Bold is okay in cleaning, nothing sensational. It has enzymes. The best thing about it is the scent. Sheets and towels smell fabulous. I doubt it would be a good choice for a frontloader as the suds are pretty thick.

Does Bold have softener in it? If I remember back from when I was a kid, it was called Bold 3 because it "cleaned, softened, and controlled static." I remember my grandmother using it sometimes and I loved the scent.
Mamacita 1: Mira! El nuevo Tide es compacto y viene con un scoop más chico.
Mamacita2: Si, pero mi abuela me enseñó que se debe usar 1 scoop largo, no importa el tamanho del lavarropas y/o de la tanda de topas a lavar. y si está muy sucio, hay que poner todavia más jabón.
Mamacita 1: que lastima, mi scoop grande todavia es tan nuevo, no voy a tirar a la basura.
algún tiempo después....
Mamacita 1: El nuevo Tide es una mierda! destiñó todas mis prendas, y no rinde más como la versión anterior.
Mamacita 2: No sé que hacen estos fabricantes de jabon en polvo. Antes una caja tenia larga duración, ahora no dura más que unos lavados y la ropa se destiña toda, aún usando la misma dose de antes.

mamacita 1: The new Tide is compact and comes with a smaller scoop.
Mamacita 2: Yes, but I learned with my grandma that we must always use 1 full scoop, no matter the size of the washer or the load. and if the load is too dirty, we must use even more powder.
Mamacita 1: Oh, what a pity. the old scoop is so new, i won't throw it away.
after some time...
Mamacita 1: This new compact Tide is a POS! All my coloureds are fading and the box doesn't last like the previous version.
Mamacita 2: I don't know what are the manufacturers doing. before, a box of tide would last for a long time, now it lasts for only a few loads and the clothes are fading, even using the same dose as we always did.
a few years later:
P&G announces that due to many complaints, we're going to launch a new version that won't fade the clothes. Actually it's the same product we had years ago, but now in the compact box and costing the same price. if you have the old scoop, please feel free to use it. if it's not cleaning, please use more product. yeeeeesssss use more, spend more and buy more. Profit & Gain loves it!
The same thing is happening in Brazil, but by Unilever.
They recently launched the 2x concentrated "Omo liquid".
it costs 2x more than any powder, but it's 2x concentrated, right?
WRONG! The dose is 1 cap, but theres a tiny note, almost invisible on the back of the bottle "*1 cap for a 6kg washer, use more according to the size of your washer"
most of the washers in Brazil is between 9 and 15kg capacity and the doses were always calculated considering a 10kg load.
Correct me if i'm wrong. If a product is 2x concentrated, it means you need half dose, considering the previous version, to get the same result, right? According to this new Omo, the 2x concentrated requires you to use the same dose as before, according to the directions on the back of the bottle.
Anyway, it cleans well and honestly one would use 1 cap only if one wants to cause a suds lock. Half cap is more than enough for a 10kg load but what about those millions of "normal users"(not that we're anormal) that never watch the wash cycle and always follow the directions?
While that, at least here in Brazil, P&G can't be called Profits & Gain. Ariel cleans much better, has better scents (it smells fresh like vintage Tide powder), the dose is decent and the directions even more clear and honest. 1 ball (you toss the ball into the washer with the load) for a 10kg load, the smaller bottle is a monster if compared to Omo and it costs 2x less.
P&G did a marketing campaign on Facebook and milions of free samples (exagerated 6 load bottle for a free sample) were distributed. 100% of consumers that tried Ariel loved it and love even more every time they do laundry. It cleans much better than any powder, it smells great (not that ridiculous "musk" scent), it rinses clear, it's cheap and we don't need to use softener. \o/
Omo was the leader brand in Brazil since late 50's... Some consumers say "I need to buy some Omo" (even if they know they are going to buy the other brand).
Finally 2010/2011 were the years that Unilever lost it's 82% of market share and brazilian consumers finally discovered P&G (the company came to Brazil only in 1993 and the first Ariel was launched in 1994, always on 2nd and almost insignificant place). now P&G has more than half of the market share and it's growing amazingly... Poor Unilever.
and unlike american liquids, Ariel Liquid cleans smuch better than any powder and it's STPP free.
For club members in Miami, i can provide some bottles next month, if you want. just let me know.

Yeah, bold had detergent+fabric softener in one package back in the 80's. Now, I don't know... It was a brand that was ahead of its time since they were one of the first ones (if not the very first) that started this concept of combining the two together. Tide and the other brands didn't begin doing this till much later on..

powdered Era
I saw the powdered Era at the Family Dollar Store today. 120 load box for $10.00. Smells good. Didn't buy because I had just bought a 120 load box of concentrated Tide original the other day, but definitely will try it next.

Started Seeing Tide "Compact" Here As Well
Starting last week or so. Strange thing, unlike previous occasions when P&G rolled out a new product, the old did not go to any sort of discount. Near as one can see the older versions of Tide powder (both HE and non) simply were taken off shelves and replaced with new.
Odd, and also causes one to wonder where all the old product is going to end up.
Have to say those little boxes are quite heavy for their size. *LOL*

Look at those Blue Crystal like the Original!
I have the duo stash.
My biggest question is, what if Tide with Bleach he is the original but used with a smaller scoop?

We were out shopping this afternoon and we came across some Tide compact. It's been years since we have had any Tide on our house. It is just sooo sudsy. But with the reports from this thread, we decided to give it a try.
So we saw the 40 load size and decided to give it a try. $7.99 seems to be the going price for the powder no matter where you shop. I wanted the "Original Scent" but it wasn't available in the 40 load size, just the 80 load size. So we ended up with the fresh clean scent powder. I almost got the Tide Sport Fresh Scent with Fabreze, but that was a liquid and we don't do liquids anymore.
Tomorrow I am going to do some dog bedding and I'll try this out on the dog towels and beds. That ought to be a really good test!

One question. Growing up my family never used Tide. When I took my first condo I used regular Tide liquid in a FL then moved to Tide powder in a Tl because the liquid would not rinse well so ......What is this original scent? Is it the scent from when Tide was first introduced? Is it the scent from when Tide became ultra? When did this scent come on the scene?

I don't think the original scent is the 1950's scent we all remember as kids. It's a newer scent.
Right now as I type this I am washing(hot) a load of dog beds in our WP TL machine. The beds consist of 10 bath towels (white) that were very dirty. I used 75Ml of Tide Compact powder which gave a nice thin layer of suds over all the open water areas in the tub. Hmmm, this IS different than the last time we used Tide. Last time we had suds coming out of the top of the machine! But that was about 18 years ago.
The scent is "Clean Breeze". To me when I opened the package we both agreed it smelled like bubble gum with a slight tropical fruity smell to it. Not overpowering, but it was there.
While the towels are washing, the entire room smells like this. The first rinse(warm) had a dramatic decrease in the amount of suds left over. There were still a few suds in there. On the second rinse there were no suds on top of the water at all, but the water was only semi transparent. This is much better than any Tide I have used before. And let me tell you, I am very, very picky about having my clothes rinsed thoroughly. I want to see crystal clear rinses!
And the third warm rinse IS crystal clear! Unbelievable! I never thought I'd see the day where I could find a well rinsing Tide. And this is the standard Non-HE version of Tide compact.
Let's see how the towels look when they are dried.

Have a box of "ultra" Tide from the 1980's (see picture above), and it makes no mention of smell, orginal or otherwise.
Just took a whiff of the box (had to unwarp the plastic bag I've sealed it in), and the scent isn't like recent versions of Tide or TWB to Moi. Has rather a sweet bubble gum fragrance if one had to put a name to it. Am not planning on opening the packet for quite some time, so won't be able to tell anything more.
Methinks P&G began slapping "Original Scent" or whatever on boxes of Tide after they began producing a score of different fragrances including none at all.

For some reason I can't sleep tonight.....
I dried the towels and have the made the following observations:
The towels came out light and fluffy.
They are DEFINITELY a lot whiter than when we used FOCA on them which is our standard detergent. Whiter than even FOCA and Clorox bleach and STPP.
However, the "bubble gum & tutti frutti smell is gone" and has been replaced with what I call the "HE Chemical Smell". I double checked the box, we DON'T have the HE version of this detergent. About a year ago we had a bottle of Cheer HE liquid and it left the same smell in the clothes. We put the dog beds down and they were somewhat reluctant to lay on them. Usually when they have clean dog beds they are on them as soon as they are put down. But eventually one by one they found their places. I don't think they like the smell either.
But at least they don't stink up the entire room.
Now if only P&G could do something about the leftover smell.......

Cleanteam... What does the first and then the last rinse look like?
The first rinse is milky and the third, somewhat clear.
Give me a week to buildup a towel load and then I would know if TWB HE version is the same as TWB for top loaders.
I've done a load of towels a few months ago and the machine went into sud lock.

Well, my experience with TWB HE Powder
Has been great. Rinses clean, the very first rinse. Keep in mind that many parts of NY have soft water. You may need to adjust the dosage if you are seeing too much suds.

Just did my very first loads with the new Tide compact powder in my Top Loader. I was very surprised.. You can almost barely notice the suds, such a light coating.. which in the end makes for a clean rinse the first time around; The rinse water was so much clearer.
However, I noticed the biggest change when I was doing towels. We all know how towels tend to produce the most suds.. but not in this case.. just a minimal thin layer of suds.. which rinsed clearly as well..
As far as the scent (original) is considered, I basically thought it pretty much smelled the same to me as the former non compact version.. very little difference to me. I'm not 100% sure, since I don't have any more of the older non compact version to compare it to..
I am very happy with this new version. I think it's efficient in the sense that you save water from having to apply multiple rinses to get rid of the detergent residue. Also, the dosing is more simplified, and less confusing, where as the earlier version just produced way too many suds, especially when people added too much detergent.
