Preferred Laundry Detergent. |
[Down to Last] |  |

After almost a year of going through the army sized box of laundry detergent that you get from Sam's Club (bought for me without consultation by a loving heart), I am at last down to a week's worth of the stuff, which means I need a replacement soon.
I don't want to start the new year with a war, but I was hoping that some of the members with a strong opinion would suggest one or two brands of their preferred detergent, and the name of one (or two) that have proven to be disappointments. If possible, I'd prefer a powdered brand, little to no fragrance and one that doesn't cause skin problems. Laundry is usually done in a top loader (Maytag A207). Thanks for the help. | ||

A&H is my daily driver however I have been known to experiment with off the wall brands. Foca was one that was a disaster and the liquid Oxydol was a joke too. | ||

Sounds like
You are a perfect candidate for Sears Ultra Plus detergent. I bought the 180 load box and it lasted me just about a year. Very light fragrance and it cleans well. Very little sudsing too. There are a few different kinds as well. Excellent pricing when it is on sale...which seems like all the time.
I've been using Cheer powder for several months now and I really like that too. Scent is stronger than the Sears but it's just about gone after coming out of the dryer. It suds up a lot too so you have to play with the dosing. I don't use what's recommended on the box. I'd have a suds emergency hahaha I think you'd be happy with either. It's been along time since I've had a detergent disaster lol. Probably Sun or Xtra. | ||

I've been using Tide HE Turbo (Original Scent) powder for almost a year now. I absolutely love it. It worked well in the disastrous old WhirlTurd Direct Drive and works like a million bucks in the classic Maytag. I also use Persil Pro-Clean liquid for heavier loads such as towels or jeans. It also works wonderfully.

I concur with washman The Arm and Hammer is a great powder that dissolves easily, very light fragrance, low sudsing in my front loader. Works well in my top loader too. I just finished a box. Always priced right. | ||

Gus, what persil did you have issue with?
We usually use the Megaperls (universal or senstive for whites, towels and bed linens and the color formula for colors). Scent isn't overpowering usually - and both my partner and I hate strong scents on laundry. However, we got a box of the Universal Powder and my partner seems to think it leaves a much stronger scent on the clothes than it did before. I am wondering if they changed the formula over the years.

I use Cheer Color Guard powder, without the optical brightners. I does well, the scent is clean and fresh but not overpowering. I buy it at Target. I'm very pleased so far. | ||
