Omo Active

I bought the Sensitive packets on special, one from Coles and 2 from Woolies because I loved the fragrance. I was disappointed when I opened the first packet to find that, not only did it not have the fragrance but the aroma was rancid and I could not use them at all.

I recently bought 2 more hoping it would be better but again, they both had the rancid aroma.

There is a date stamp on the bottom and I now wonder if it is a 'use by' date or a 'manufacturer' date as I was rather rudely told by the Coles assistant when I returned the first packet.

Back to Woolies to return the other 2. Very disappointed.

This powder used to be great, had a nice fresh smell and worked really well. I have notice that recently it is no longer made in Australia- is now made in Vietnam and since then they have changed the fragrance which is so overpowering that it puts a yuck taste in your mouth just from breathing the scent. We can’t use it anymore.

I have used Omo Active Powder for a good few years. It does a good job with getting stains off and smells decent, until recently when I purchased my latest box 1 month ago. The original smell has been replaced by a type of artificial perfume which kind of puts us off. I'm really hoping that they'll bring the original scent back.

I have been using omo for 4 years, and I love their ultimate powder and sensitive liquid detergents. The colour and texture preserve, and they are great on my skin. However, the omo pods had an overpowering smell of perfume, made my clothes feel rough and it faded my super black pants and left it with product sticking to it. It only worked great on my white load, on 30 degrees as it made everything look brand new. I would like to add that I followed the manufacture instructions and I highly recommend to keep the temperature of the load on lower than 40 degrees.

I expected more of this product, the two stars was for making my white clothes super white again.

Last night, my partner washed and hung the clothes up inside. I thought the house smelled a little odd, but didn't really take note of it as we went off to bed.
This morning, the air is sour.
My partner can smell it is unpleasant but is not super bothered by it. I feel like I can smell it now on my whole body from being in the air. Hopefully a wash cycle (or multiple) with a different detergent can strip this odour out. If not, I would consider throwing away the ripe and spoiled items.
I am never buying this again
Also in hindsight there was...

When I bought the OMO washing liquid I didn't know that it leaves a very bad smell on your clothes, no matter how clean you wash them. The fake perfume in OMO liquid is just so so bad. Won't buy OMO again.

I, (along with my mum and 3 sisters) have been using OMO liquid for at least 15 plus years and love the product. My issue is the price - I understand that prices go up but an increase by 50% is absolutely unbelievable. I usually by the 4 litre bottle from Coles or Woolworths for $24 or Big W for $22. Today I went to Coles to find that it has gone up to $36...really?? That is a huge increase that I and a lot of people simply can not afford. Looks like I will have to look for an alternative.

omo has been my absolute favourite product since 2010, i’ve seen a few variations of the product changing over the years and now it’s eco friendly, i will say that the scent has changed slightly but i still love it as it’s really fresh and find it lingers on the clothes with a light scent

i find omo to clean amazingly on everything, i mostly use the quickpowerwash and the express 20 cycles on my miele machine but everything from towels to bedding to whites comes out spectacularly clean but also soft!

pair this with cuddly sensitive fabric con...

Excellent for washing clothes, but won't buy again because of the stench of fake scent. I, along with many people, find these stinking fake perfumes very disagreeable to our health. Research shows that fake scent is unhealthy. Use oils instead for client wellbeing.

I’ve been using OMO in my machine since I bought it, it’s been 10 years now. Tried these capsules and I’m hooked! They smell so good, they are strong so everything smells so lovely even the towels. I haven’t had any residue or problems with the disintegration of the capsule.

If you have sensitivities to detergent, I would go for something not as strong smelling. I did a huge load of towels and they smell lovely, so the scent is quite powerful. I would wash your baby clothes and underwear in OMO sensitive so it doesn’t irritate skin.

I will b...

Did some research and these were supposed to be the best on the market. What a joke. Leaves a residue on everything ( I can feel it on my hands after hanging clothes up to dry) and the “scent” is overpowering. Yuck. And to top it off, they didn’t clean some minor stains which I would expect to come out. Overpriced and ineffective. Bad combo

The capsules always seem to leave a residue on my clothes. I think it’s the outer skin of the capsule. So I have to rewash everything. They do smell though. Not happy, so back to powder.

I got OMO free with my new Bosch Washing machine and it’s harsh on my clothes and linen. Doesn’t measure up to Cold Power at all. My towels and clothes are no where near as soft and clean. I will use my free powder but as soon as it’s gone - I’m back to Cold Power for sure.

Used to love omo, smelt nice, cleaned well, a good detergent. The recipe change has lead to sudsy detergent that doesn’t clean very well at all and leaves clothes dirty.

Clothes always washed well and soft. Use to smell awesome but Omo has changed product fragrance and does not smell as good now. I am going to try some other products to see if there is something better
