Posted this is Keebtalk but I thought I'd post here and get TPs take on it:
I do the laundry in the household. I’ve been using Tide Free and Clear detergent for about 15 years now.
Just in the last year I started to notice that the detergent smelled like a dumpster or vomit. I thought I was crazy. When you first get it, the smell is not there. At least with the last bottle I bought. But after a few weeks it starts to get worse.
I thought… weird, i guess they’ve changed something. So I started looking at other brands. Reading reviews and such.
EVERY SINGLE BRAND of unscented detergent, from the cheap to the premium, people are saying the EXCACT same thing. I think it’s probably present in all detergent, but the scented ones mask the smell.
Did they like find out something was causing cancer and quietly replace it? Supply chain issues with common ingredient now using low quality product to substitute???
So strange. I’m actually looking into making my own detergent today.
