Yes I think some make my clothes look brighter ,whiter or smell nicer than others.  It's not just an ad come on.

I use Tide 95% of the time, unless money is super tight, then I get a lesser priced soap

I am using All laundry detergent and like it.

I am allergic to all laundry soaps on the market but many years ago I found that Amway's laundry soap didn't bother me plus it cleans so good that I don't have to use bleach.
Title: Re: Laundry Soap
Post by: plennis on January 06, 2015, 09:40:06 pm
I like Amway too, but most of the time I use All with no dyes, no perfumes super sensitive.

I always use Gain.  I like the lavender scent and it works best for my clothes.  My clothes look cleaner and brighter.

I have used Tide for years ... when I was a kid my mom tried a bargain brand and it made me itch .. had to rewash all my clothes

Post by: natashaspy on January 07, 2015, 04:52:43 am
I absolutely love Gain. It works well and smells great.  I just don't get to use it because my hubby is allergic to it :( .  About the only thing I've found that he is able to use is All clear and Xtra.  Luckily the Xtra works well and is cheap too!
Title: Re: Laundry Soap
Post by: braggin on January 07, 2015, 06:59:40 am
We usually use either TIDE or GAIN. There doesn't seem to be much difference in most of the brands on the market unless you have to pick certain ones due to skin sensitivities. They all clean about the same.
Title: Re: Laundry Soap
Post by: pookie22 on January 07, 2015, 07:50:19 am
I love Gain Lavender scent for laundry detergent.  I have used All, which is good too, but in my opinion doesn't clean as well as Gain.  I also like to add those scent beads to my laundry (and I keep some in a baggie with pinholes in it in my dresser drawers to keep everything smelling nice)

Ok don't laugh but I use a no name from the dollar store. I find that it works just as good and they are scented :)

Post by: bremer51 on January 07, 2015, 11:12:05 am
I use ERA liquid.  It cleans well and I can usually find a coupon or sale price on it.
Title: Re: Laundry Soap
Post by: Nancy5 on January 07, 2015, 11:16:42 am
I use Tide.  I really think it cleans the best.  I remember years ago their commerical "if it's got to be clean, it's got to be Tide"  and I really do believe that. 
Title: Re: Laundry Soap
Post by: vg7405 on January 07, 2015, 11:19:57 am
I like using Purex. I used to use the liquid detergent, but I personally believe that the powder form lasts longer (and therefore saves money).
Title: Re: Laundry Soap
Post by: monnee on January 07, 2015, 11:49:32 am
I use free & clear of all perfumes or scented laundry detergent,

I like Tide with bleach (and Seventh Generation).

Post by: vickysue on January 07, 2015, 03:13:35 pm
I used to sell Amway and really liked their soap and then I got away from it and have never gone back. Thanks for reminding me about it. I am going to find another dealer. Most of the soap bothers me and the dry is a lot worse then the liquid.  Once in a while I will make my own, but it just does not get the whites as clean as I want. But it is a lot cheaper. I guess I  had better get some more made am almost out. But I use tide for the whites.

Post by: cathy37 on January 07, 2015, 03:42:03 pm
I use Tide Pods and I love them.  They are easy to use, all you do is throw the pod in the washing machine and go.  It also has a nice smell.

Post by: hicaniplay on January 07, 2015, 11:04:53 pm
Whatever I happen to grab :P I'm not really attached to a brand. Lately we've been using Sun, but if something else comes up cheaper I've no problem with switching.

I use Roma. It's cheap, a little goes a long way and it works great.

Tide, but it's expensive compared to the other brands.

Tide, I'll stick with it, because my husband and son are allergic to others so I don't other brands anymore.
Title: Re: Laundry Soap
Post by: sharonpatri55 on January 08, 2015, 05:52:43 am
Tide is our most used laundry soap in our household; Gain would be our second. They are both on the pricey side, but they do a much better job of cleaning clothes and getting the stains out.
Title: Re: Laundry Soap
Post by: inertia4 on January 08, 2015, 07:04:21 am
I have used a few different ones. One of my favorites has to be Arm and Hammer.

I've been using Extra, a fairly cheap brand, generally I stick with the lowest price laundry soap-and so far haven't found any difference.

I use TIDE - I really think it does a better job.

I use tide like the way it cleans clothes.
Title: Re: Laundry Soap
Post by: linderlizzie on January 16, 2015, 07:35:45 am
I use liquid All. I only use a tiny bit because I think the directions tell you to use too much. If your clothes are not that dirty, there's no need to put much more than 1/4 cup per load. And I love conserving things so that I save money!  :highfive:

On warmer days I hang my wash outside. It's a real energy saver using the sun and the breeze to dry your things. Some people don't like how the towels feel when they're dried outside, but the truth is they soften as soon as they touch your wet body. :-[ And if crackly towels really bother you, you can put them in the dryer on air dry after you let them dry a little outside first and they'll feel softer. You still save energy and, therefore, money.

I always hang up my delicate laundry items inside. The dryer beats up your clothes and they don't last as long. Oh yes, it does.  :sad1: Just another one of my conservation measures.  :peace:

Gain is my favorite but as of right now our household is using tide. I don't know the name of it but it comes in a yellow bottle.
Title: Re: Laundry Soap

Tide or Gain is the best but if I'm broke I use Fab or Foca, both are pretty good.

I use tide a lot of times. I also believe that all the detergents have the same ingredients because I read the labels in almost all of them.

Title: Re: Laundry Soap
Post by: anonymous012 on January 21, 2015, 07:42:54 pm
I use Arm and Hammer, and then, I was experimenting with All liquid and Cheers liquid. I put Snuggles in the liquid dispenser too. Made my clothes soft. I like Woolite, but it's a major rip off on how much the bottle size is, so I only fill it for one line or less. $10 it cost and don't see much coupons. I read this site too http://www.diynatural.com/homemade-laundry-detergent-soap/2/. Team Borax good too. I wanted to try homemade laundry but never got to it.

 Downy horrible and made me breakout and itchy. I used Tide in the past, but $23+ wasn't worth it.

yes i use the tide pods and they seem to be a good fit for my laundry and brighter also use the oxie on my white clothes and there also in a pod love them really like been use them for yrs.
Title: Re: Laundry Soap
Post by: titus25 on January 22, 2015, 08:07:59 am
Personally I think Tide or Era are the best but you pay for it so is it worth it?  Maybe using less of the higher end would end up being the equivalent of using more of the cheaper stuff.  Also if a person had coupons and watched the sale ads they could get the better stuff for the cheaper price.  I make my own or use the all natural kind because we recycle our water and we only have 2 in our house so I hand wash clothes and we don't get overly dirty so. 
Title: Re: Laundry Soap
Post by: camellia0 on January 24, 2015, 07:56:51 am
I like the tide pods. These are perfect for my child in college. He can use these and not worry about putting too much detergent in his clothes. I like name brand detergents versus the cheaper ones. They definitely get stains out.

Title: Re: Laundry Soap
Post by: BlackSheepNY on January 24, 2015, 11:23:54 am
For whites, I use Tide with Bleach.  For the colored or dark clothes, we use Wisk.  I'm pretty impressed with the Wisk, really.  If there's a spot or oil on the clothes, I take a little, pour it on the spot, rub it in and let it sit while I'm doing the rest of the laundry.  It takes the spot out.  I like the Tide with Bleach because it really makes the whites bright.  I have tried that OxiClean stuff and it stinks.  I won't waste my money on that anymore!
Title: Re: Laundry Soap
Post by: aharr1 on January 24, 2015, 11:37:47 am
My favorite type of laundry soap is the cheapest, I do think there is a difference between tide and the other ones but not enough of a difference to pay that much extra money!

The best detergent for laundry on the market, as far as I'm concerned, is WISK.  It not only cleans the clothes but I also use it to eliminate stains, like a stain remover, only I don't buy all the "separate" products.  I think if you give it a try, you'll love it.

I have two favorite laundry soaps for my family. I like the Tide All free and clear for my son who has eczema and I have Tide with Downy (April Fresh) for the rest of the family. As soon as I get the laundry mixed up, my son comes up in a dry, itchy rash which takes a few days to go with the use of hydrocortisone cream. Again once or twice I have been tempted to buy a cheaper alternative, buy my son pays for it so I switch back.
Title: Re: Laundry Soap
Post by: Slim54321 on February 06, 2015, 10:41:17 pm
I've tried A Lot of laundry detergents But I must say Tide's is hands down the best and why they are so expensive. I just hate when you take out laundry with the cheap detergent and it seem like you didn't even wash the load just gross I've had to rewash a load because of it. 
Title: Re: Laundry Soap

My favorite laundry soap is Purex.  I love the fragrance and it does a great job on cleaning my clothes.  Yes there is a difference in laundry soap brands.  It all depends on what you want in a detergent as to what you should buy and how you want your clothes to look.  :)

The best laundry soap I have ever used is hands down WISK!!!  It takes out stains and makes the entire wash come out beautifully clean and since it's a liquid there will never be a "build-up" of caked powder soap in your pipes!!!!

Let me tell you people. I use to love laundry soap Gain I also used Tide but I recently have learned how many harmful chemicals are added to make these products and other different brands of laundry soaps. I came across all natural without harmful chemicals what so ever, safe around kids, and if kids accidently drank it it won't harm them its that natural and its called Melapower. After using it I was sold forever and it is much cheaper. One melapowet detergent had 96 load where 3 small tides would combine 96 loads and those 3 tides would cost around $38 at Walmart, where melapower would just cost $17. Im sold forever and the results are great. So why do we use chemicals where there are apsolutly natural products out there?
