It acyually sound strange.....those are the results you'd get if you put too much, I'm not saying that you use too much of it, but if you tried it to use less amounts and you get same thing I just do not know.....I just know that if you've really soft water you should use less than reccomended amount...
Never tried Tide HE.....I just used once Gain HE.
Do you get this only with Tide HE powder?

Yep that actually is bizarre........
Not sure what they changed in the new formula if they more sodium carbonate or other things.....
It probably is so, if only we could find a chart online for old and new formula it would be immediate what and if something has changed....
So what you use now? Just liquids?

Is it that bad?
It's not that good.
My Aunt left some here when they visited, as they are allergic to Tide.
They only washed their clothes, but did leave the leftover here. I don't know about the power residue, as I used it for the dog rugs when I used it up. Did ok with them, but it they aren't too bad, just doggy smelling.
What I have found:
All free and clear liquid, isn't that bad, but again the items I used it on was not that soiled. It appeared to rinse well, no smell what-so-ever. Did not suds too much.
Tide HE Powder--They must have reformulated it lately, I hadn't used it for about a year as I was using a box of Sear's Ultra. The new box of Tide I bought did not suds up like the previous samples. However, it still did not rinse out that well and was still showing some cloudyness in the third rinse with my load of sheets.
Sear's Ultra--Don't know nothing about the chemistry part of it, but it does a good job on the clothes, I have washed greasy, muddy, and sweat stained from working in the yard. It rinses very well, last forever, and doesn't leave a strong scent.
Tide Free--Liquid, works very well in cold water, rinses well, no suds. Very happy with the results, and my daughter doesn't get all itchy. NOTE the cold water version has disappeared from the local market, I have tried all stores not there. Use the regular HE Clear version works well in cold.
Tide Total Care--Good wash results, good rinsing, nice fresh scent, a little pricey.
So I would surmise that the best answer is there are very few "best all around" detergents. And, our dear Laundress usually knows her stuff and is a big enough person to not throw sand. Discussions are good, even heated ones but sometimes it's best to type a snarkey response then delete it instead of posting.

Thank you Harley for your opinions and reviews, and glad to finally meet a Kansan on here!!! Granma and mom were from Olathe.
I hate talking about Laundress matter again, but I have to state absolutely that I've nothing against her, I admit that "historically" didn't agree with her, even when I don't used to post on here but just reading, her points of views not always have suited mine, I'm not talking about demonstrable facts or not as they were above, just the way of thinking she has, said this everyone is diferent and of course I acdept others opinions, even in the past I had discussions based on simple opinions with her, and will never forget the one of the Sunbeam Portable dryer, she actually looked like wanted to say her opinion was right and correct at every cost and just would not accept mine , the matter discussed was usefulness....this is not the matter anyway.
This time demonstrable facts were on the matter....
Tought she confused soda to lye, I did know, wrongly know, that with washing soda you could not make soap intended as saponifcation process, things read and learned online, I wrote and linked where I took things and info from ,a few links in which some things were correct some maybe less or bad explained, maybe I still know something wrong who knows? Only thing I can do is write what I know and think, and so if in that moment I thought she was confusing I just wrote it, is it bad? Is this a thing for someone would get offended or upset? Just do not know.... but Isn't this a disccusion forum? What is it's purpoese then if not the one pf sharing info, opinions, thoughts ec?
I just cannot accept someone treats me like a dummy who write just beacause he can type and that , how she said? Have to have it's horn split, she used that term if I remember correctly, I cannot accept someone stating that I take things from the air when actually isn't, I wrote what I knew and thought in that moment providing back up links before and after while she didn't actually, I was accused of pullings info from nowhere almost like if I invented them, I of course wrote that I tought she was confusing that not necessarily means IT ABSOLUTELY IS,.... but what I learned as for lye process etc even if maybe I did not explained well as it was since Kevin as he said have understand it differently from my explanation, I've enough more links I've visited rescued to prove back up of what has been said from me, and I'm not saying they are absolutely correct either,this is just what I could learn from and anyway not took from the air but from a thing called "internet"...that not always is a reliable source, but actually if you vist more sources saying the same thing it probably is.
Snarkey response, I admit I have posted snarkey response but just after snarkey response was provided to me.....
I'd have apologized for thinking she was confusing, a thing that I would have done only if her response was a civil one, actually now I just want to ignore her in the future and avoid similar situations to repeat again, I don't absolutely feel the need to apologize for snarkey responses after first wasn't started from me.
It has been a simple misunderstanding/misconcemption let's call even incorrect opinion or thought, as it was it from my side that I would have never expected to be transformed in a such idyllic commedy.
I don't like fights, always offered my help for the little things and favours to memebrs I can do from being actually in Italy...as I would have done for laundress despite not liking her way of thinking.....and for all the other that could not think same way I do....that I think is the most normal of the things since we're a community with the purpose to help each other, i just don't like to pass as the fighty dumbass on duty who looks for fights never wanted, never will....

Thought I wrote it before in response to you, maybe I forgot sorry, you know I had others discussions to keep going, sorry again.
I already used it, but never wrorked that good on certain stains for me, I ended using it for lightly soiled, actually it did not even had a nice scent, almost odorless and I don't like odorless detergents.... it was the green type, shipped to me second time I had a "detergent exchange" with a member on here, Carl Collins a very generous and kind member......

Sorry, I have exchanged you for another member who mentioned Ultra Plus before, just noticed now of it, you actually is the fist time that post in this thread.... sorry again!
And BTW I never left a comment about Ultra Plus as I thougjt so this is valid and due since I also mentioned it....
That is the reason why personally I would not use again Ultra Plus....
At least does not leave white residues, at least looks so, with me didn't, actually no one as said never did this, and I know it contains a good amount of washing soda in it......not probably as much as the A&H, that is just crazy 85%!.
The main issue is Tha Ultra plus just does not work on certian kind of dirts for me, and no smell good also, honestly expected it to be better....I was quite disappointed....[this post was last edited: 8/25/2012-18:00]

Freddy,
Yes I am from the middle of the country. I have some cousins in OP, they used to own a little company you might have hear of, Hallmark cards.
Long since retired and sold, but it's fun to brag "oh, yea well my cousin owns Hallmark."
At one time another cousin and her husband owned the regional distribution rights for TV guide. I don't see or hear from them since my Aunt died a few years back.
