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

Smells RANCID
The Spring Meadows scent REEKS. It is horrid, it smells too strong and of vinegar for some reason. It lingers too much and is overwhelming and disgusting.

We're so sorry to hear you had this experience with our Tide PODS® Laundry Detergent Spring Meadow Scent. It must upsetting that the scent was too strong for your liking. We understand that scent is very subjective, but this is definitely not the type of experience we want you to go through. It is a possibility the fragrance may fade or change if the container has been opened for a long time, or if the container has been stored at high temperatures. So, we recommend you use the product within a year, and to store it in a dry room at room temperature. Please contact us at (800) 879-8433 so we can hear more about this situation and take care of you by recommending the proper scent of PODS for you. Your satisfaction is highly important for us at Tide.

I used to think that I had to wash on hot-hot. As hot as possible...
Instead, I found out that if I wash on cold with this stuff, all gets wayyyyy cleaner.

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

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

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

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

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

Response from Staples :
We're sorry to hear this and can explain what you might be experiencing. Laundry detergent cannot cause bad smells. If a fresh load of laundry comes out smelling badly, it is coming from the washing machine. With an HE machine, keep the door open between uses to allow the washer to air out. For front loading washers require special low sudsing detergents, like Tide HE, using regular detergent will cause excessive suds, which carry the bacteria all over the washer and allow it to deposit and settle all around the wash drum. Above average water hardnesss may also contribute to mold or mildew odors. When a washing machine starts to smell, use Tide Washing Machine Cleaner to remove residue and eliminate any bacteria; monthly clean-outs with Tide Washing Machine Cleaner, helps keep odor-causing residues from causing odor problems down the road. Be sure to consult the owner's manual or the manufacturer's website for clean-out instructions. We hope this helps and feel free to reach out to us to share more or see how we can further assist you. -The Tide Team
