We’ve used this detergent for a few years and really like it. Bought two new bottles recently and both were filled with brown smelly sludge!

Brown sludge

I just bought a GALLON which was really expensive. So, imagine my disappointment when I loaded my washing machine and it came out a gross brownish green color. I can’t tell what’s gonna happen to my clothes but I just had to run the machine and see what happens. I’m very concerned.

Horrible color I would not purchase. The container looks like it was not factory made like all the other Tide containers I’ve used and bought since 12 or 13 years old. The actual liquid is different than other Tide. What is this number on the 89 load bottle?

ounces instead of bars

how many ounces do the bars represent on the tide cap. I have lost the cap and do not know how many ounces to use instead of bars. I would think there would be some info on the bottle to explain this...
thank you

Disappointed
on July 12, 2025
Posted by: Dtown
Tide Refreshing Breeze was my favorite detergent until the scent changed to a strange grapefruit scent around 2022. I’ve tried every other detergent since and have not found one with both cleaning power and scent that I like. Original Tide smell is now horrific, almost as though cat urine is at the heart of the fragrance. And don’t even get me started on Gain, which many years ago was by far the best smelling of all. I feel ridiculous making this post over something so inconsequential, but really I’m so irritated with PG that I had to let it. Why can’t you offer the truly original and beloved scents of these products? Just name them classic or retro and offer them in retro style packaging. They would fly off the shelves! Thank you for your consideration.
