I know this may sound like an odd observation to some of you, but I have used Tide Laundry Detergent for more years than I care to say. My Mother used it when I was growing up - for everything -- laundry, dishes, mopping the floors, cleaning everything. Of course, back in those days, there was only the powdered detergent in the big orange boxes. I used the powder myself until it was no longer readily available.
I have recently, and by recently, I mean in the last 6 months, noticed that the smell is not the same. It doesn't smell the same in the bottle, and, as I iron my clothes, the same fresh, clean, smell doesn't rise up from the clothing with the steam. In fact, there have been several occassions that I wondered if I had washed the item at all.
I've asked my husband if he has noticed a difference, but due to his age, he has lost his sense of smell and can't tell. Has anyone else noticed a change?
