Which laundry detergent do you use?

RyanJ · Coach

I LOVE Gain. I am really weird about scents, so it is hard for me to find one that I like.

Aurora · Marc Jacobs

Another user of All Clean and Clear!!

Kel · Coach

Tide cold water. I switched once and i broke out in hives, so now I am afraid to switch

tri_sarah_tops · Marc Jacobs

Also Tide Coldwater. I really like it.

Deuce · Dooney & Bourke

I was usuing cheer free or tide free, but we recently got a High Efficency washer and dryer. The only HE soap in free is tide. So In short I use Tide HE Free. And bounce dryer sheets, which dont make me itchy.

Becca · Kate Spade

Tide liquid and Bounce dryer sheets.

I switch at least every two mos., but now I'm using Arm & Hammer Fresh Scent, the liquid kind, my Mom left it out there the last time she was there, so.....

erin · Chanel

i think tide liquid detergent in mountain spring scent. (or mountain fresh? i don't know) i bought a HUGE jug of it awhile ago and it's lasted me almost a year. when this is done, i might switch to costco's brand of powder detergent.

Third.

And I don't use dryer sheets, I think they make my towels less absorbent.

Me too. I loooove the smell of new laundry!

valenciana · Dooney & Bourke

i usually use Cheer, but last time i bought this concentrated detergent by Method cause it's in a smaller bottle and has no fragrance. i like it alright, but will probably only buy it again if it's cheaper or on sale or whatever. i always use Downy fabric softener.

blink · Coach

Tide HE for my front loader. Tide is the best for cleaning and for preserving fabrics. As for scent, I actually prefer light to no scent, but Bounce clean linen scented sheets are okay.

We just bought a Duet! I read that crap about only using HE detergent, but I am convinced it's one of those things they say just to get the sale. I wouldn't think that, but Tide is the only detergent that is HE, plus they put Tide in their advertising pictures of the Duet so I think they have some kind of deal. Who knew there could be conspiracies about these kinds of things, lol?!?

I like Mrs. Meyer's in all the flavors: Lavendar, Geranium, and Lemon (my favorite).

I saw a commercial for Gain in a new scent. I think I'm gonna try it next time.

and thanks ejc for the tip on the dryer sheets with towels- I never thought about that.

for my black clothing: Woolite Dark

for everything else: Method- which is a Tarjey brand

dot · Marc Jacobs

haha this is funny because i was at target last night.. like what to buy what to buy?...

i always go back to gain. i tried method but didn't feel like it worked so well. i love the smells of gain. i like their fabric softner too.

do people here use fabric softner and drier sheets? i was wondering if it was necess. to use both.

nunzi182 · Kate Spade

I buy whatever is on sale. The last kind that we bought was All though. It was a HUGE container for $7.99 (half off!). I also just bought a brand called Dynamo. It smells so fresh!

Dot, I only use dryer sheets, not sure if it's necessary to use both the liquid and the sheets, but I just use sheets.

luckyclover · Dooney & Bourke

Well I got a sample of Tidecoldwater and several of you said you liked it. I used it and it smells so good! So that's the detergent I picked up this time.
