@Carolina925 Amazon is the cheapest place to get Diva.  But!  You do have to watch out for counterfeit products.  This is the seller I seek out and use, and their Diva is the real thing:  SportingDoc.  Screenshot 2026-07-21 7.37.50 AM.png

Another vote for laundry sheets.  Will never schlep another heavy detergent bottle.  Currently using Arm and Hammer but may try Trader Joe's version next.

I use original Tide (liquid) for my whites & light colors.  I use Arm & Hammer w/ Oxiclean (liquid) for everything else.

I used to use Woolite for Darks on my clothes, Gain for everything else. Got where I couldn't find the Woolite in any local stores--tried ordering from Amazon, but the bottles often leaked in shipment.

 

Then I discovered Persil--works just as well as the Woolite on colors, plus I can get it locally. Comes in "economy size" bottles, is cheaper than the Woolite.

 

Don't need Gain anymore either, since the Persil is easy to get, cost-effective, and works for ALL my laundry.

My Mom used ALL and so I did, too. First the powder and now I use the free and clear liquid. I have tried others and always go back to ALL. I like that it has no scent and for sensitive skin.

I alternate between Costco's Kirkland liquid laundry detergent or whatever liquid laundry detergent is cheapest at Walmart.  Frankly, I can't tell the difference but then I'm not washing really filthy, stained, greasy laundry, either.  

The CDC team that tracked Cyclospora was axed. What could possibly go wrong?

I use Tide OxiClean liquid but do an extra rinse due to my allergies. 

 

When my sisterinlaw would get angry w/my brother, she would sometimes wash his clothes in laundry detergent that made him itch.

My favorite is Tide powder because I think powder cleans better.  I wish Tide made a Free & Clear option though.

I recently changed to detergent sheets. They clean as well as liquid detergent and are easy to tear if you have a smaller load. They don't take up so much space and there is less plastic floating around the world. 


I agree!

Forgot to add detergent choice. I am not picky. I think most liquid detergents are pretty much the same. Unless of course you have allergies.
