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

Our products go through many safety and quality tests to ensure consumer satisfaction, so we appreciate you bringing this to our attention, as what you described isn't something we'd expect. In 2023, the scent of Tide Spring Meadow was changed to improve scent bloom. Scent bloom is the reintroduction of scent caused by friction against the fabric.

Firstly, thank you so much for using Tide for so long. We're sorry to hear that your recent batch of Tide smells like this. As you can imagine, with our quality checks, it should never smell like sour fish. This is strange since the last time we made a change to this detergent was back in early 2023 when we improved the scent-bloom. Scent bloom is the re-introduction of scent caused by friction against the fabric. We'd love to help a loyal fan out with this. Please call us at (800) 879-8433.

We're disappointed to hear you aren't enjoying the Spring Meadow scent. Your feedback means a lot to us, so we'll be sure to let the rest of our team know how you feel. If you'd like to share more or have any questions, give us a call at (800) 879-8433.
