What Is Your Preferred Detergent of Choice?

[ultrawash]

Greetings all! My apologies if this thread has already been done but what are your preferred additives of choice?

 

[luxflairguy]

Powdered TIDE w/ bleach!

 

[egress]

we use tide pods for general washing, arm & hammer powder for hot water (sometimes with a dash of oxi clean, but not too much or else its foam party) and a special dark detergent for delicate dark clothing.

 

[ultrawash]

I haven't used powder in a while. I heard it was more bio-degradable than its liquid counterpart.

 

[ultrawash]

The detergent I am currently using is liquid Tide Odor Rescue.

 

[vacerator]

Persil liquid

Our grandson says Pussil. He aslo calls me minke'. (mankeya) In Italain, minke means pistola. He likes how his Mario underwear feels on his he says. No I didn't teach him the words.

 

[appnut]

Liquid Tide Ultra Stain Release!!

 

[maytag85]

Tide Powder or Ariel powdered phosphate detergent.

 

[DADoES]

 
Primary = Persil Power-Pearls (have 2 bottles remaining), Persil 2-in-1 Power-Liquid, Cheer Stay Colorful powder, Biz powder, chlorine bleach, STPP.

Snuggle Exhilarations Lavendar & White Orchid.

Bought a bottle of Downy WrinkleGuard a few months ago.  It works nicely but is more goopy than Snuggle so I don't use it much.

Stashed for occasional use = Wisk liquid (1.5 bottles remain), Foca powder.

Stashed for rare use = Fresh Start (1.5 bottles remain).

I switch them around

<span style="font-family: 'American Typewriter', serif;">I flip flop between Miele UltraPhase and plant based products by The Laundress.  Both do a really nice job and they both have a nice scent to them.</span>

 

[ea56]

Gain Liquid Original scent.

[qsd-dan]

Kirkland Ultra Clean liquid for cold (85F)
Kirkland Super Concentrate powder for warm (120F) and hot (160F)[this post was last edited: 4/26/2021-16:47]

 

[lakewebsterkid]

currently

Tide plus Downy FREE

However, I did recently purchase some Mrs. Meyers Rain Water scent detergent, and it is very good. Very low sudsing shockingly enough!

 

[lakewebsterkid]

forgot additives

STPP in all loads.
BIZ liquid to pre-treat and powder added to loads that need it!

 

[qsd-dan]

STPP in all loads.

I added STPP to warm and hot loads for many years but after installing a water softener, there just isn't much need for it anymore.

 

[parunner58]

Tide HE Turbo
Snuggle Exhilarations Lavender & White Orchid.
Lysol Laundry Sanitizer

 

[panasonicvac]

So far, I really like using this Tide HE Ultra Mountain Spring liquid detergent. It has been my new favorite since Tide changed the scent in it's original non HE powdered detergent, I really miss those old stuff!

 

[sudsmaster]

Generally, a tablespoon of STPP followed by enough Kirkland HE Liquid to create a little suds.

 

[firedome]

detergents:

Seventh Generation liquid (for the septic) at camp.

Persil liquid at home, with 1/4 cup chlorine bleach and straight boiling hot water from faucet/hose added for whites.

 

[gelaundry4ever]

My preferred detergent

is Tide. I do like persil pro clean too.

 

[gelaundry4ever]

My preferred

laundry detergent is tide hygienic clean pods. My preferred bleach is clorox control packs. My preferred fabric softener is liquid downy.

 

[philcobendixduo]

My preferred detergent....

....is Kirkland Ultra Clean Liquid.

 

[robbinsandmyers]

Persil 146 load bottle detergent and Snuggle softener in the old Tagmay.

 

[ultrawash]

I tried snuggle one and it broke me out. How are you liking Persil?

 

[vacerator]

No skin issues

with Persil liquid. I do 3 rinses in our front loader. I have to be cautious with that for shower soap too. I like Irish Spring liquid but can't use it every day or I itch on my thighs. So I alternate with Dove form men bar.

 

[thomasortega]

For me: Tide, Tide, Tide and Tide. Original scent powder (with bleach or whatever version other than just plain.)
Eventually (average twice a year) I switch to a box of Gain Original because of the smell (together with gain FS), just to make my nose forget Tide briefly and then I can go back to Tide.

My husband prefers that Persil liquid that looks and smells like Elmer's glue.

 

[sudsmaster]

Oh, the STPP and Kirkland HE Liquid (Ultra Plus) is for the Neptune MAH7500 in the house. In the workshop I have a Miele collection, and they get Persil. Originally powder, but I went to Persil Liquid a year or two ago. Usually I only do whites in the Miele, because... well, it's good at them. No chlorine bleach for my fabrics, thank you very much.

I love it. No issues so far. I get the best deals on Ebay. Comes from a Sams Club in IN.

 

[mrsalvo]

All Free & Clear, sometimes Persil to switch things up.

The two detegergent that I use mostly are Una powder from Aldi Nord for whites and Sanamedi, a special detergent for removing allergens. Sanamedi also helps keeping the innards of your washing machine clean.
