Do you like liquid detergent or the pods?

Ladybug837 — Sun, 07 Aug 2016 18:47:59 GMT

We just had to get a new washing machine and it came with a sample of Tide pods. I've never used pods so I'm just curious to see what y'all like. I looked around on the internet and saw that All, my favorite brand, has the fragrance free with oxi clean in a pod and if I like the Tide pods I might check those out. I'm sensitive to strong smells so I'm just going to use the samples I got on our towels but not our clothes or sheets.

Liquid. Used Publix "Free & Clear" for years, but recently it doesn't seem to get some things as clean. Switched to the Tide version for now and it seems better. Wonder if Publix changed the vendor for their brand.

I use liquid Purex and have for years and years. It's cheaper and does a super job cleaning and removing stains from our laundry. I haven't tried the pods because they are expensive compared to Purex liquid.

I like the pods best, but won't buy them unless I get a good sale and then I stock up.

None of he above. Nellie's Laundry Soap is the greatest!

I use pods for the dishwasher. Liquid for the laundry. I can't imagine using the same amount of detergent in a small load of laundry as you would use in a large load. That is why I stick with liquid in the laundry.

When I run the dishwasher, it is always full. Not so with the laundry. LM

I use Kirkland pods for laundry and BJ's pods for the dishwasher. I am thinking of trying the Persil pods from Walmart. I just like the convenience of pods, especially since my front loader washer is on a pedestal and is a little high up to easily pour detergent. It is difficult enough to get the fabric softener and bleach into it.

I prefer to measure out liquid detergent as I do different sizes of wash loads. I add more soap for dirty things, less soap for towels and sheets. They aren't very dirty and I don't want soap residue.

I'm using Costco Kirkland Environmentally Friendly in the huge jug. Lasts a long time.

I got a new Bosch dishwasher (which I LOVE) and was told only use POWDER dishwashing detergent, not liquid, not pods. That's what I use and I also use Finish as Bosches do not have dryer units. My dishes come out sparkling.

I use liquid All for my washing machine (concentrated)

Be very careful with these premeasured items if you have a water softener in your home. I used a pod in my dishwasher one time and the soap was excessive. Laundry would probably be the same. I also like Nellies.

I still use liquid. If I have astain that needs soaking, I can add some liquid detergent.

Sometimes I only have a small load and wouldn't need to use a whole 'pod' either...

Tide Free & Clear liquid. I like to control the amount I use. Small loads, delicates require less. Stanky, dirty jeans & gym clothes, more.

I got a sample of the Tide Pods, couldn't get past the smell.

I haven't tried the pods because I rarely run a full load. I use liquid and always a bit less than suggested. My clothes don't get dirty.

I love the All Free and Clear Pods. They work beautifully and don't have any dyes or scent.

I prefer liquids. You know, that waxy pod has to go somewhere, and it could be gunking up your machine/pump as it "melts", or maybe there is a residue left in your clothing. If nothing else it is down your drain and possibly a clog starter. So no to pods.

Off topic, my favorite new detergent is Persil. Love the scent. I am addicted I think to the scent now.
