Laundry Detergent...

Anyone have a favorite brand? It's just me and my husband-both retired. No need for super heavy duty! Thanks...

We use Tide pods

Tide in any formulation but prefer the Pods.

@nana59, do you remember Oxydol? My aunt wouldn't wash without it back in the day.

Since it's only me, I use Arm & Hammer pods.

I read all you need to wash your clothes is white vinegar. I haven't tried just that (I've put it in with detergent) so don't know. Guess it's worth a try.

For me it's Gain Original in liquid. Love the smell and I can pull a blouse or Tee from a couple of weeks out of my drawer and the clean smell is still there, love it

I am on my second bottle of Persil and like it. Usually I use All or Costco's brand.

We use Wisk detergent and downy softner with the blue cap. Happy with both!

We don't have anything major to wash out of our clothes, so we use the cheapest pods they have at Wm. Snuggle fabric softener.

I like Tide Sport - cleans and smells so good for days afterward.

I have gone all natural. HSN had a product called Nellie's Natural Laundry Soda that I ordered. It is a powder made in Canada. You only use one tablespoon. It also came with four wool balls that take the place of fabric softener. Just as I was running out of the laundry soda, I found a bag at TJ Maxx. I like the idea of natural, I dont' have any heavily soiled clothes ever.

Nellie's All Natural Laundry Soda. I've been using it for almost a year and love it! I've been getting it on Amazon.

Same here Chessy! Natural soaps for me too! When I learned how commercial soaps coat your laundry with things to keep them looking dark or things to make them look brighter, that was it for me. My husband had skin allergies for years. When I made the laundry switch, almost all his scratching and rash trouble went away. He will not stop using his favorite shower and hand soaps, so I cannot completely help him, but changing the laundry products made a huge difference.

I've been using All free & clear (super concentrated) for quite a few years...does a great job getting laundry clean and colors don't fade. You don't need much per load becuase it's concentrated.
