@MCDuncanLab @SRLevine @Bikevisionary I haven't seen any reviews on the powder product that indicate they've changed that formula/people are having reactions, but definitely something to keep an eye on. I know I'll never purchase another Tide product again after this, that's for sure.
@NefariousAryq @SRLevine @Bikevisionary
Tide is the only scentless powder I can find around here that I like. I tried the simply soap or something that comes in the green box, but it doesn’t have enzymes.
After a few washes, the laundry wasn’t seeming to get clean.

The latest bottle of ‘Tide Free & Gentle’ (unscented) detergent we purchased very clearly has a scent. I thought I was losing my mind but I see numerous recent reviews at different retailers stating the exact same thing. What the actual hell? Why does everything have to be enshittified, even freakin’ laundry detergent?! We’ve used this detergent for years, but never again. Going to have to re-wash my two loads of laundry I did today too after I go pick up some ‘All Free & Clear’.
@NefariousAryq Oh, I'm so sorry!
We use All Free & Clear and I really hope they don't mess up that formula!

@sollat @ai6yr We went through this with our dishwasher detergent, too, not too long ago. We always used to use a specific variety of Finish — and after the change we tried every single one and they're all horribly scented now. Tons of reviews of this, people hate it. I don't understand this fascination with adding massive amounts of horrible scents to EVERYTHING. F*cking obnoxious, again.
@NefariousAryq @sollat I'm pretty sure this is a result of COVID-19 and people losing their sense of smell. So many consumer complaints about "your product doesn't smell good anymore" and what really has happened is a significant portion of the population lost their sense of smell due to COVID-19 after effects.

Oh god, we tried finish. It stinks so much. We use old fashioned Cascade powder, much better scent wise.
-
@NefariousAryq @sollat Yes, I can follow people's scent down a street 20 minutes after they have passed. So much perfume or cologne because they lost their sense of smell.

@ahimsa_pdx All Free & Clear has been our other go-to, and it works great without any scent or allergens. Hopefully it stays that way!

@MCDuncanLab @sollat @ai6yr Yep, we went to a basic powder now and it's Fine(c)[tm]. So frustrating having to play these games, though!

@NefariousAryq @ai6yr
I always used to use the Finish dishwasher cleaner and it became unbearable. (I’m bringing them to my mom who lost most of her smell before Covid.)I can still use the Finish orange gel packs… BUT. FOR. HOW. LONG. My dishwasher seems to hate the scrubby type detergent, so it will be a big change if those go loud smell.
-
@NefariousAryq @sollat Yep, which is why I do not mind masking up at stores, too.
-
@NefariousAryq @ai6yr @sollat SOOO with you on this. What’s even better is when they wear perfume
-
@NefariousAryq Gah. I hate that. Dawn dish detergent did that recently too, horrible. They increased the perfume in the detergent by a magnitude, and it's a different smell. WHY would you do that?!?!
@ai6yr @NefariousAryq I’m still mad at Dawn for changing the scent. 🤬🤬🤬
-
@ai6yr @NefariousAryq
All those new scented Dawn varieties are terrible.There’s a new unscented Dawn that’s been okay for me.
Maybe return the Tide? There can be mistakes during manufacturing. I’m still working through my stock and very much hope it’s not coming for me, too.
@sollat @ai6yr @NefariousAryq Thanks for the unscented Dawn tip. I’ll give it a try.

@ai6yr @NefariousAryq I'm conserving the last few tablespoons of old Dawn for washing my glasses. The new scent reminds me of Ivory bar soap, or my memory of the smell.

@NefariousAryq @ai6yr @sollat Back when I commuted to work, I would get raging headaches every Monday morning. I just assumed it was, you know, going to work, but then I realized it was all the SCENTS after a weekend's respite. Hair product! After shave! Laundry detergent! Deodorant! Perfume! A bus load of it!!

@NefariousAryq @sollat @ai6yr Can we tar and feather the person(s) who decided that Kleenex tissues needed to have perfume scent added? I buy in bulk infrequently and ALL of the latest purchase ($50?) stink to high heaven… GRR! (and second the anger at all the other stinky products folks have mentioned in this thread.)

@joycebell @ai6yr @NefariousAryq Me too! I found an old bottle of Dawn at the dollar store, original scent, & bought it.

@Nshrubs @ai6yr @NefariousAryq Good score! I might try some dollar stores too.

@NefariousAryq @sollat @ai6yr I’m so glad you mentioned that, I didn’t realize they had an unscented one. But it looks like my grocery is now carrying it. The change they made to the original scent was making me nauseated big time. The lemon was one is tolerable but still not great for me on things like silicon utensils.
