Tide products are not with the times. First off they should use clear caps for liquids. The Turbo products are a fail to me and still never rinse properly. Tier III washers are misers and liquids seem impossible to dose for them. Even in my HE2T the Turbo had suds on the 3rd rinse, especially towels. Also too many variations of product, it is out of control and to me silly game when looking at all they offer. Tide with bleach HE also was my favorite for many years. Before the "vivid" version came out, the product completely disappeared from shelves. Then comes what we have now. Is there a difference in the "vivid" labeled Tide with bleach and what they offer now? P&G cannot ever leave well enough alone and I will no longer use their laundry products except bounce. Tide powders today leave white film build up all over the gasket over time, a clean cycle does not even get it off. That is using just a few tablespoons per load and yet still white film/scum. Persil Megaperls leave nothing behind. All these years and still they cannot get it right with HE washers. The dosing they tell us to use might be for filthy wash as it will break down and rinse well for filthy wash. But for normal soiled laundry the dosing is way way out of touch.

Has anyone tried the current Mountain Spring Tide scent? I'm wondering how it smells after drying.

I used Mountain Spring way back in the 90's and liked it second to Tide with bleach liquid or powder. I believe it has been unchanged smell wise. It must be popular to be around still to this day.

I have a box of the HE Turbo Mountain Spring powder and I really like it. I am gonna "try" to limit my detergents down to two . They will be Cheer HE powder and the said Tide MS. It is that good IMHO.

where did you get that dorey?

Yes Tide is a good product no doubt about it ..my favorite was always the Tide with Bleach powder original scent, Clean Breeze Powder and Mountain Spring. ..

I like Cheer and I have a LOT of it but it was sudsy in my TL so I haven't tried it in my Duet. I will one day and I'll be prepaired with a bit of defoamer for carpet shampooers. Lol

Not sure how long I will stick to Persil, love it yes, price no. Tide seems to always get me back. I just get mad when they have to change everything just when you like a specific flavor. Before the "vivid" formula, Tide with bleach was just gone no where to be found. Then came Betty White and "vivid" Tide with bleach. Then that was changed again. Larsi did the formula change after the "vivid" version? Thats when I quit using it anyway.

Persil, eww. I purchased the Tide at Walmart. I never shop there, except for engine oil. I always walk in to the buy oil (Mobil 1 for $25) and walk out spending $100 on things I don't need.

Tide Vivid and the Tide with Bleach prior to Vivid were the same formula including scent. When P&G decided to rebadge Tide with Bleach to Vivid people were not pleased so Vivid was renamed again to Tide with Bleach. Shortly after that the scent changed..big mistake if you ask me.

Derrick the mountain spring is different from when you used it last( if it was the 90's).

Derrick...the current Tide with Bleach Alt. liquid (reg and he turbo) do smell different for the original and what was shortly called Vivid..but it smells pretty good! Also the current Tide with Bleach liquid works VERY well!!!

The current Tide Mountain Spring Powder (now safe for HE) works great, but it for sure smells different than how it used to in the 90's and 2000's (as Sparky mentioned). It smells very good, but it is not the same. Do you expect P&G to not ruin, I mean change everything? Amazing they have left Bounce Outdoor Fresh scent the same for decades!!!

Take a look on eBay. Tide (Vivid) with Bleach powder is listed for sale ranging from $80-145.00 for ONE box!!!! O M G!! Insane!!

Regarding Mountain Spring - I'm not real sensitive to scents but really dislike anything sweet on my clothing, in my fragrance, body products. I've been using grabgreen pods, geranium (smells like cinnamon leaf) and vetiver (very green scent). I'll have to get a box of Mountain Spring and try it. As long as it doesn't smell tawdry I can make it work :).

Lars, I know you remember when Bounce used to be on a roll like paper towels?! Have you ever used/tried one of the bars that sticks in the dryer? I have never tried those because I wonder if they would hold and if they did if when removed it would leave a sticky spot.

Those sticky things that stick in the dryer..mom used one, one time, nothing would remove the mess it left behind.

Sandy Mountain Spring and Clean Breeze are not a sweet scent, they are both very brisk, clean, bracing, and extremely herbal smelling. They leave clothes with a fresh clean scent. These two are the most like the old skool scented detergent than any other detergent on the market...IMHO. Shake up up and sniff at the seams at the store...and I'm referring to the powders.

sparky...I LOVED the Bounce bar. I never had a problem, and used it in a Miele & Electrolux dryer. P&G, of course, discontinued them. TONS of consumer requests for them back. eBay and Amazon have some for sale, but you will be shocked at the price!!

If you removed it, it would leave a little sticky residue..but came off totally with a little cleaning or goo off and a rag. No issues!!

Peanut Butter works wonders on sticky hard to remove things..

I was at a grocery store a few weeks ago, and I kid you not.. there was an entire shelf of Tide HE Powder with the old scent. As well as Vintage Pre-2010 Non-Ultra Tide Powder in Clean Breeze, Original with Bleach, and the Original Original. There was also a single box of non-ultra Cheer with ColorGuard and Ivory Snow Powder. I almost freaked out in the middle of an aisle when I saw it all. And it's all free-flowing which is shocking considering the humidity where I am.

Unfortunately, I haven't been purchasing any detergent. And you guys would be so proud, I walked away. I literally have zero ways to consecutively use everything within the next two years, and I think that's a little crazy even for me. With that said, Larsi.. I might be able to send you more Original Scent if you want. I have a ton of boxes of it, and I haven't touched them in over a year (saving them ;) ).

In case anyone is interested, I was able to walk away with a single box of Cascade (the only one left) with Phosphates.

Thank You Shady Latin Market ;)

O M G!!! Mitch how you walked away from this, is amazing!! Did you hear I had to dump most of my Vintage Original Scent he Tide powder?? :( The boxes looked and smelled fine, but the insides were hard and almost seemed like they were wet at one point, "activated" and then petrified themselves. Seriously I was really bummed!!!

You have been very generous with laundry products, and there is no way I could accept anything from you unless I paid you for them. 100% non negotiable. I must pay you, or I just could not accept anything!! ;)

I have been using this Tide with Bleach (Vivid) powder on my son's clothes. Usually I would not use oxygen bleach on colours and darks...but with kids' clothes, they are usually only worn 3-6 months anyway (although I have noticed no fading yet, in fact most things looks bright and "vivid", LOL).

This powder gets EVERY stain out and the clothes are left fresh, "herbal" smelling and look great!! Shame P&G has ruined this powder too!
