What's the Best Laundry Soap?
Any opinions on the best brand of liquid laundry soap? I bought some that you had to use 3 capfuls to get the dang clothes clean but I can't remembe what brand it was. I dont' want to buy that again! And the Tide is like 3 times as expensive as the others but if you don't need much then I guess it's worth it. So what say ya'll. Which is the best value?

I really like Purex and All. I find they are a tad bit cheaper and work just as well as Tide. I can usually find coupons for Purex and All fairly easy too so I try to stock up when they are on sale.

I also use a scoop full of Oxi-Clean in each load of laundry. I find it is well worth the price. You can get a great deal on a big bucket of it at Sam's Club.

Tide. Noone has allergic reactions (itching and such) and it gets the stains out.

I love smell. I like gain. It is a little more expensive, but it cleans and leave your clothes smelling good for weeks! If i can't get that, then iI use Fab. It cleans, but the smell is not as good a gain, but they are a great value.

I use All Free & Clear (DW is allergic to perfumes) and a scoop of Oxi Clean.
I just won a years supply of Seventh Generation products and have been using their free and clear detergent and it works great too (but I think it's a little more expensive) along with Oxi Clean, of course!!!

So Rove is on Fox News running off a bunch of numbers about Ohio counties...Megan Kelly looks at him and asks " Is this just math that you do as a Republican to make yourself feel better, or is this real" OMG LOL

Tide HANDS DOWN.. and you dont have to use as much as they say on the bottle.. I often use less and my clothes are still clean and fresh.

Its more expensive than the others but it gets the job done.. with laundry detergent you get what you pay for

I get discard clothing from the donation place, wash it and fix if for the people around here (the ones that don't qualify for free stuff because they are working, but can't afford clothes) and some of that stuff STINKS. The new febreze Tide totally works on those nasty clothes.

I want room service!

I like cold water tide. I'm sure I save more than the cost of the detergent by washing everything in cold water.

I hope you are looking in the freebie forum for free detergent and ask for coupons up here.

My favorite is Kirkland from Costco. Consumer's Reports likes it, too. I use less than recommended cause I have a front loader; w orks great.

I use either All Free & Clear or the Kirkland Signature Free & Clear. They seem to work pretty well.

I usually use whatever cheaper kind is on sale, but as soon as I won a years worth of Tide Coldwater I switched, they both smell good, but Tide cleans better
