My problem is that there are only two people in my house and not a lot of laundry to do each week. Now you have made the pods xl or two pods in one and that is too much detergent for my small loads and I don’t want to go back to liquid or powder. Ple...

AWFUL strong putrid scent
The scent in these pods is HORRENDOUS!!!!! My husband likes these, I do not use them but just the smell of his clothes makes me nauseous and give me a migraine headach!! Read about chemicals crossing the blood brain barrier, the nauseous and headaches is caused by chemical reaction. You should be ashamed.

No instructions on container or website
I bought Tide Free and Clear Ultra Oxi Pods. There were no instructions on the package. I came to website to find instructions. I can not find product on the site. I checked similar products , but there are no instructions on website either.

We're sorry to hear that, and would be happy to help. To use the Tide PODS, Just place 1-2 Tide PODS in the washing machine drum before adding clothing, and you’re good to go. 1 POD for regular loads, and 2 PODS for large loads. If you have any Tide questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch with us at (800) 879-8433.

Scent change!
I absolutely loved the old scent of the green pods. Even ordered them to Germany because they're not available here. I was SO sad when the scent changed! The blue ones definitely aren't the same.

Oh God the Smell
First of all these pods clean my clothes just fine. But I just can’t get past the awful smell. Like other reviewers I bought this again because I was so satisfied with my first round of this detergent. This new batch with the unimproved scent is terrible. I accused my wife of swapping detergent and thought it was some heavily scented junk soap. Not the high end Tide it’...

Surprise! The new scent is horrible!
I inherited a loyalty to the Tide brand because I was always taught that it was the best. When I did other Tide Oxi pods, I couldn't believe that they nailed convenience, scent, and quality in a single product. No other brand could compete with this perfection. Recently, Tide decided to sneak in a change that would negatively impact all of its customers AFTER they'd pur...

Response from Staples :
Firstly, thank you so much for your 44 years of loyalty and support. We're so very sorry to hear that you weren't the biggest fan of the scent of these pods. Scent preferences will always vary from person to person, but the scent should never be too strong that it causes headaches. Please discontinue using it as this isn't what we expect with our numerous quality and safety checks. We made the change to improve cleaning and provide better stain removal while still being gentle on sensitive skin. However, your feedback, loyalty, safety, and support aren't something we take lightly, and we'd like to make a detailed report to our Quality and Safety Teams and tell you more about our unscented detergent. We can be reached at (800) 879-8433.

The new scent is not pleasant to me. I wish that you would place a sticker or something on the package to notify people that something has been changed. I will be returning this and will not be buying this again.

HATE the new scent
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I HATE the new scent and by the looks of these reviews so does everyone else. I'll be changing to a new brand unless they decide to change the scent back. Terrible to not listen to your customers and instead keep touting the "extensive testing" you did about the new scent.

I completely agree with all who have voiced their unsatisfaction of the scent change. I get migraines and then new scent does not help! The new scent smells cheap. I will also be looking for a new detergent. I would like the original scent to return to the tide ultra OXI tide pods.
