Does anyone know how well Gain laundry detergent (powder) cleans? I am running low on Tide and picked up a box of Gain. I figured it would be as good since it is a P&G product.It is certainly cheaper than Tide.

I have used Gain detergent on and off. It cleans really well and has a fresh "bath soap" scent to it. However, be forewarned that it is an EXTREMELY high-sudsing detergent. The only detergents I have seen that produce more suds than Gain are Roma and Foca Mexican detergents.
WOW
Thanks for the replies guys. So Austin,...this stuff actually foams up more than Tide? Oh boy, good thing for auto 2nd rinse.

High-Sudsing?
Really? I figured it wasn't. Will probably try it next when the Ariel runs out.

I tried the Gain fabric softener after people mentioned how good it smelled.
Good? I'm not so sure. Strong? You betcha! I don't have much of a sense of smell, but when I have a load of freshly dried laundry ready to be folded, the smell practically knocks me out. And I don't use very much, either.
People with delicate constitutions can skip the following section:
Now, freshly dried laundry is apparently irresistable to weiner dogs, so there is usually a weiner buried among the pile. When we climb into bed, she is quite perfumed.
Yes! I sleep with my dog! Under the covers! And you know what? I kiss her tummy, too! ARRRGGGHHH!!! The germs, the germs!
Granny always said you have to eat a peck of dirt...
veg, who has the nerve to wonder why nobody wants to kiss him

Thats OK Veg...
I kiss my cat on the tummy and his sweet face! I let the neighbors dog kiss me too. I think exposure to a few germs keeps one healthy

Speaking of scents . .
I picked up a bottle of the Suavitel Morning Sun. It's cheap enough ($2.50 @ Wal-Mart) I may try some others.

I'd be willing to kiss Honey the Wonder Weiner Dog and you (and probably that order) if you'd be willing to kiss LJ (Northeastern Ohio's bestest cat) and me
(probably in that order).
Love and laughter!

PS-
Haven't tried Gain Liquid, but I can agree that the powder cleans well and is very sudsy.

Gain promotion
All of a sudden in the last month or so there's been a real barrage of Gain laundry detergent ads on tv touting the smell, which is unusual because normally most tv ads are Tide related. Anyone else notice

I like the smell of the Gain powder. This flavor is called original fresh.
Another thing
These DD DAA as anyone who has/had one knows do not kick up too much froth anyway.

Gain Detergent
I have the KitchenAid Ensemble front loading washer and dryer and am currently using the Gain with Bleach liquid.I use 1/2 capful and it DOES NOT make too much suds in my front loader.I also use the softner to help continue the aroma.It works great too.I highly recomend both as well as their HE detergent.It really gets my clothes clean and great smelling.Chuck

Lawrence, heaven knows my wonder weiner loves to be kissed! And I'd even be willing to give LJ a smooch or two. The sad reality is that Honey would look at LJ and think "Ah, the other white meat" and it would be downhill from there.
