Cold Power Liquid

Ridiculous packaging. My wife couldn't get the top off so handed it to me; I couldn't get the top off. Ended up having to squeeze it in a vice and even then it was like it was welded on. Need a hack saw to to open this detergent bottle. Totally poor design Coldpower. Show details

False adds – I've been renovating my house and have done a lot of painting and I can assure you even water based paint once dried on clothes it can't be removed, I'm tired of seeing false advertising full of lies, how stupid do you think people are, plus it's a horrible detergent will never use it again it stinks and doesn't work on stains at all.

Taken aback by the stink – the cleaning power is pretty average, but my goodness, the awful awful smell, it just stinks. I opened the lid of my machine at the end of the cycle and was taken aback by the horrible smell. I put the clothes through an extra rinse and the smell was still there, even after line drying in the sunshine Show details

I don't know why so many bad reviews. I have had no problem and I will buy it again – I am quite simple. I don't have fancy clothing. I dump them all in the wash. Show details

Double the price – I went to Woolies to buy more Cold Power to find that it had doubled in price for the same amount. New packaging and a new look. You’ve lost me. I was happy using this product but I’m not going to pay double the price. Show details

Cheap packaging and dreadful new no iron formula – I have used Cold Power for many years on my clothes and really like the product. However the company has recently changed to cheaper packaging. They have removed the internal lid pourer. If I have to put up with the mess of having no internal pourer I may as well choose a cheaper brand with this cheap packaging. I will most probably move onto… Read more

another brand around the same price but one who uses packaging with an internal pourer. Another Cold Power disappointment is the new no iron formula. This product sets stains into the clothes so buyers beware of this. All in all I have lost confidence in the company who makes Cold Power. They have a good product why cheapen it with bad packaging ? As far as the introduction of the no iron formula my advice to the company is that if ain't broke don't fix it. All they have done is mix fabric conditioner with detergent which sets the stain instead of drawing it out. If they want to improve their product range they should introduce a colour guard black wash detergent which is only their usual detergent minus the optical whiteners.

WARNING CAUSES HIVES – Broke out in horrible hives all over body. I don’t have sensitive skin or get allergies but this detergent caused a horrible break out of hives. Shouldn’t be on shelves. I can’t believe how many people have suffered with reactions to this product and it’s still being sold.

Bring back the spout – I have used cold power for a number of years but now find that the liquid comes without a spout (supposedly to protect the enviroment). As a result, it is difficult to pour and return the cap without making a mess. The ads for the liquid are still using pictures of the bottle with the spout. Unless the spout is soon returned I will need to change to another brand. Show details

Spout free - what a toss! – Please don't insult our intelligence by saying the recent lack of a spout on the Cold Power 2L bottles is for a cleaner world. In reality the cost saving is all yours and the spillage, from the oversized opening, is all ours! From being a long term Cold Power user, I will never again by one of your "spout free" bottles. Show details

Terrible smell – My clothes smelled like poo. I Had to buy a new detergent and wash everything again. That smell is going to be stuck in my nose forever. Terrible detergent. Waste of money. Show details

Shocking – I don’t have problems with sensitivity usually but this blew me out. The smell is so strong and doesn’t rinse out. I had to put my clothes through 3 more wash cycles with just water to get rid of the smell so I could wear my clothes. It burns my eyes and nose and gives me a headache. Get it off the market. Show details

Causes skin irritation – I had never had a skin problem with washing detergent until now. Since trying this one, I've had skin irritation. I then find out when I search that this is a common problem with the product. Obviously there is no quality control. I threw the rest out. Show details

Not good – I didnt like this detergent. It smells awful and it was such a big bottle took forever to use as I hate waste. Cant wait till I finish it im sure I got a skin reaction to this and yes the smell is different to last time I bought cold power. I really wish companys couldnt sell products that just dont work and can cause breathing issues from strong… Read more

scents. I honestly didnt like anything about this, it used to be better but they must have changed formula.

New formula awful – The new formula is awful. The smell is weird and too intense. Plus I am now having skin sensitivity issues with it. The old formula was perfect. Please change it back. Show details

Not sure why you have changed your formula. The smell is intolerable. Had to rewash clothes n still the smell lingering – Not sure why you have changed the formula. Smell is intolerable and over powering.. Having to rewash clothes n smell still lingering. Have always used Cold Power. Need to change back to original. Show details

Intolerable odour – I used Cold Power for my normal washing of clothes. I have found that the smell remaining in the clothes after drying in the sunlight and fresh air is absolutely intolerable, to the extent that I have re-washed the clothes using a different product. I won't be using your product again and please don't send me a free sample because I will have no… Read more

use for it. I also find that the new container shape is very difficult to manage as the container tips forward because of the poor design.

Toliet cleaner sold as a clothing cleaner – Wow what a mess, bought this cause it was on special for 8.75 at wollies not worth it tho cause it's completely ruined my clothing. They smell like public toliet cleaner. They have been stained ive tried multiple different cycles trying to get it out but no luck. Don't know how safe these chemicals are also feel like my clothing maybe unsafe and no so fireproof for work this is a major concern for me. Show details

Destroyed my clothes – I brought this when my usual powder detergent was out of stock . I washed a load with suggested wash instructions . The scrubs which usually has a glossy lustrous look came out dry faded and with white streaks all over . Now rinsing x3 with plain water still does not bring the glossy look. Stay away from this horrible chemical called cold power Show details

The formula appears to have changed – I would usually wash all of my clothes and linen with this product, not to odour fighter or easy iron formul, just the regular formula. But now, the formula looks and smells different. It is not a bad smell but I prefer the old formula. Make sure you get in sale at $8.50 PER 2L Show details

Cold Power 4litre Doubled the price – So, we are back to the 2016 cartel arrangement again with laundry liquids it seems. 2 weeks ago we purchased our regular 4 litre Cold Power front loader detergent(80 washes) at our local Woolies for $16, as it has been for over a year. Today we buy our replacement at the same Woolies.....now it's $30 for a 4 litre(80 washes), an 90% increase.… Read more

Nice pink tag advertising a "new product". As if adding the word Advanced to the labeling on the bottle makes it a new product. Classic gouging.

Be warned, this is a good way to lose business. Starting here!!!

Changed formula cold power top and front loader – I have used cold power for over 30 years as I am allergic to most other products. My last purchase I noticed not only a different texture and colour but now my whole body is itchy. There was no warning that the formula was different. Now I am unable to use this product and need to go through the heartache of finding something else that I can use. Please advise me if you bring back to old formula fingers crossed Show details

Bad Odour from Odour Fighter Liquid TM FreshGuard – Cold Power Liquid Odour Fighter. Product caused horrible smell in washing machine & clothes. Initially, perfume was OK, but once it mixed with water it changed into a strong obnoxious chemical smell. Have wasted much power trying to run several wash/rinse cycles to eliminate foul smell. My clothes are now impossible to wear due to awful smell. Cannot find specific ingredients anywhere for this product. Show details

Cold.Power Odour Fighter chemical like smell made me very ill – Made my laundry stink of a chemical like smell . Gave me severe headaches and nausea. After re-washing with another detergent i can smell it. Made my clothes and linen unusable. Show details

Insoluble white crap doesn't even rinse – The laundromat in Katanning has turned off the hot water so I decided to use Cold Power. There's something that doesn't dissolve in it and it doesn't rinse out. This leaves interesting white streaks in the clothes. I have just dissolved some in hot water but the powder persists. I won't buy Cold Power again. . Show details

Bring back the old formula – I’ve been using cold power sensitive for years and noticed that it now has a new formula. The main reason I liked the old version was the smell and now there’s no reason to keep buying it. Disappointed!

Love it! – This is great. I have only every used powers, before switching over to this. I was finding that laundry powders were leaving white residue on my husbands black work pants. I decided to try this one out because it was half price in Coles - I loved it so much. No risk of power spillage, no flimsy box to deal with, nothing! You just pour the liquid into the cap and into the machine. Brilliantly easy and NO POWDER RESIDUE on your clothes!

Toxic smelling liquid cold power – Cold power liquid has a terrible smell and gives me bad head aches with the slightest of a smell . it smells toxic and difficult to get rid of the smell

Strong unpleasant odour – I concur with the other reviews here. Cold power left my laundry with a strong unpleasant smell that will not come out even after multiple washes with another product. I used cold power in the past and did not have this problem, so I assume their formula must have changed.

Bad smell – I noticed my towels and tea towels developed a rather unpleasant smell. I no longer use Cold Power and have had to re wash everything. Stinks! Shame because I have used Cold Power for many years and always had good results. No longer! Bring back the old formula.

The new cold power formula sucks – I've been using cold power for 20 years or so and now that the new cold power formula change im very disappointed as it simply doesn't clean anymore and if someone looks into the washing machine won't see the foaming action cold power once had Conclusion : the new formula cold power should be taken off the shelves and the old cold power formula should come back with new designed containers

Cold Power- Cleans Best – I'm surprised at the negative reviews. Coldpower has top marks from me. My clothes appear cleaner, smell great and the price is reasonable. I switched to Cold Power a few months ago by necessity (moved house and my washing machine is coldwash). I'm glad I did.

can't Stand The Fragrance – The Fragrance in The " New & improved cold power liquid" is over bearing! We havent stopped sneezing & can't wait to rewash our clothes The whole House smells like a toilet Spray.' Never again Cold Power!!!!

smell not bad with lemon flavor but not strong in decontamination – I have just used the new formula F&T with lemon fresh recently. I think it smells good coz the lemon flavor. But it is difficult to get rid of stains.

Smells like stale wet bathroom towels that have been screwed up on the floor for a month – The new formula stinks . Clothes are unwearable & need to be washed multiple times with a different brand to try and get rid of the stench & even then some clothes have to be thrown away , switching to another brand immediately

Changed ingredients – Must have changed ingredients no smell and garments now feel slimey not clean has been discontinued I believe
