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
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....
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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)
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.
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!!
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.
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.
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.
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.
