NOT AT ALL! This smells fantastic and I wish actual laundry detergent still had this scent. When done cleaning the washer the room and washer smells great. To me it smells like the powered Tide detergent did 20 years ago. We have rental washers (about 80) In various properties that sit for periods of time over the summer and we use this to freshen the stale smell from that idle time. Sadly most washer machines today are energy efficient, so the hot water is always mixed with cold. The secret is to turn off the cold water supply so the washer uses 100% hot water because this works best when the water is hot. Stay with the cycle because the rinse is NEVER done with hot water so the cold will have to be turned back on or the cycle will stall. After cleaning you may have to run the washer again to wash away the debris that was loosened by this product.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on June 28, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I could not figure out why our Whirlpool washer smelled like wet dog hair. No one ever told me, I had to use a cleaning product monthly. There are a lot of negative about these cleaners on Amazon, and I tried other brands with no luck.\n\nThis is a Proctor and Gamble product, I doubt anyone knows more about soap than they do. I also contacted Whirlpool. Whirlpool advises to use hot water, and fill the tank to the top with hot water from the faucet. This removes any resado from up under the top rim of the water tank. They also recommended using baking soda and bleach. I used both of them along with Tide Machine Cleaner. (Remember i had never cleaned it before and it smelled rancid). I ran the washer through six cycles resetting the timer and keeping the same water in the tank. The problem is gone, clothes smell fresh, and there is no strong oder in our Whirlpool washer.\n\nNow, we simply use the Tide once a month.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on September 11, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': "This product leaves your washing machine smelling like someone dumped a perfume bottle in it. The smell is wafting beyond my laundry room to invade other areas of my house. I wanted a disinfectant that would battle mold, not a perfume that attempts to cover the scent. I'm going to use basic, effective ingredients without unnecessary perfumes. Very sorry I purchased and used this. The rest of the box is going in the trash."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2017', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': 'This "cleaner" leaves behind a strong perfumy soapy smell that so far has lasted five days. For anyone with allergies or asthma this is a very hurtful and nasty product.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': 'We own a WM3900 WiFi connecgted LG washer. We followed the directions of the Tide Tub Cleaner by putting the tub cleaner in the tub and ran the hot water cycle as instructed. Shortly thereafter we got an email from the LG Care center that monitors the performance of the washer stating that "Our records indicate that excessive suds have been detected in your washer" We got in touch with LG and they stated that 1/2 the Tide Tub Clean Package should be used and it should be installed using the LG Tub Clean instructions, i.e through the Detergent dispenser. and the Tub Cycle. The following is an excerpt from the email\n\n"Hello Terry,\nWe truly appreciate your time dealing with your inquiry and we would be pleased to assist you further. As we completely understand your inquiry, we highly suggest following the steps provided by LG care support in running the TubClean cycle to the unit. Also, it is advised to use half of the suggested amount of powder from the detergent manufacturer, to avoid too much suds.\n\nFor your reference, please see steps provided in the unit’s user manual from page 35. Kindly check attachment to this email response to you, for a copy of the unit’s user manual.\n\nShould you have any other questions, please feel free to contact us again via Email, Live Chat, or Phone by calling 800-243-0000. You may also visit https://www.lg.com/us/support/repair-service/schedule-repair or repair requests on LG Electronic devices."\n\nPlease note that you may be causing excessive sudsing in your LG washer by following the Tide instructions and not be aware of the problem as not all LG washers show the error code for excessive suds from what I understand. Also there our conflicting recommendations from LG on the web, some of which say to use the tub cleaning products instructions and other that recommend using the LG Tub Cycle.\n\nBottom line: According to LG use half the Tide Tub Cleaner and follow your LG model Number instructions for tub cleaning.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I purchased this after reading a recommendation in Consumers Reports. It is supposed to clean the washing machine. Well it STINKS. Literally. I have run the machine 3 times since trying this product. I cannot get the smell out of the washing machine or my laundry room. I am loathe to put my clothes in my machine now.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "With three children it is necessary for me to pretreat their clothes frequently. It is so frustrating when I can't get the stains out! This product works like a charm and really gets the job done. So far it has tackled every stain I have thrown at it including blood, dirt, grass, and grease to name a few. It contains oxi which is an added stain fighter. Just spray it on, rub it in, and let it sit awhile before you launder. This is my new favorite stain remover!"}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I had doubts this would work on clothing with stains that were set in material from already dryer dried. I was pleasantly and shockingly surprised at how well it worked. It removed lipstick stain from a tube of lipstick being left in my husbands jeans pocket (we love their empty pockets and fill them accordingly) he hadn’t removed and washed with my white jean jacket. I had dried in dryer and stains were on all jeans in load. This removed every set in stain. I did spray the evening before and let set overnight before washing next morning!!! Amazing!!!'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on July 28, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Have an LG and noticed a smell. Tried the popular competing brand and went through a whole bunch of cleaning cycles and was not that happy. I called LG and they said to switch to Tide. We did and we like it. Smell is gone. You may have to apply two or three, or more, cleaning cycles to get rid of the problem.\n\nTide worked. Just used it again for prevention. With an LG, anyway, you may get tiny black specs after a cleaning cycle that come up from beneath the tub. They stick and need to be rubbed off with a dry or wet rag.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on June 15, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "I've used these for years. They're the only thing that get the disastrous wet dog, dirty belly button and gym clothes smell out of my front load washer. I use them every 6 weeks or so which is how long it takes for my washer to smell like a New York strip club on a Sunday morning. After using, make sure you leave the washer door open to air out the fumes of sin and welcome the Tide of sanity back into your home, and washer. A+, would recommend."}]
