Laundry Detergent question - Page 2

I like All Free & Clear. I used to use Arm & Hammer unscented but found it wasn't doing the job of getting clothes clean anymore and made the switch.

For me, the absolute worst I ever used was Purex - it was like I put the load in on a water rinse cycle only. It didn't clean anything.

I use one full cap of the original Tide per load & I fill the machine up with as much water as it will hold/allow ... I like my clothes to come out clean & smelling fresh .... I recently bought a new washer & found a GE that allows you to fill it with a full basin of water which is right up my alley 😍

I don’t stick to just one detergent, but always stick to specific brands. Right now I have Tide Simply Clean, Era, Arm and Hammer with OxyClean pods, and a stash of Wisk. We use Purex in the washer in the basement on rugs, dog towels, etc. I am not in the market for any new products; I just stick to what works here.

Teacher daughter uses only Method laundry detergent.

Trucker daughter uses only Tide; 3 different types in both liquid and pods.

I agree with @Mominohio.... I hate being around people that smell like a box of dryer sheets.....

My husband has an allergic (itchy) reaction to detergents. I've used Tide free but it obviously is not really "free". I was reading online about it & people were saying it was the worst for allergies no matter how many rinses. I now use Nellies & it is great!

i use to use regular detergent years ago but my wife started breaking out in a rash on her arms. her mom said its from detergent. so ever since then like 8 years ago i have been usig all free n clear with great results. i bought a he washer and didnt like the cleaning results i bought tide free n clear and then she broke out with red rash and welts from head to foot. so i rewased all her clothes in all free n clear and have never bought anything except all. as for he washer i got use to it and it was fine. good luck bonnielu.

Sometimes when I walk my dog in my neighborhood I'll get a strong whiff of someone's dryer sheet coming out their dryer exhaust as I walk by. It stinks. ...and I'm thinkin' to myself 'Gosh, if they only knew what was in those sheets'.

There have been times when I have had to shut my kitchen windows because of the dryer sheet smell coming from a neighbors house. It can be so bad sometimes you can actually taste it.

Aside from the way they smell, they leave a film all over everything.
