Has anyone had Kleen Rite Soap issues?

Back in May, I ordered several Kleen-Rite soaps to test at my self-serve wash, including the Kleen White Tire and Wheel Cleaner – Kleen-Rite Self-Serve Ultra-Concentrate.

At first, I was very pleased with the product. For about the first month and a half, it had a strong minty scent, worked well, and I was overall happy with the results. Over time, the scent faded, which wasn’t an issue since the cleaning performance remained consistent.

However, in August I noticed a strange odor coming from my control room. At first, I couldn’t pinpoint the source, but over the past two weeks the entire property began smelling strongly of sulfur—an extremely unpleasant, putrid odor. Eventually, I traced it back to the tire and wheel cleaner.
I removed the product, cleaned out my tank, and sealed the jug in storage. Within a few days, the smell around the property noticeably improved.
I’ve reached out to Kleen-Rite via email regarding the issue but haven’t received a response yet. I’m curious if anyone else has experienced something similar with this product.
 
We've used a good amount of this product over the last few years and haven't had that issue, could be contamination or a bad batch or something else. Our scent has never noticeably faded either with that product. Hopefully they'll take care of it. How much do you have left? I would hope not much if that container is the same you opened in May?
