I have been looking for the best laundry detergent. I want my clothes to smell really good. So does anyone have any suggestions? Should I use the liquid fabric softner as well as the sheets or what is the secret to having your clothes smell sooo good??

Do you smoke???? That might have something to do with it. My boyfriend's sister uses something and I do not know what it is. But it smells so good and there clothes always smell good.
If I was you I would think of using all different kind of soaps untill you get a smell you want. It will also let you know what you do not like. I would reccommend mixing them.

:wave:You can spray your things with a floral scent spray they sell. They come in all sorts of scents. I like the vanilla bean, because it makes my sheets smell like cookies!!!!
-
I use Downy Liquid fabric softner, I love it! you might want to try it
-
:) Tide laundry detergent has many fragrances.
-
I like Tide and you can get it in some different fragrances. We can also add some baking soda to the wash to help with smells!!
-
Purex is good. And I love Suavitel Liquid Fabric Softener, the fragrance lasts for a long time. They are both inexpensive. For really fresh smelling clothes sometimes my Mom would add lemon juice or white vinegar to the rinse cycle.
-
I usually try to find environmentally friendly detergent. Almost everything going down the drain here, winds up in the ocean.
-
Purex is good and inexpensive but it is not suitable for my babies skin it cause irritation so their pediatrician advised me to change to All (Free & Clear) and it work great with their sensetive skin as it doesn't contain any perfume or dye
-
I use Tide detergent and Downy fabric softener. Both in Lavender scent and you can't tell from our fabric that we smoke in this house.
-
what ever my wife likes - and what gets the cloths clean - any product you choose will work - but are the chemicals good for you and the cloths - remember you do have to ware the cloths and the cloths do have trace element left in them - now that everyone is "going green" - is it good for the planet - Health, Happiness, Peace, and Positive Perspective - IMHO >> In My Humble Opinion - The MUSEUM, Zazzle
-
I like Tide with Bleach and recently I used an off brand fabric softener from family dollar and our clothes smelled better than the name brand. Also, I like to put a fresh fabric softener sheet in the drawer with my clothes.
-
Love Tide and its good for sensitive skin.
-
well im 18 n a very active teen bt wen I have a big date gain detergent is the way 2 go.Gain has that freshness that everyone needs n 2 add itwith the dryer sheetsomg smeels so good
-
thanks for all the replies..and for the record I DONT smoke. I just have 3 small kids and so from all the dirt and food on thier clothes they just don't smell appealing. they don't stink but i want a fresh nice clean smell. and i have 2 that are going threw potty training so that gets in the mix. So Im not sure what to do. I will try mixing as one person has said and see if that helps. and i will start using the liquid and sheets for fabric softner
-
I like Tide the best for its cleaning quality of stains but you must also use a pre-treater like Shout. The Purex 3-in-1 makes your clothes smell really good but I still use an additional laundry detergent on top of it.

Being a Mother of 6, I have always spent more for Tide because it WORKS! I usually get it with the Downy April fresh in it and our clothes are clean & smell GOOD!
but... I just recently tried the new 3-in-1 Purex laundry sheets - they are amazing!!!!!!! Stick them in with the wash, unload your clothes sheet and all into the dryer - no more measuring, spilling, adding dryer sheets, sooooo simple! You have to try these out :)

Harness the power of nature!
We use Purex Natural Elements detergent, usually Lilies and Linens scent, and Seventh Generation fabric softener. We only wash in cold water and I think they both do an excellent job. Plus, both are easily degradable and don't have the impact others do on water supplies, oceans, etc.
The Purex leaves a faint detergent smell afterwards. It is not at all strong, nor do I think it should be. In all honesty, I'm guessing the stronger the smell is the more likely it is very artificial or chemically induced. :dontknow:
We don't use fabric softener sheets. There's something about an item where even when you take a blow torch to it, you can't really catch it on fire or melt it. I therefore don't want the residues of said items on my clothes to be rubbing against my skin all day...

i use oxi clean becuz bill mays was so annoying that i went and bought it. HI IM BILLY MAYS HERE WITH MY NEW PRODUCT OXI CLEAN!!!
-

I use All Stainlifter and store brand(Price Chopper) original scent sheets. My clothes always smell GOOD and are really soft!
-
I use Purex mostly, but I just love all the scents of Gain. Your clothes smell so fresh and feel so soft, although I only buy it when its on sale. Detergents these days are so damn expensive.
-
I like Purex too. I think it has gotten better since the old days, I remember a time I wouldn't buy it because it had a horrible smell and didn't get the clothes clean. It really does a great job these days, so I don't know what changed.
-
I use Tide with downy in it and use boune dryer sheets. They smell so good and are so soft. Its especially nice with all my kids blankets. ;D

-
We use Tide mountain spring laundry detergent. SA8 is too expensive but that is the best
-

Tide works very well. I love the scent of gain. I only buy the name brands. With sales and coupons they are cheaper and do a better job when compared to off brands or store brands.
-
