I know that many people have complained about the new Tide original scent since they changed it approximately a year ago. I've alternated between Tide Clean Breeze liquid and Tide Hygienic Clean liquid and use a traditional top loader with no issues, so maybe try a different Tide than the original one.

I've actually heard of this problem. I'm not sure if many people have a jug of liquid detergent around long enough to cause this, though. The big jugs usually last me about 2-3 months doing approximately 3 loads a week.
I actually quite like powdered detergent but the last time I used it, it made my wife's skin itch horribly and also left a weird dirty feeling in the bottom of my washer. Of course, this was Arm and Hammer powder, which is a more inferior product, so maybe that had something to do with it. |

This is why I stick with Tide powdered detergent, never have issues with foul odors or anything like that. Only complaint about Tide powdered is it has a tendency to suds up quite a bit in my ‘63 Whirlpool and sometimes results in a suds lock but usually only seems to happen with towels for some reason.

Hard water. Is it well water? It could be something in your water that's reacting with the Tide perfume and giving it that smell.
One place I rented in Northern Minnesota had bad BAD well water with bacterial Iron. It literally came out of the faucet orange and smelling of rotten eggs. I learned a lot about the need for water treatment there. It could also be a marketing trick on the part of P&G by trying to create the need for people to buy their fabric softener. This by trying to imply that the persons clothes are so stinky and wouldn't they be better with softener. |

No well water at all. Just happen to live near the mountains. I think you’re onto something though - making it smell nasty on purpose just to make us buy unstoppables and softener 😞 |

I know exactly what you are talking about. It happened to me with the original scent about 2 years ago, so I switched to mountain scent. Now it seems to have infiltrated the mountain scent so I switched back to original scent and all seems well again. I am a powder user for both dishwasher and laundry, so I hope Tide gets this fixed.
