ok thanks everyone tried a few different ones but they just dont remove the stains
Noone can afford Tide unless you have millions.I buy whatever Cvs has on sale and they all work.With cpns sometimes
    Try using Dawn Dishwashing liquid mixed with baking soda to pretreat a stain..  Hydrogen Peroxide is a good pretreatment for protein stains, which includes blood.

I would say Hydrogen Peroxide. I've used Dr. Bronner's all in one liquid soap and it worked well also.

Tide always breaks me out.  I must be allergic to it.  I noticed a few others seem allergic to it also.  I'll stick to the Purex brand I mention earlier.  Not only is it less expensive than Tide, but it doesn't break me out.

I use anything that is on sale. At my store laundry detergent is usually always on sale.

I use anything that cleans well and doesn't break me out.  As I said Tide breaks me out.  So far it's the only detergant that does.  :peace:

If you go to the dollar store, Tide is cheaper, but also if you look on the back of the off brands there are some that are made by the popular brands. Right now I am using  Trend  , and I hand wash and use the hottest water, but I prefer Arm and Hammer.
If you want tide , just coordinate the coupons online with the deals in the news print.
Hope this helps you.

Love the bucket of oxy and water mixture in a tub.  I'm gonna do that for next years lawn mowing season.  For several years I used a wonder washer.  I used a mixture of the cheapest detergent out there, baking soda (From aldi) and for the rinse cycle I mixed a couple T. of body spritz in with water.  Put an ad on craigslist for free stinky perfumes... picked up bags of body sprays so I was stocked.  Then I hung the close up around the house to dry... out in the deck in the summer.

I love Tide and have used it for years.  I know it's exoensive, but I watch for coupons.  When my grocery store has it on sale I go to the Internet fir Tide coupons, I usually fine someplace that will send 10 or more )1.00 coupons for $1.00.  Between the sale and the coupons I can afford it, and stick up on Tide.

You can remove some stains with plain old dish detergent. I have yet to find a laundry detergent that gets out all every stain to my liking.

My sister made her own laundry detergent. She learned how so I have been using that. Gain is my favorite but I can't really afford it either. Occasionally I splurge and buy it for myself but not very often.

The sun removes lots of stains! Seriously, line dry it or just lay it out with the stain facing the sun. It helps a lot.

I am partial towards the powder detergent. When I was stationed in Germany, it was the first laundry product that I purchased (the detergent powder Purex, in a large box). It was priced at $2.95 at the time I purchased it, and it was very effective in eliminating stains and leaving a lavendar smell on my clothing. It has probably increased since I last purchased it, but it was inexpensive but effective. :-)
