to the REAL original!! Doing laundry is a pain - at least take me back to my childhood scent to make the task bearable!

Scent
StarStarStarStarStar1/5

Why can't you sell both scents? The original was way better. But that's just my opinion. Please bring back the original scent tide!! I love your brand and don't want to switch but I can't stand the new scent!! Please!!

It's a shame calling this "Original"
StarStarStarStarStar2/5

What happened to the scent everyone loved?? Why change a good thing? To save money. That's why. I'm sure I'm going to get a canned reply about how this was "researched a whole bunch to make sure..." blah blah, ad nauseum. Bring back the ORIGINAL "original" scent and I bet you'll see your reviews take a pretty big jump That said, I'm hugely disappointed by the latest formulation. The scent is not refreshing. It's overpowering. It's also not the original scent. It cleans fine I suppose. I stopped using it. Did I mention the scent....? Bring back the OG original please.

03/06/2023

We pride ourselves on our customer service, and we're sorry to hear you feel this way.

Please bring back the original scent

The new scent is repulsive
StarStarStarStarStar1/5

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been a loyal Tide consumer for decades, and was able to tolerate formula and scent changes in the past. This latest change however, is just awful, it doesn't smell clean just very perfumed. Family and friends say the same, that they're on the hunt for a replacement brand. Their recommendations to use fragrance free, or other scents is just aggravating. Tide now has an excessive amount of options on the shelves, why mess with the OG. I hope they go back to what the consumers want.

02/21/2023

We can't thank you enough for your longtime loyalty.

New Scent is Disgusting!

Tide Original now with a new STENCH!
StarStarStarStarStar1/5

Please fire whoever decided to change the Original Scent Tide powder to whatever horrific stench this nightmare is. My family has been using Tide since the 70's and never had a problem. Now, even after leaving the box in the garage for 2 weeks it still reeks of a chemical spill. On top of that, the smell won't leave the clothes even after repeated washings (4) without any detergent! Please go back to the Original formula and save the "updates" for other products designed for heavy smokers who live next to landfills. Also, your responses to comments are ridiculous when you read over the literally hundreds of negative reviews on this page. LISTEN TO YOUR ACTUAL CUSTOMERS!!! (And yes, I know how ridiculous it is to be shouting on a detergent review!)

02/08/2023
Scent is not pleasant
StarStarStarStarStar2/5

I really appreciate how effectively Tide cleans clothes, which is obviously the main objective for a laundry detergent. However, the scent has steadily gone downhill and that’s why I can’t rate it at 5 stars. I grew up in the 80’s/90’s and can still remember how clean and fresh my clothes smelled. The scent was not overpowering, it was lovely and had staying power. Please consider bringing back the true scent from years past that many people miss and others will grow to love too. Please!

01/27/2023
The Tide Team
Our Quality Team works hard with people like you to assure you always have a scent. We're eager to learn more, and we hope you'll call us at 1-800-879-8433. We look forward to seeing how we can help deliver you a scent your family loves!

okay, good to know i’m not imaging it..
StarStarStarStarStar2/5

opened up my new box of tide laundry powder.. ran a load, and was completely overwhelmed by the new scent!! i ran extra baking soda in the wash to try to get some of the scent out and it’s kinda fine, but after a week, the entire hallway my laundry room is in smells like this new scent, and my clean towels linens that share my laundry detergent cabinet are now completely saturated with the smell too. awful! i can’t imagine all this scent wafting around isn’t harmful to breathe in.. at least with the old formula it smelled fresh and nice… i grew up with the original tide powder detergent and came back to using it after we bought our first house. i miss the smell of “home” i’ve come to associate with the old “original” formula. i honestly might have to transfer this detergent powder to some kind of sealed bucket to keep the overpowering scent from permeating through literally everything. i really, REALLY hope there will be enough complaints to bring the previous formula back. also (this is a slightly older problem), the box no longer has an overhanging lip to keep the lid closed, which is a BIG problem with using the detergent when there are curious pets around. i sure won’t be in a hurry to stock up on tide powder anytime soon.. and i hope when i’m out of this terrible-smelling one in a year, we can have the original “original” scent back! otherwise, i’ll be on board with others in declaring i’ll be switching to another brand.

The Nose Knows
StarStarStarStarStar3/5

I am a big fan of Tide products. I usually use Pods but in effort to save water used in Pods, I switched to Original powder. My complaint is that it does not have that Original Scent smell. It lacks a smell. Tide original would fill our laundry room with a wonderful scent before. I do like the efficiency with cleaning our laundry. I am thankful that has not changed. Glad to read your team is working on this. Meanwhile I will hang in there.

01/22/2023

We’re sorry to hear this and will share your thoughts with our Quality Team! It may be helpful to know that the number of pacs necessary to achieve a stronger scent depends on the load size. Adding an extra pac should provide you with the results you're looking for!

Smells
StarStarStarStarStar1/5

You keep changing your formulas and have pushed me right out from using any of your products. You changed your original scent years ago and I could not get that scent out of my clothes. I started using the unscented that doesn’t work at all and I started mixing detergents. You have even done this with Downy. Good bye. You have lost a 35 year customer.

The new scent is just awful :(
StarStarStarStarStar2/5

Sorry, but the last box I got smells awful. I had a tiny bit left of my previous box (it lasts me forever) and low and behold I’m not crazy! They smell completely different. If you want a different scent that’s fine (although I’m not sure who would buy it!), but why lie and try to pass it off as the original scent. I won’t use it and there goes my hard earned $ :( I’m not happy w/ feeling like I got scammed, but if you ever bring back the old scent I’ll come back. Until then I’ll have to use a different product….

Tide New “Original Scent”
StarStarStarStarStar1/5

Tide has changed the original scent; you do see the problem with these words together, right? When “original” is no longer the original, there’s a problem. Now I have a large box of Tide that I can’t stand. And I’m supposed to try the Mountain Spring to see if that’s the right one? I still think powdered Tide does the best job of cleaning of anything out there; the pods are for the birds. I’m going to be peeved if 1) Mountain Spring stinks and 2) I can’t find it in powdered form. Value and Quality can’t be rated higher since I have spent money on a large box of Tide that I can’t stand to use!

Love Tide Powder
StarStarStarStarStar4/5

I am a long user of Tide Powder Detergent. Yes I strayed due to price, but came back. It really does take out 7 day old stains. This is THE ONLY detergent that gets my husband's NC socks clean!! The only thing I would change is the smell. I've been using the Mountain Spring scent which is nice but doesn't leave your clothes fresh smelling without using scent beads. Please bring back the scent from the 60s that was delightful!! Or make the powder in the same scents as the liquid and or Pods. PLEASE NEVER STOP MAKING THE POWDER!!! I LOVE THIS STUFF

NOT "original scent"
StarStarStarStarStar1/5

Why fix something that isn't broken? I grew up on original scent tide, but unfortunately now my entire family has insisted on changing detergents. So disappointing. What's funny is the majority of those leaving feedback reflect the same SCENTiment (see what I did there?...). Please consider a CocaCola move, and go back to the classic tide scent. Thank you.

Awful Smell
StarStarStarStarStar1/5

Tide seems to still clean okay, but the smell is so foul that I have to stop using it. I thought it was "just me" but my husband who has sensitive skin and requires another detergent for his clothing asked me to stop using it on my own clothing because he said they smell "putrid." I agree. TIDE are you listening? Plenty of other people also loathe this new, bad odor.

Disappointed!!!
StarStarStarStarStar1/5

I am so disappointed with the new fragrance to the original tide. You should have called it a different name and leave the original alone. Not every one wants to smell strong fragrances on their clothes. There are many people that are sensitive to chemicals/ strong odours. This scent is the worst!!!

A TRUSTED RESOURCE
StarStarStarStarStar4/5

I have used Tide powder for many years and have always like it; however, the current fragrance is off-putting. I remember the days when my mother used " Clothes Line Fresh " powder and I always enjoyed bedding down with the fresh, subtle scent of Tide.

SMELL

Had to throw away the new fragrance made me ill
StarStarStarStarStar1/5

Bought the original scent in powder and it was so strong even just sitting in the opened box. I had such an asthma attack we had to wrap it up in two garbage bags and throw it away. Will you PLEASE bring back the true original scent FORMULA? PLEASE. Most of us long time Tide customers do not like strong over powering and lingering smell In our home, in our clothes and in our bed linens and your “Original” original was just perfect the way is was and the way it cleaned.

Best Laundry Detergent Ever!
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

We used Tide original when I was a child, a long time ago - 50"s. When I got older on my own, I tried other brands. but none compared to Tide. I still use it and the powder only. I do not like pods. Anyway, it is getting harder to find any Tide powder. Are you going to discontinue completely? Lord I hope not.

Bring back the old scent
StarStarStarStarStar2/5

I've been using this for some time and this new scent is not at all the same. The smell is not pleasant. I will have to look for another brand. I can't be the only one complaining about this. I actually paid more because of the scent.

The Tide Team

Horrible Smell
StarStarStarStarStar1/5

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 something!

10/05/2022
The Tide Team
We never want to upset a loyal Tide Fan who has embraced all our versions like liquid and powder. We appreciate your input and will be happy to let our team know that you find the scent to be too strong.

Skin irritation!
StarStarStarStarStar1/5

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.

“New” Original Scent
StarStarStarStarStar1/5

[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
StarStarStarStarStar3/5

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 that I won't be able to use it if it triggers migraine headaches for me. Please consider going back to the previous formula. Thank you.

09/05/2022
The Tide Team
Above all else, your laundry day deserves to be an exceptional one. We're sorry to hear that you're not a fan of this upgraded scent, but please know this isn't normal since we do many tests to get these changes just right. However, you can be assured that this detergent is safe when used as instructed, but we know how important it is for you to not experience migraines, so we'd love to share more about our other products you may love, and learn more about your experience.

Love the cleaning power, HATE the smell
StarStarStarStarStar2/5

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 laundry detergent. Now it looks like that scent is discontinued too. It's ridiculous that a major brand would change the scent of it's products when you have decades of dedicated customers who had zero complaints. Now instead of just adding to your scent line-up you've alienated your most loyal customers. Deeply disappointed doesn't even describe it for me.

We never want to disappoint a long-time Tide user, Ellen. We're very sorry you don't like the scent of our Tide Laundry Detergent Original Powder. While we completely understand that scent and fragrance preferences and experiences are very subjective and unique, we'll make certain to let our team know how you feel about the scent change. We would like to mention that while we know that Tide Powder is an awesome laundry detergent; we've never tested it as a floor or cupboard cleaner and cannot recommend it for those uses.

Powder Comeback!
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

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 and clothes look great as always with Tide. So, I really, really think Tide Original powder is an excellent product and if you haven’t tried it recently you definitely should!

08/27/2022
New Formula Stinks
StarStarStarStarStar2/5

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.

StarStarStarStarStar1/5

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 uses the current tide original pods. I couldn't fall sleep because the sheets smelled so strongly of the detergent. And, it gave me a bad headache. I washed the sheets multiple times with scent free but could not get the smell out of the sheets. Why haven't companies learned from the Coke disaster. Don't change the formula of a popular product. Now I have to look for detergent from another company.

Your safety and satisfaction are of the utmost important to us. We're so sorry to hear about this, and with the numerous quality and safety checks we have in place, this isn't something we'd expect. We recommend using our Tide Power PODS™ FREE Hygienic Clean Heavy Duty. There's a high level of surfactants, polymers, enzymes and chelants to deliver a deep down hygienic clean.

The one and only and now it’s garbage
StarStarStarStarStar1/5

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
StarStarStarStarStar1/5

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!
StarStarStarStarStar2/5

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 smell began to overwhelm my entire 2400 Sq ft house with just a single laundry basket of clothes. I tried washing again with just warm water and double rimsing in both my top-load and HE machines. Natural fibers do better but I fear I'll have to donate and replace several hundred dollars of synthetic fabric athletic training clothes. I can't breath in that much smell. Who on earth convinced a corporate board this was a BETTER let alone a good idea?! We already smell like shampoo, soaps

Leave A Good Thing ALONE
StarStarStarStarStar2/5

[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, we updated the formula for our Tide Original Powder, adding freshness technology for a nice scent during the laundry process and more scent after the clothes dry. Our testing and research showed us this was a great addition ........ A PERFUME SYSTEM UPGRADE? So many people have so many different allergies and so many establishments are trying to adopt fragrance-free policies. We understand that many folks like to smell like a bottle of fragrance and that's why there's Axe and Gain laundry detergent and other potent options. Couldn't you have kept your foo-foo fragrances in your other products/models and LEFT ORIGINAL TIDE ALONE?? PLEASE GO BACK TO THE WAY THIS HAS BEEN FORMULATED FOR THE LAST FEW DECADES. We have been soooooo disappointed in your re-formulation the last several months. Make it Tide ORIGINAL Powder Laundry Detergent again :-)

The Tide Team
We're very disappointed to read this, and thanks for leaving such a detailed review. Your 40-plus years of loyalty to our flagship product is greatly appreciated! We're sorry the updated scent of Tide Original, however, doesn't please you or your husband.

When you have time, please give us a call at (800) 879-8433.

The Smell Is Horrible
StarStarStarStarStar3/5

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.

07/10/2022
The Tide Team
We're sorry to hear that a loyal Tide fan like you is feeling this way, Edward. We can assure you that a lot of thought goes into the design of our products, though we do understand that preferences can vary. In September 2021, this product underwent a perfume system upgrade. We added freshness technology for a nice scent during laundry and more scent after the clothes have dried. We do value this feedback, and we'll be sharing it with the rest of our team. We'd also like to learn more about your experience, as well as answer any questions you may have. When you have a chance, please give us a call at (800) 879-8433.

Why
StarStarStarStarStar3/5

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 to the old recipe please. You may lose more consumers.

New Scent is Horrible!
StarStarStarStarStar1/5

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 to think about when caring for sick individuals. I’m sorry to say you’ve lost another customer.

07/02/2022
The Tide Team
We appreciate the trust you have in our Tide Laundry Powder, Jp. Please know, while we recently implemented an update to our perfume system, we're saddened this didn't work for you. We suggest giving Tide Free & Gentle Powder a try. It has Tide cleaning power, but is free of both dyes and perfumes.

Scent change is very upsetting
StarStarStarStarStar1/5

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 my three kids 9-13 asked me what's wrong with the sheets and want them changed because the smell like bad perfume. Please, Tide, please go back to the true original scent! I rather smell essential oil based detergent than whatever this new scent is.

07/01/2022
The Tide Team
We truly appreciate your trust and loyalty to Tide Original Laundry Powder, Nikki. We know you've got many choices, and knowing we're the ones brought into your home is truly humbling.

Please return to original "original" scent
StarStarStarStarStar1/5

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!
StarStarStarStarStar1/5

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 back to the original scent I don’t want to have to change my laundry detergent.

I like it!
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

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 scent. I do not find it overpowering or offensive at all. It smells fine to me and I usually oppose heavy scents. Cheap FOCA and Ariel detergent smells way stronger and offensive to me. Tide does NOT leave a lingering odor. Only a faintly clean scent. I like Tide powder and will use it from now on.

06/24/2022
New scent
StarStarStarStarStar1/5

I have been using original Tide powder all my life, but no longer. The new smell nauseates me. In fact I had to set it outside after I opened it. I am actually glad to hear that you changed the scent, because I was wondering if it smelled different because I had Covid a few months ago. I liked the fact that the old Tide had very little residual smell. New scent gives me a headache.

There's nothing more important to us than you being able to confidently and comfortably use the products you love.

Overpowering scent
StarStarStarStarStar1/5

I’ve been using Tide original scent powder for over 40 years. The recent change made to the scent is so strong and overpowering, it totally bothers my nose and smells like a cheap air freshener. Very sad that you had to change such a great and time-proven product. You’ve just lost another customer and will be seeking a refund. Please go back to your old formulation.

You might as well buy Gain
StarStarStarStarStar1/5

One of the things I loved about Tide Powder (been using it for about 50 years) was that the smell was never overpowering. Not anymore. I've stopped buying Tide and now buy another powder brand. The smell is awful and it just won't go away. I could live with it if it dissipated over time but I actually had family members ask if I was wearing some strange perfume when I wore clothes that I'd washed weeks ago! Really? What were you thinking. Maybe you want to cater to people who don't bathe?? Anyway, you've lost me and many people I've spoken with by adding this "follow you everywhere" smell. Bad decision.

Too much fragrance
StarStarStarStarStar2/5

More detergent now required per load
StarStarStarStarStar3/5

I bought a new box of tide and noticed that while the same size and weight box used to include 180 loads and now only covers 143. If you examine the instructions on both boxes, you see that a medium load used to require 1/5 cup and now requires 1/4 cup. Is the new formula less effective and therefore requires more? Or is the change just designed to get consumers to use and purchase more detergent than necessary? This is not the first time tide has done this. A few years ago the same box provided more than 200 loads.

Hate the new scent
StarStarStarStarStar1/5

Have been using Tide for years and always loved the scent of clean sheets after a wash. Just bought a new box and find the scent much more perfumie and off putting, that I had to air out my sheets. WILL NOT BUY THIS AGAIN! Sad they have to change a good thing...

What Happened to the Scent?
StarStarStarStarStar1/5

The new scent is so strong it is horrific! I switched from the powder to the liquid, and it is the same thing. The scent makes me sneeze when I dispense the product. Then when I dry my clothes, it is even worse, the whole house smells. Then I think I am in the clear until I wear my clothes, and the scent will just not go away. I have been using Tide for 30 years. I will be switching to a new detergent. Sorry, but you have lost a long-time customer.

05/12/2022
The Tide Team
Your safety is our highest priority, and we're so sad to learn about this experience. Recently, we updated the formula for our Tide Original Powder, adding freshness technology for a nice scent during the laundry process and more scent after the clothes dry. Our testing and research showed us this was a great addition, we're disappointed it didn't work for you. We'd like to talk more with you about this and help as much as possible. Please call 1 (800) 879-8433 any Monday through Friday, from 9 AM to 6 PM, EST. We're also by our phones Saturdays and Sundays, from 9 AM to 5:30 PM, EST. We hope you'll call soon.

Terrible Smell that Lingers
StarStarStarStarStar1/5

I already wrote one review on how terrible the smell is but now I must write another review. Not only is the smell horrible but it lingers and is giving me a migraine headache. I have been a faithful Tide user for 40 years and loved how it smelled. It was a clean fresh smell that was mild and pleasing to the senses. This new "Original" Tide has an overpowering perfume smell that permeates everything. In desperation I tried Tide Clean Breeze and it was even worse. It was mentioned by the manufacturer to try Tide Mountain Spring - that this is closer to the original smell. I will try it but I will probably have to stop using Tide since they are likely using this new fragrance technology in all of their products. When I was at the store today looking for another brand to try I noticed ALL the scents were overpowering --- even more so than Tide. Sadly even the more natural brands are also doing crazy strong scents. Who decided we want to smell like strong lingering perfume???

New scent is replusive

The best thing about the old Tide original was the fact the smell was clean and faint. No one needs horrible scents to make their clothes cleaner. The smell in my laundry room makes me want to vomit. Why did you fix something that wasn't broken

I thought I was having a problem with my sense of smell until I read the scent was changed. The box was in the trunk of my car and the awful smell was overwhelming as I drove home. I’m using it with an extra rinse, but I will try a different brand of detergent next time. The product was fine before so why the change? For a product this expensive I expect much better.

This product is essentially unusable for my family now. After using nothing but this for a decade, we can't stand the smell and it just cakes up in my washer's detergent dispenser. It's honestly fascinating (and not in a good way) that it can cause the amount of stink it does when so little of it reaches the actual laundry. I used it on our bedding and it's been triggering my husband's allergies to the point of misery. Why fix what didn't need fixing? Was it even tested before being put it into production?

We’ve been using Orignal Tide powder for ages, because it works great and smelled nice. The new scent is horrible. It smells like cheap perfume or air freshener and gives me an instant headache. The old scent was so light and never gave me headaches. The new one lingers on everything, including my baby’s skin which never used to happen. It completely ruined two bibs (I’ve soaked them in vinegar, rewashed them, etc — nothing makes it better). I will never buy this again (unless the old scent is restored). Super disappointing since it works so well.

The smell is terribly strong

I have used Tide for years. Particularly because it works well and has a mild scent. I just gag every time someone gets in my vehicle that uses gain or some similar product or when their clothes are covered with scent boosters-I just hate it. It makes me feel like people are covering themselves in chemicals. Tide you have done yourself a huge disservice by changing your scent.

Horrible new scent
StarStarStarStarStar1/5

I just opened a new box of powdered Tide and can’t believe how awful it smells. Like cheap car freshener. This happened awhile ago with the Tide pods and I had to switch to unscented fresh and clear (not sure if they ended up switching back to the original scent). So sad this is now happening with powdered Tide which I use on everything from laundry to household cleaning. Throwing away a brand new box and hoping they announce a return to the original scent. Until then, I won’t be able to purchase.

Change of Scent 2022

Hello - I too have been using Tide powder for several years and been happy with the performance of the product. I recently purchased what I thought was the same Tide Power (rated for HE washers) and am overwhelmed by the heavily perfumed smell emanating from the clothes that I have washed. I am not one to be affected by odors but I can tell you, this is so heavily scented, it is really awful and it definitely is bothering me! Especially when I wash my re-wearable face masks. It is terrible and I too with all these other customers urge you to return to the other formula. #ifitaintbroke !!

I’ve used Tide powder for years. I don’t love overpowering scents, and I find most liquid detergents (including Tide’s) are overpowering. The powder has always been fresh but light, it does the best cleaning job, and I like that it comes in cardboard packaging (rather than plastic). Bought a new box a week ago. The entire house smelled like it when I opened it. At first I thought it was just due to a new box. However, when I did the first loads I realized the scent had to have been changed. It’s overpowering and has an odd urine (ammonia??) note. Disappointed. I’m not sure what I will change to, but I can’t continue using Tide Powder.

Was a loyal Tide user
StarStarStarStarStar1/5

I have been using tide for over 20 years and have been very happy with it. This new scent change is terrible. The detergent itself smells like cheap air freshener, but I have found that the clothes I have been washing in it have a foul odor when I remove them from my dresser to wear. I never had this problem with the old original Tide. My clean clothes smell sour and foul. Please bring back the old Tide.

02/15/2022
The Tide Team
-We'd like to keep a loyal Tide user such as yourself in the Tide family, Megan. We're very sorry you had that experience. Laundry detergent cannot cause your clothes to have a foul smell. There are several potential causes - infrequent use of a machine; a build-up of residue in your machine; incorrect product dosage (not enough product used can cause dirt build up in the machine); leaving clothes in the machine after washing; leaving dirty/sweaty clothes in the machine for a long period before washing; or drying in non ventilated areas. To prevent malodor, regularly run a maintenance wash; don't overload the washer - wash smaller loads, especially for high absorbent items such as towels; use at least the recommended amount of detergent (more for large loads, very dirty clothing or if you have very hard water); remove items from the washer as soon as the cycle has been completed; do not allow wet clothes to remain in the drum for an extended period; start wash soon after putting the clothes in the machine; wash using the hottest water safe for your garments, according to the care label; keep the door of the washer slightly open when not in use; dry clothes in a dry and well ventilated room if drying indoors; and wait until fabrics are completely dry before putting them away. We'd like to help you look into this further. When you get a moment, give us a call at (800) 879-8433. We're here to help.

I’ve been using this product for five years, since having my first baby. It’s all I’ve used on kid laundry, and it has been a saviour for keeping cloth diapers clean. I’ve recommended the product to many moms. When I started seeing comments in the online mom groups with people complaining about a scent change I was worried, but thought maybe I just hadn’t noticed. Now I realize I was just still using the old kind. Opened my new box and did laundry this morning, when I returned mid cycle to do some folding, the scent in the room was so strong I got a headache and had to leave the room. I’m so disappointed. I know I could try switching to the free and gentle version, but third parties rank the cleaning power lower than others. So sad that I will probably have to switch. Please consider switching the scent back. No one uses tide because they love the scent, they use tide because they know it works, but if we can’t stand the smell, it feels like you’ve ruined a fantastic product.

Scent Change

Value4/5
Quality3/5

I will start by saying, my whole family has used Tide for over 30 years. Tide Original has been a comforting smell of home to me for as long as I can remember. When Tide changed the scent of the liquid Tide Original a couple of years ago, I called customer service to complain. It was noxious, and way too potent, smelling up the entire house after a wash, even "when used as directed." The company thanked me for my feedback, and assured me I could still enjoy the old scent in Tide "mountain spring." I can't find this anywhere at the stores in my town. Also, this means the "Tide Original" smell is far from Original. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the Tide Original powder was pretty close to the actual Original smell. We have happily used it since. I have always loved the effectiveness of Tide. Until the last box we purchased about a month ago. The first wash I took out of the machine hit me in the face with the scent. It was like an air freshener in a public toilet, reminiscent of a urinal puck, complete with a hint of ammonia. I thought maybe something gross had gone through the wash in a kid's pocket, and caused a weird reaction. I washed the load again. It was worse. We've tried to get through the box by cutting the "Tide Original" with powder Tide Free and Clear. The results fluctuate between an awful, sickly, overly-sweet candy scent, and the aforementioned puck. The laundry is so strong otherwise, we can't stand it. This will unfortunately be my last box of Tide. I am fed up with changes to an "Original" formula I trusted, and now I have to wade through the market of detergents to find something that doesn't give us headaches. Tide, please listen to customer feedback, and leave "Original" scent as original! If you want to change the formula to give the scent a boost, then market it seperately as "scent boosted"!

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 all of the time, as it gives me a terrible headache.

I use an older Maytag front loading washing machine. Similar to other front loaders that I've used, the washing machine developed that terrible musty smell despite regular cleaning of the door seal and leaving the door open when not in use to allow the interior to dry. Similarly, over time using liquid laundry detergent (not Tide) my towels developed a musty smell to the point that I was considering buying all new towels.

If you’re a fan
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

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
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

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.

Tide, a Firefighter's Friend
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

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.

Actually less for laundry and more for general cleaning. Check out their account for more info! Water, bleach, Tide will forever be a staple in my home. It is amazing what it can do for almost anything!

The Tide Team
Jackie, we're very sorry this is happening to you. We want you to love the clean and the freshness you get from our detergents. When a bad odor is left on your items, it's usually because the machine needs to be cleaned out. Proper care of your machine, which includes monthly clean outs with a Washing Machine Cleaner. It will also help if you remove clothes from the washer and dryer as soon as the cycle has been completed. You may even want to keep the door open between uses to allow the washer to air out. Please give us a call at (800) 879-8433 if we can help further or answer any questions.

Ridiculous new box....
StarStarStarStarStar3/5

I’ve been using Tide Original he powder for years. In the past, you pull the tab around the top of the box to open, revealing a double layer of cardboard that nests when the box is closed (part of the inner layer stays with the box and the outer layer stays with the lid) - which allowed the box to seal and stay closed. The new box only has a single layer at the lid, so it doesn’t really close at all. It’s like an open beaked baby bird waiting for a worm. It is super annoying since the box is so full (which from a visual indicator of value seems awesome) it spills all over when you scoop detergent or shift the box on the counter (which is not so awesome):(. I want my old box back. I seriously considered doing a recycling bin dumpster dive to get my last box back to transfer the new soap to the old box. I didn’t, but it was a near thing. A week later I’m regretting my squeamishness....

I exclusively buy Tide powder laundry detergent. I haven't bought other detergent in years. I use less than recommended, and my clothes always come out perfectly, always using cold water. I love that it's not only easier to deal with, it lasts longer because of the size, and it's a greener option because the container is cardboard instead of plastic. I will continue to buy Tide detergent!

New towels ruined and a few clothes items as well
StarStarStarStarStar2/5

01/29/2021
The Tide Team
This certainly isn't the experience we'd like a loyal Tide fan like you to have, since our products are designed to provide your items with a superior clean. We can assure that our products shouldn't cause any bleaching if the items were washed according to the care instructions, and the instructions on the package were followed. As well, no detergents on the market can completely remove color, so this color loss was most likely caused by bleach. If you used bleach in a previous load, some may have remained in the washer. Even if you don't use bleach, other products in your home contain bleaching agents, such as certain toothpastes, acne treatments, and hair dyes. Your satisfaction means everything to us, so we'd be happy to look into this further for you and see how we can best help! When you have a moment, please give us a call at (800) 879-8433.

Tide Original Powder is one of the most used cleaning agents in our house at this point. We use it not only for laundry, but for mopping the floors, and cleaning other upholstered items. It is a very affordable option for the various uses it provides and for the efficiency. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a new detergent or cleaning option.

Nothing is better than Tide Powder
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

I have been washing my family's clothes for twenty-five (25) years. I have tried almost every premium laundry detergent. While others are good, Tide Powder is the best cleaner and leaves a fresh fragrance. P & G cannot improve on perfection.

StarStarStarStarStar4/5

I’ve gone back to the old fashioned powder detergent. I’ve noticed our clothes are cleaner without all the thickeners that are put into the liquid. I just think the powder works better. My only complaint is that it doesn’t dissolve well in cold water and I would like that to be an option for some items.

01/10/2021
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

This is amazing! Not only does this leave my clothes smelling great and clean, it can also be used to clean household items! I mix it with some warm water and it can clean anything from stove tops to sneakers. Add some bleach and you can make your floors sparkling!

Powder detergent beats liquid, hands down.
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

In my experience, tide powder is the best. The only use I have for the liquid, is to pretreat oily spots. So, pods are out. I only wish there were single usage packaging. Husband and grandkids, you know... I DO, repackage my powder into big ziplock bags, which I then place in the original carton. Less lumpy that way. AND, I measure out exactly how much is meant by the lines in the stupid scoops. (It differs by The “type” of tide... sigh). I then use a two tablespoon scoop to measure out the correct amount for my loads. OTHERWISE, I use too much, and it doesn’t rinse out properly. Even with all of that finagling, Tide powder is still (hands down) the best at cleaning my laundry!

10/19/2020
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

I use cloth diapers for my son since he was 2 months old. After some trial and error with other detergents, I decided to try Tide. The enzymes in this detergent ensure that all of the poop and urine residue actually washes out. I have also noticed the powder works amazing on removing stains from all of our clothes.

The Tide Team
We're very sorry you had that experience with our Tide Original Powder. This is not something we expect to happen, but we have some tips that should restore your clothing to excellent condition. Rinse the stained fabric under warm water immediately. Soak the garments overnight in water. Re-wash the affected garment again in your washing machine with NO laundry detergent. Wash at the highest temperature permitted by the care label. Always follow care label instructions for suggested water temperature. To keep this from happening, make sure you don't over dose the laundry detergent or overload the washer. If you have any questions, give us a call at (800) 879-8433. We're here to help.

Where can I buy the original powder Tide laundry detergent? It is gone from all the stores I shop. Nothing was better and the HE version is horrible.

The Tide Team
It’s up to retailers what they carry, Bill. Since July of 2015 all of our powdered detergent was reformulated and consolidated to provide ideal cleaning in both standard and HE washers, and all have the HEC label. If you’d like to discuss this further, please give us a call at (800) 879-8433.

I DO NOT like new scent in "Original Tide"

Been using Tide for 46 years. Purchased large box of Original Tide. After several rinses, scent was permanent. Will be donating to homeless shelter. Searching for new detergent!

After using Tide for so long, we’d hate to see you go, and would like to help you further. In 2014, we did change the scent of our Tide Original powder, however, if you prefer the older scent, you might be interested in trying our Tide plus a touch of Downy Clean Breeze powder detergent. If you’d like to share more about your experience, please give us a call at 800-879-8433.<!--[if ReviewResponse]><![endif]-->

Not the best anymore!

Ever since actilift crystals were added it doesn't perform as well at removing odors.Towels are musty and socks stink.Workout gear is still ripe and shirt armpits still reek.And this is in ANY temp.

We want to provide you with a detergent that cleans your clothes and helps remove odors, and we’re sorry that you’re not a fan of the Acti-Lift. Our Ultra Tide still has the same ingredients you’ve come to know and love, however, there are additional enzymes and ingredients to help remove dried on stains and brighten your fabrics. It may help to try our Tide Odor RESCUE In Wash Laundry Booster, which helps remove those pesky odors.

It makes me wanna hurl!
StarStarStarStarStar2/5

I've always used Tide Original powder but hadn't used it in awhile due to financial constraints. Recently splurged on a box of Tide only to find that the scent has been changed to some a heavy musky odor that burns my nose and doesn't smell clean and fresh like it used to! The smell was so repulsive that I had to re-wash my laundry with another brand of detergent! I really wish P&G would bring back the PREVIOUS scent in Original Tide Powder, the one that I, and everyone I know loved! Not this terrible scent that literally makes me wanna hurl.

10/26/2014
The Tide Team
We're sad to hear that our Original scent change was not for you! We have made this change based on consumer desire, however, we understand that not everyone will enjoy one scent. We have moved our former Original scent to our Mountain Spring detergent. We hope you'll give that or one of our many Tide Plus scents a try. Thanks!

Scent Change
StarStarStarStarStar1/5

The fact that Tide (P&G) updated the scent in this product is enough to be troubling all by itself! But adding insult to injury by not communicating this with your consumers is just poor business! The fact that the box still says "ORIGINAL SCENT" when it's not is VERY misleading. I called Tide (P&G) today and requested a refund for this product. I would have brought it back to the store, but I already emptied it into the plastic detergent bin we keep in the laundry room and tossed the box. They are issuing a prepaid Visa card in the full amount. However, that doesn't take away from the fact that they are promoting this product as the "original scent" when it's not. I encourage everyone else who is not happy with this scent change to call in (1-800-879-8433) and get a refund, too!

10/22/2014
Not so "Original" Scent
StarStarStarStarStar2/5

Why, Why, Why??? Why would the original scent be changed? To me it is what makes Tide Tide. The new "original" scent is way to sweet smelling. Why would the customer not be notified that a change had been made? It really needs to be changed back!!!!!

Tide Original Scent changed and ruined
StarStarStarStarStar2/5

Tide has been used in our family since I was very young (so well over 30 years). The scent of Tide Original Powder has always been soft, almost powdery and very clean. I love it, my family loves it. It seems P & G on 07/01/2014 decided to change the scent of Tide Original Powder (he and non-he). I just cannot understand why! First April Fresh Downy softener was ruined, and now my beloved Tide Powder. So sad!!!

The Tide Team
Adam, we are so sorry that you're dissatisfied with our most recent updates to Tide Original! If you're pining for the old Original, we highly suggest switching to our updated Mountain Spring. We think fans of the former scent will love it. We have lots of new members in the Tide family and encourage you to give them a try! You can browse them at www.tide.com and if you have any further questions, please call at 1-800-879-8433. Thank you!

Ultra Tide HE Powder Residue
StarStarStarStarStar3/5

Just recently purchased a new GE top load HE washer, as well as a box of the Ultra Tide HE Powder. With each load that I have washed so far with the Tide powder detergent, I have had some sort of white residue left on the item being washed, in blotches or spots. The extra rinse feature was also on. To make sure it wasn't the washer I re-ran each load individually with Tide HE with Acti-Lift liquid and the residue was gone. Mind you that both detergents are being added through the HE detergent dispenser, as well as the same wash settings being used, that also goes for wash water temperature at warm water for the wash cycle or above. Please reply with help. Could I exchange the powder with you for the liquid that seems to work?

11/24/2013
Works great!
StarStarStarStarStar4/5

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Tide is the perfect detergent for any washer and I highly recommend that you buy it. It does its job, no obnoxious fumes, and it gets my clothes clean. I have an Maytag bravos HE washer. But, if you have an HE washer, I recommend you buy Tide liquid, because sometimes the powder gets stuck in the dispenser drawer. So if you get tide for an HE, I recommend liquid, or pour the powder into the drum instead of the dispensers.

08/06/2013
Change in Tide HE Powder
StarStarStarStarStar1/5

WHY WHY WHY? did you change Original Scent, Tide, HE Powder? You had a perfect product and you ruined it! What gives with the blue specs? It looks just like Tide with Bleach Powder and the new scent is too strong! Tide has been a household staple in many homes in the US since 1946 and has always been white! I will NOT be buy again!

07/17/2013
Hard to find
StarStarStarStarStar4/5

I definitely prefer to use powder in my front loading machine. The liquids do NOT clean as well for me. I am having trouble finding stores that stock the HE Powder

05/05/2013
Deceptive product.
StarStarStarStarStar2/5

Question: Why is the new scoop so short? Answer: Greed. I note some of the video reviews show people measuring out a scoop of Ultra Tide powder. And, they say they are not sure which line to use so they use a full scoop. I’ll bet there are a lot of people out there who do the same or at least use a little more than recommended because they can’t read the scoop so well. I attempted to measure the volume of the scoop so I could find an alternate that is easier to use. (Yes I am an engineer.) Since getting the detergent in the scoop level on any line is so difficult, I used water. Level 1 (medium loads) = 2 oz Level 2 (large loads) = 2.5 oz Level 3 (heavy soiled) = 4 oz A full scoop = 5 oz. If the scoop was taller and narrower, there would be much more distance between the 3 lines and you could make a more accurate measurement. If Pocter & Gamble’s goal was to help customers make an accurate measurement, the scoop would be tall and narrow. If their goal was to sell more detergent, the scoop would be short and wide. Guess which they chose? To the ladies in the videos, you are using more than twice as much detergent as recommended. That is why your videos are on the web site. P&G stock holders thank you. For the rest of us, I recommend buying a 4 ounce measuring cup and marking the levels with a sharpie. The cup will pay for itself in savings several times over on your first box.

powder detergent

Best to use POWDER in HE washers. Doesnt buildup in machine like some liquid detergents do...causing mold. Bosch recomends powder.

Love it but only wish...
StarStarStarStarStar4/5

When I purchased the new washer, I used tide as it was the only one in the area available that was rated HE. I was concerned and didn't want to leave the brand I've been become accustomed too but thought what a better time to try something new and I was glad that I did. The clothes come out great! I was sad to see that it didn't come fragrance free given my sensitive skin -- it didn't irritate my skin but I prefer not to have the smell -- although I'm getting accustomed to it

07/03/2012
Great - but where to buy ???
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

I have a secret to share... Do NOTuse liquid or gel-form Laundry detergent with your "he" machines... They'll end up smelling... Use ONLY the powder form... There will be NO SMELL whatsoever.. Now this being said... It is really really really hard to find and I already guess the response.." ask your grocery store manager to store it" not my Job !?!? ;o).... Please do a better job of selling it or make bigger format available of make it possible to order online ! Love it... But running low of patience and tired of spending gas going for store to store to find it. Overall very positive right !

No more smelly towels!!!
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

I have used liquid Tide for over 20 yrs. & was always happy with it. I bought my 1st HE machine about 10 yrs. ago & replaced it about 3 yrs. ago. I always used liquid Tide HE in it but my towels, especially, had a funny odor to them. I cleaned my washer each month as instructed by my serviceman but the smell was always there. I would eventually get rid of them & buy new. Then about a year ago I read that it could be caused by the liquid detergent & to try the Tide HE powder. After the 1st load the towels I was about to get rid of smelled fresh again!!! I never went back!! I LOVE TIDE HE DETERGENT!!!! But like some others I am having a hard time finding it. Please continue to make it!! I have been checking the stores you have listed in my area but it must be in short supply right now.

I miss the old Tide
StarStarStarStarStar1/5

There is a huge community of cloth diapering moms who are loyal original Tide users and now very disappointed Ultra Tide users. I'm one of those dissatisfied moms. Ultra Tide is not getting my diapers completely clean. Ammonia builds up in the diapers; something that never occurred with the old formula. I have had to compensate with bleach and oxyclean, which are annoying additional steps and complicate my laundry routine. Please don't discontinue the old formula. Provide the original formula Tide powder HE as an option for us old school folks.

I miss the old Tide!
StarStarStarStarStar1/5

The new Ultra Tide just isn't cutting it for us. Regardless of water temperature and type of clothing, I have to use more than the recommended amount to get things clean. I'm wasting so much money, having to use extra detergent. I'm finishing up what I have, and searching for a new HE powdered detergent.

07/26/2011
The Tide Team
I'm sorry you feel the Tide detergent isn’t cleaning well. Please be assured all our laundry detergents are designed to provide good overall cleaning. In addition, they all contain enzymes which help remove protein soils.Since powders and liquids have different performance strengths, I’d like to share some tips with you. If you have clay or mud type of soil, then try our powders as they work best on this type of stain. For greasy, oily solids liquid is the best. For best results: • Follow care tag instructions, using the hottest water safe for the fabric. • Sort clothes properly grouping similar colors and fabrics. • Don't overload the washer so clothes can circulate freely. • Use the recommended amount of detergent for average water hardness, a little more in very hard water, a little less in very soft water. • Use gentle cycles only when care instructions recommend it. Hope this helps!

Fixed My Problem
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

My laundry used to have a faint moldy smell after being washed. I tried everything from cleaning tablets to using bleach with the clean cycle. Nothing worked. Then I tried the Tide HE Powder Detergent and the smell practically vanished with the first load! Tide powder HE works 100% better than liquid HE for me. The clothes smell just like they used to with the regular washer I had and they actually feel cleaner. The only problem is that the powder formula is hard to find and the store I buy it from only carries regular scent. Please send and make more powder HE scents and make bigger packages! Thanks!

07/17/2011
Repeated blue stains
StarStarStarStarStar1/5

The new concentrated powder seems to be causing the blue dye in our clothes (even the old ones) to run and stain other clothes repeatedly. Never had this problem before with Tide HE powder. I have a front loading machine and use the correct amount in cold water. What's wrong?

06/29/2011
The Tide Team
I'm sorry you had stains. What you’re describing is unusual and I’m sharing your comments with the rest of the team. Stains may occur if the colorant in the product came into direct contact with wet fabric. This usually happens when wash water is too cold (below 60 degrees F) and product is not properly dissolved and/or placed directly on top of clothing. Please be assured, these stains are NOT permanent. The dyes in our products are water soluble and will be removed by rewashing in hottest water safe for fabric with recommended amount of same detergent. At times, you may need more than one rewashing to completely remove. If you have further questions feel free to call us at (800) 879-8433. Thanks!

Great dollar value

I like this product because it cleans clothes well in my HE machine. The packaging for the powder is good for the environment and it's economical. My only concern is that the Ultra Tide HE powder is hard to find in stores in my local area.

suds error message
StarStarStarStarStar1/5

Just switched to this detergent. With the last 2 loads, I've had to unplug and reset machine due to 3 different error messages suggesting issues with too many suds and drain pump. I am questioning if it's related to the new formulation - "ultra". Will buy regular HE tomorrow.

05/23/2011
The Tide Team
I'm sorry you’re noticing oversudsing and I’m sharing your comments with the rest of the team. For best results, be sure to measure the detergent using the lines on the cap, NOT the washing machine dispenser. If this does not help please contact us at the 800# on the package.

Availability of He
StarStarStarStarStar4/5

I have a front loader washer and have to use He which works very well. The problem we have is the availability of He. Stores often don't carry it all the time and when it's on the shelves, their is often a limited supply. Is there another TIDE product that will operate as well? I.E. without excessive suds. He is a great product.

Cleans well but doesn't rinse well
StarStarStarStarStar4/5

I use Tide HE powder in my HE washer. Most stains come out and the clothes are clean. However, the detergent does not rinse out of the clothes very well. I had my water tested 4 different times by 4 different companies, and all said that my water was ideal, not too soft and not too hard. I have cut way back on the recommended amount of detergent, but if I don't use enough detergent, the clothes will not clean well. I use warm water for whites and cold water for colors. I never over-load the washer. After washing a load of clothes. I have to run the washer again, without adding any detergent, just to rinse the clothes better. This is a waste of water and time, not to mention wear and tear on the washer and the clothes.

Tide HE powder detergent

I've used Tide all my life, so I bought the largest box of Tide HE powder detergent for my new machine. The scent is awful and lingers on my clothes, soI have to double rinse my clothes just to get rid of some of the smell.

Can't find this detergent anymore!
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

I bought a box of the new Tide HE detergent because all of the liquid products left a musty smell in my front loader washer. Then someone told me to try powders. I found it once and now I can't find it at any stores in the area. Help! ARe you still making it? Where's it being distributed?

03/05/2011
Where did it go?
StarStarStarStarStar4/5

I have found that in my washer only powder form is acceptable, liquid leaves residue and does not make the laundry smell fresh. Unfortunately, for the last week I have been unable to find any Tide HE Powder form. I am going to have to switch to another brand because no stores seem to be carrying you any more!

01/22/2011
No Free and Clear in HE Powder?
StarStarStarStarStar1/5

It's disappointing that Tide won't put more than one scent in the powder form. I believe powder performs better in my washing machine, but I can only use the free and clear. Unfortunately, I will be switching to another brand in order to have 1) powder, 2) HE compatible, 3) free of dyes and perfumes.

I am glad you contacted us. I am sorry we currently do not carry the Tide Free and Gentle in the HE version. I am certainly passing your comments along to the Tide Team to let them know of your interest in an HE version. Thanks for letting us know.

Like good old fashioned Tide
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

I was using liquid Tide HE original scent for several years. Liked the scent and how well it cleaned until the Acti Lift was added to the detergent. The smell was so nasty and overwhelming I could not use it so I looked for a new detergent. Based on other reviews, I bought the Tide HE Powder. I just finished doing a load of laundry with it and the clothes came out smelling so fresh and clean! Tide, you just redeemed yourselves. The powder reminds me of the old Tide my mother used when I was a kid. I love it! Please don't ever stop making it. How about making it in original scent with bleach. I like that it does not have oils in it like liquid detergents and the packaging is eco-friendly, cardboard boxes not plastic bottles. Back to the basics is better.

No lingering odor in HE Washer with Tide HE Powder

Tide HE powder version solved all the odor problem left behind when using Tide HE liquid and other liquid HE brands. We had months of trying to figure out the root of the problem. Now we know. No more HE Liquid for us....keep making Tide HE powder!

wish it came in another scent
StarStarStarStarStar3/5

Love the product, but when I got a new washer and could no longer use the "clean breeze" scent, I was really disappointed. This scent is very strong and the only available for HE machines.

10/18/2010
Great product
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

I have been using HE powder since it was introduced in the late 90's. Nice fragrence and cleans just as Tide always has. I use it to keep whites white and for other really dirty loads.

09/08/2010
Reliable and Hard Working
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

I purchased a used front-loading machine, so I was not well-versed on the benefits of using HE detergents from the get-go. I received a sample of Tide HE and my first impression was that the scent was teriffic! I have tried other detergents since, simply because in this rural area, Tide HE is quite expensive, but I always come back to it and I will never switch again. It has low suds, cleans my childrens' clothes completely and makes everything smell wonderful. One thing I would advise is to actually read the usage instructions and use the amounts recommended on the box. If you skimp on amounts, it just isn't going to be as effective, as with any detergent.

03/26/2010
8 years great!
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

I started using in 2002 with a Miele front loader and have never needed to try anything else! I throw out the Tide cup and use a 1/4 cup measuring scoop and it cleans a full load. This is a proven product in the best washer I have ever owned. I love it!

02/22/2010
Great Detergent
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

I love this detergent! However, I have a large family and the small 40 load box does not go very far at my house. I also wish the scent was a little stronger.

01/25/2010
Great product!!!!!!!
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

We have had a front loader for years now and had always used Tide He liquid and been happy..never needed to switch....until a year ago. they came out with Tide HE 2x's Ultra! You think it's a good thing, but no. First, my family and I started breaking out in a horrible rash. Never thought it would be the detergent because it was the same old Tide I'd been using for year's! Wrong!!! Also, our towels started having the worst mildewy, waxy smell to them no matter what I tried. Washing on sanitary, using bleach..leaving the door open between washes which is something I never had to do before. Nothing and I mean nothing helped. Until after much research ( including this website) found that everyone one else who had been using the 2x's ultra was having the same problems. Other's were also having the same problem with other brands of 2x's ultra liquids. finally reas somewhere that liquid detergents have animal fats that build up on our clothes and in the machines hence causing the stinky towels. So, It was reccomended to try powder..no animal fats. This was really hard for me since I am a die hard liquid fan. but , WOW!!!! The first wash in Tide HE powder and now more gross mildewy smell!!! No more rash!!! No more stinch!!!! Truth be told, I actually think it works better than the liquid. We have four kids, three of which are boy's and their clothes get dirty. But with ht epowdered detergent, it all comes out! Now I love the scent in the box..bu it's not all that strong after they come out of the dryer. For some that's a plus, for me, I like a touch more scent. Also, It's not the best at the oily based food stains..but nothing a little pretreater can't help. EVERYTHING else comes out great! AND..I swear they feel deep own clean and softer. My only complaint uld be to come out with the powder with bleach in it!! Or with a Touch of Downey, but in a bigger sized box for those of us with big families!!! If your having a hard time with smelly clothes in a front loader..try this!!! It will fix it all!! Much better than liquid!!!

Unscented Please

Too strong of a scent. Please offer in either unscented or a very mild "fresh" scent. The scent of the HE assaults me all day when I wear the chothes washed in it.

StarStarStarStarStar3/5

I am an avid tide user. I have been washing my own clothes for 26 years. I have washed my family's clothes (4) for 22 years. There isn't a stain I can't get out. However, my Top load Whirlpool gave out after 21 1/2 years and I purchased a Whirlpool front load. Needless to say it has been an adjustment not being able to reach inside and look or whatever we do with a top loader. I can wash more but I don't feel like the clothes are getting as clean (might be all in my head). However, I do know that I need a scent to the powder - more than I'm getting with the regular scent. I also need it in a larger size than the 67oz. The change in machines has been hard enough, I need tide to be consistent in performance (scent and freshness is part of performance).

This is the best
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

I used to use Gain he powder until they discontinued making it. I prefer the powder for several reasons, but one big reason is I hate the liquid because if you buy a large size bottle, you have to lift the big bottle every time you do a load of wash. With the powder, I simply fill the little cup with the amount needed for the wash and put it in my machine. I must say that since I was forced to switch to Tide he, I do love it. I did like the smell of Gain better, but I believe the Tide he does a great job of cleaning and it also has a clean fresh smell. I have heard rumors of the discontinuing of the Tide he powder and I please with the manufacturer to please not discontinue this produce. Everyone should give it a try!

This product is GREAT!!!!
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

I recently purchased a HE washer and was looking for HE detergent. Well i read the reviews of the liquid detergent and i must admit I was pretty upset with having to use mostly liquid untill i found Tide HE! OMG I love this product! I will continue to use it and sure will recommend this product to others as well. Keep up the good work Tide!

Clothes are clean now
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

I could not get my clothes to smell clean in my new washer. I love Tide but had to look for other options. I could not find anything to clean my clothes. I found Tide HE powder. This product is great. I love my washer again. Thank you Tide.

Love it!
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

I thankfully found this fantastic detergent! We have been using Tide HE liquid. Our clothes never smell clean. I thought it was our brand new washing machine that was the problem...NOT SO! My washing machine smells squeaky clean, but our clothes smell gross. I am a loyal Tide buyer and searched for an alternative and found this Tide HE powder. The problem has dramatically improved. Our clothes are actually smelling clean. Imagine that! Only one other problem. My son has severe eczema and the only thing we can use is Tide Free HE, but it doesn't come in the powder form. It would be a great if Tide made Free HE powder!

Powder recommended
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

We just had the door gasket on our front loading washer replaced because of mold. The seviceman recommended we use powder because the "oil" in the liquid detergent causes the water not to drain well and it adhers to the clothes. Our wash smells fresher since we changed.

original is still the best
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

I have a high efficiency GE washer and I have tried some different products but the Tide HE powder is just the best. I too, wish it came in a different scent (frangrance/dye free would be my choice) but it is still the hardest working HE detergent out there in any form.

Where are you Tide HE Powder?
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

I have been searching my local grocery stores it seems that no one is carrying the powder anymore. What happened? The powder is so easy to use and the laundered clothing smells great. I've noticed that the liquid makes the towels have a strange almost moldy odor. Yuck.

LOVE LOVE LOVE
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

Oh, reading the rest of these reviews scared me thinking this might be discontinued. Oh, no don't do it, tide. I love the scent of this powder, not too perfumey like many of the others out there. this really works to get your clothes cleaner than anything. I am a "Laundry Lover", and Tide HE powder is my main squeeze. Keep it, PLEASE!!!

Tide HE powder
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

Please keep Tide HE powder. it cleans the best. the liquid is messy and hard to lift. cardboard is easier to recycle.

We need it ...
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

I own a small High Efficiency washer. It is the same size than the European ones, holds about 10 lb of laundry. This is the only detergent I can use with it, all others foam that much, that foam comes out of the machine. It's especially bad with liquid detergents. This detergent is also good with high temperatures, my washer heats up to 200F like the ones in Europe do and still uses less energy than regular washers. It's great to have finally clean cloth! But to keep this standard, I really need the detergent, so please don't discontinue it!!!!!

why is this powder so hard to find?
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

This is the best detergent for the HE washers, but it is so hard to find. Please don't discontinue this product. I hate the liquid, it does not clean as well, and it too heavily scented.

Great he Powder. Please keep on the market!!!
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

This is the BEST powder detergent on the market. PLEASE, PLEASE do not cancel Tide he Powder. Nothing else cleans my clothes, leaves them smelling deliciously clean & fresh and gets stains and odors out like Tide he Powder. The liquid versions (all liquids from Tide and other makes) do not work as well as Powder detergent. I would be sad, and would for sure stop using Tide, if they discontinued the powder version.

Keep it on the shelves
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

Tide HE powder is the BEST! I have an HE machine and the liquids just don't clean our clothes the way the powder does. Please do not discontinue this product. I would even love to see in a large economy version.

Please keep the powder
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

I have been using Tide in all my years in the States, and I agree with other reviewers that the powder is better than the liquid. And the liquid definitely does not work in a front loader if you do a prewash or a delayed wash. So please keep the powder out there on the shelves, because Tide is still the best detergent I have found.

05/28/2009
Hard to find
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

I agree. I'm having great difficulty finding Tide he powder. The liquid is difficult for me to use and not compatible with our water. Although I've tried another brand of powdered he, it does not clean or dissolve well. Please make Tide he powder more available.

Powder is the only way.
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

I've always loved the smell of Tide growing up. Mom won't use it due to the cost then, and when I stayed at my grandparents, I slept like a baby in the Tide scented sheets. I have a GE front loader, and the tray will not hold back the liquid stuff while I have the washer on Delay wash, where the powder stays in the tray, and I think the clothes are cleaner with powder than the liquid stuff. I've never been a fan of the liquid since to me that is "Oil" being added into the wash load. So, Tide, please keep the powder, and also add maybe the "Free" line of powder.

Only Detergent that Works Well
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

I agree with the other posts. Do not let Tide Powder HE disappear. I have a Frigidaire Affinity front loader and it seems all liquid HE detergents oversuds in it. Only powders work in my machine. Tide is the only national brand that makes an HE powder, I and many like me would be lost without it. You can try to find some of the so called natural brands in powder, but they don't get the clothes clean and preserve the color. What's the point in buying and using a detergent that wears out your clothes with every wash. I hope Tide Powder HE is around for a long time. It's absolutely fantastic.

cleans excellent
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

i would like to see tide co. to make tide powder in he- free. i need to use it for my husbands clothes because it is perfume free for him. i will always use powder instead of liquid because it makes my towels nice and fluffy when dried.

The best there is
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

I completely concur with the 2/7/09 reviewer. It's true, the powder version of Tide HE is far superior to Tide liquid in how it cleans, rinses and leaves my clothes and linens smelling fresh (not perfumy). Over the years I've tried Tide liquid (and other brands) off and on simply because they're often available in larger sizes at big box stores, but I've always ended up giving the jugs away. They just don't clean nearly as well and they leave a strong smell. My clothes are brighter and stay looking new longer with the powder version of Tide HE. I also don't worry about putting a lightweight cardboard box into the recycle bin as I do another plastic jug. Hope that helps.

The Powder Version is The Best for HE Washer
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

My boss used the liquid in his HE washer and it cause a build up of a sludgy scum on his the drum of the washer over time. When I purchased one, he told me to get the powder. I did and I love it. It does the job exceptionally well. I personally would have never thought to buy the powder but I can't see where I'll have the build up like my boss experienced and it work great!

Great detergent
StarStarStarStarStar5/5

I have been using Tide HE since the powder version came out. I have tried the liquid version of Tide HE 2x and find that I CANNOT use it in my washer. I have a Miele 4800 and the liquid version makes way too many suds. So I stick to the powder and it cleans and rinses well...and there are no suds. I am writing this because it seems that powders are disappearing like the dinosaur here in the US and cant understand why in the world would anyone want to even use liquid since to me it doesnt clean as well as powder.

FAQ

A: 1/3 concentrated means that our powder detergents are now offered in a concentrated formula with outstanding performance at 1/3 less per dose. This allows the same number of loads in a detergent carton that is smaller.

A: Yes, our concentrated powder laundry detergent products were completely reformulated. In fact, in the US, our new concentrated Tide Traditional Top-Loader formulas provide even better stain removal performance than before and our new concentrated Gain formulas offer more freshness than before.

A: Yes. For example, the new 80 load carton that is 1/3 concentrated does the same number of loads as the previous 80 load carton of non-concentrated product. The difference is that the new P&G concentrated formula is more efficient, allowing for a smaller package that is both convenient and is a right step for the environment.

A: Liquid detergents are usually better at removing greasy stains, while powdered detergents are usually better at removing mud, dirt and other ground soils.

A: Yes.
