bamamomto4 06-10-2002, 11:59 PM What do you use most of...liquid or powder laundry detergent??
I use powder MOST of the time,but I have used liquid from time to time. I like Gain the best..smells sooo good.....But I'll use whatever I have a coupon for :)
crdurham 06-11-2002, 12:20 AM I have always seemed to have trouble with the powder for some reason...lol....I use All Free detergent because of my dh allergies...I get it at Sams for about $12 for 300oz.....I wash clothes like crazy it seems. If I get a free sample of something I will usually use if for a load of my clothes or something whether its powder or liquid....
CountryMom 06-11-2002, 12:53 AM Tide powder, my one vice. lol
Dixie 06-11-2002, 01:06 AM I prefer liquid, because I can't get the powder to dissolve properly. I always buy what's on sale.
paelthom 06-11-2002, 09:32 AM I prefer liquid too. It seems that the powder does not dissolve as good in cold water. I like Tide, Wisk, All and Gain, but will use the other name brands if they are on sale and I have a coupon. The one that I cannot use is Surf. I break out in a rash everytime I use it. Also Bounce dryer sheets seem to irritate me. I rarely use dryer sheets, I prefer to put in liquid fabric softener or just some white vinegar.
seadream 06-11-2002, 10:31 AM I use liquid,,,the powder nevers dissolves right for me.
I use All most of the time, but will use other name brands if they cheaper.
Michelle 06-11-2002, 11:24 AM I use liquid and always have. I like Tide, Cheer, and Gain. I buy whatever is on sale or whatever I have coupons for. Lately I've been using Arm & Hammer.

Megareader 06-11-2002, 05:17 PM I use liquid and my favorite brand is...whatever is on sale!
cody15650 06-11-2002, 05:25 PM I use liquid, whatever kind is on sale & the cheapest, but most of the time I make my own & it is the liquid kind.:paw:
wife228 06-11-2002, 06:29 PM I buy the big 40 pound bucket of powder at Sam's club for $9.99 and that lasts me quite a long time.
familyceo 06-11-2002, 06:32 PM I use powder. I've been buying "Bang" detergent at the local farm store in 160 load buckets. The main ingred. is baking soda which I read is good for washing machines. I've used tide and cheer in the past and this does just as well and is MUCH cheaper! I wash way too much with the sons home for the summer. They're working part-time jobs, going to school, and sports so there are lots of clothes to wash.
justjenn 06-11-2002, 06:34 PM I like liquid the best, but I buy powder because it is cheaper here. My favorites are Tide and Gain, but I never buy them because they are too expensive.
Jerseygirl 06-11-2002, 06:50 PM Liquid-I can't stand the gritty mess when I spill powder, also I heard that undissolved powder will clog up the machine.
Karla 06-12-2002, 03:22 AM For years I used powdered soap, Now I use liquid. I have very hard water so with the liquid i only use 1/2 the amount called for or less, ( I'd have to wash the clothes 3x's or more to get the suds out if I didnt) and the clothes come out just as clean, so a $4 bottle of liquid lasts me 6-8 wks...Karla
dz_blonde_girl 06-12-2002, 10:51 AM What did we do in the days before liquid laundry soap? *L* I use liquid too, because that powder stuff just doesn't disolve, never did! I was using Tide, but I went to Sam's yesterday and got 300 oz of Member's Mark for $9.99. I'm pretty sure it's Cheer in there. I've used it before and I like it. 300 oz should last me almost 6 months if I can keep my dh from doing laundy. (he fills the cap clear to the top - I think I'll try drawing a big black line on it for him)
taylor97 06-12-2002, 11:06 AM I make my own liquid. I use this for 3/4 of my laundry. I use Gain powder, but only about 1/4 of the recommended amount. I buy Gain when it is on sale for about .10 for the recommended load.
CAGmomof2 06-12-2002, 08:16 PM I use both Powder and Liquid but lately I have used Powder!!
We use Arm and Hammer because I am allergic to alot of other Washing Detergents!! We go to Dollar General to usually buy our Washing Detergent and we pay about $5.00 for a Box that last about 60 loads I think it last us about 80 loads though!! :)
Lori Biever-Launder 06-15-2002, 06:26 PM I use whatever is the best buy. I just finished a huge bucket of Sun I got for 5.98. I am now using Purex. My clothes are always clean! I prefer powder beacuse it's usually a better buy.
mom2knk 06-16-2002, 11:36 PM I prefer liquid and I mostly use Tide. I do like Gain as well. I like the Wisk tablets but only buy if I have a good coupon or see them at the 99¢ store.
QuilterMom 06-17-2002, 12:23 PM I only use liquid. I stopped using powder probably 10 years ago because it never would dissolve all the way.
I also only use All Free Clear - love it! (Can't stand the smell of other detergents and some make me break out)
keilley 06-17-2002, 02:53 PM I use powder. Sam's members mark brand. I have been pretty happy with it. My dh who is very picky with detergent has not complaints about it. I use half of the amount called for even though we have hard water. It works fine.

KathiS 06-18-2002, 06:30 AM I usually use powder. I use what ever Sam's Club has a good price on.
Katybird 06-21-2003, 12:37 PM I always use liquid. I am not brand loyal though, I will use whatever I can get a good price on. I do love Fab Rain Forest scent, it smells wonderful.
