Tide Original

How much does one use for a full fill top loader ?

I use the same amount as regular Tide powder.

I'm probably going back to Tide if I can't get anymore of the Kirkland kind from Costco. If so, this time I'd use the free & clear kind they brought back. Not a big fan of scents and I certainly don't like the new regular Tide scent as much as the old one. I looked at the price for Ecolab Royal Brite Plus and wow that is the most expensive powder detergent I've ever seen, I love that stuff for the place I volunteer at once a week but I can't see myself paying that much for it. Still would like to give some others a shot like Ariel.

You're not missing that much with Ecolab Royal Brite.

Yes, it's more concentrated which equals less per pound of laundry used, but formula otherwise isn't that much different than top shelf powder detergents such as Tide or Persil (Henkel).

Ecolab Royal Brite does contain sodium percarbonate, but no activated oxygen bleaching system. That means for best results on certain wash loads will require hot water at or > 140F. Commercial or industrial laundries often use "hot" water in that range anyway for wash cycles. Ecolab's literature states product's active bleaching works at temps low as 120F. Meanwhile Persil and others with activated oxygen systems will work at 104F or even low as 86F-90F (cold water).

Regarding cost remember a commercial or whatever laundry can deduct cost of supplies as CODB. They're also pricing cost of supplies into whatever service they're offering.
