Powder for the Win!
Never going back to liquids, tabs or pods. Why? I did some research and the best format for cleaning clothes and keeping my front loader clean is using powdered laundry detergent. No residue, a Real Clean for my clothes, no heavy scent, dissolves completely, easy to use. My clothes have never been cleaner or looked better.

Scent is NOT great
I thought I was going crazy until I read other reviews. I have ALWAYS been impressed with the "clean" from Original Tide. I also enjoyed the smell of my things. I migrated to Tide Free about 10 yrs ago

Shrinkflation!
I appreciate a clean and effective powder option but I noticed my box shrank from 129 to 108 ounces! I will be exploring other brands in the future.

Unhealthy
I think the last time you changed Tide powder detergent, the chemicals in tide are so strong they are making womens faces droop. I think your tide interferes with hormones in the body. I wish you would go back to the tide 10- 20 years ago. It worked great then and women in their 40's didnt have so many hormonal problems. Whatever you added in your last powder detergent ...

Response from Staples :
We're sorry to hear this, and we're happy to help. Our formula hasn't changed in the fashion you think it has and the formula remains the same except for the removal of fillers. Due to this, our dosing scoop has also changed and you should notice that using slightly less packs the same cleaning power and odor removal. All our laundry detergents are designed to provide good overall cleaning. Detergents help water to penetrate fabrics and then loosen dirt from them. They also suspend dirt in the water, so it doesn't go back onto the fabric. It is possible the soil from the garments has redeposited on the fabric. Overloading the washing machine prevents sufficient mechanical agitation, which results in a negative effect on stain removal performance. Correct dosage of detergent/additive: Incorrect addition or under dosage of the detergent/additive results in a negative effect on stain removal performance, as the product was not available at the correct point of the cycle or there was not sufficient product available in the wash. It could also be time for a monthly washing machine cleaning to clear residues left in the machine that also could affect performance. So we can help further, please give us a call at
1-800-879-8433, M-F 9am-6pm EST.

Cured smelly washer, but don't like the old scent.
We bought powder for the first time in a while to see if it cured a smelly front loader. It did. But, it doesn't smell anything like I remember. Liquid smells so much better. Sigh. Can't win.

Please give us an option to buy the old scent! I've tried to get used to it, I only use Tide it's the best, but I just can't stand the new smell. And I REALLY miss the old one. I use free and clear now but I'd rather the real original.
This is like "New Coke," I'm sure some people like it but others would like the old option back!

Tide Original Scent
I do not like the new scent. I like trying other new Tide scents and then decided to go back to Original (trusted). Very surprised by new scent. After wearing my clothes, I knew my load needed to be rewashed. The smell is awful. I know something is off when my husband asks, “what’s that smell?”

Not the REAL ORIGINAL SCENT
Second generation of Tide consumer here.
I am agreeing with the sentiment of all of the consumers who are aware that the new scent of Tide is not the same.
I recall noticing the change back in the 90’s.
When Spring Mountain was being announced, it was marketed as the alternative to the“original scent.”
Not even close!
I am nostalgic about the “Real” Original, too.
