Powder, liquid, pods. When it comes to laundry detergent, the options seem endless.

Quick tip: Dawn dishwashing liquid in a spray bottle makes a great stain lifter. 5%Dawn 95% water removes most stain even motor oil

I'm watching videos on what laundry detergent to use. I need to go do something with my life.

For organic stains like food, blood, sweat use oxi clean. For oil and greasy stains use dawn dish soap and for pen ink use 70-95% alcohol . For lingering smells use white vinegar

Honestly, all the new laundry detergents are over priced and NOT needed. Get the older style powder detergents (comes in all brands for a variety of prices; but, always cheaper than liquid or pods by far). They have tide powder, down to offbrand powder. I usually get the tide powder, but, I've found some of the lower priced ones (such as gain and arm and hammer) work great too. I've never gone for the 'off brands', I wouldn't suggest that. But, to save money on detergent, get the powder stuff! Way cheaper, I feel it works better (the new pod stuff is just a gimmick and for 'ease of use' - but really, how hard is it to scoop up some powder...).

CHEAPEST & BEST OLD SCHOOL CLOTHES WASHING ADDITIVE: my grandma always put a cup of white vinegar in every wash, no matter the color because: it softens hard water preventing wrinkles, it prevents & removes armpit stains, it brightens clothes colors, it removes sweat & perfume odors. White vinegar doesn’t react with your regular detergent, either. You’re welcome 😉

The new washers don’t put enough water and clothes don’t come out clean like my new

[enchantedboy]

Arm & Hammer: it’s reasonably priced and works great.

Use cheap detergent just add 1 cup of white vinegar

I had 4 children and laundry was my favorite chore. I especially enjoyed hanging my laundry. Now I live alone in an apartment where I only have a few loads a month and no clothesline. I just buy the cheapest detergent because my clothes don’t get that dirty any more.BUT I remember reading somewhere that a good effective laundry soap is using equal parts Oxyclean and Arm & Hammer Washing Soda. I plan on giving it a try when I need to buy more detergent.

Yassss persil!!! Persil is the best detergent and it makes your clothes smell amazing and the smell radiates! Persil is better than Tide

[mwj]

I'm an Arm & Hammer guy myself. Gain and All are my other two favorites as well.

the secret to clean clothes is soft water, in scientific term, alkaline water. most tap water has a ph of 6.3, which is acidic. baking soda has a ph of 14, adding a couple of teaspoons to your laundry will produce cleaner clothes.

I use tide and basically just pre-soak everything for a hour. As a factory worker who's clothes stay saturated in sweat, grease, oil, and other chemicals it's the best I've found. I've tried the budget brands, the middle brands. Arm & hammer isn't terrible, at least for odor but actually cleaning and de-stinkafying Tide wins hands down.

I wish they'd talked more about the residue left behind on the clothing. Absorbs into your skin- lotta bad stuff in detergents.

If you're serious about saving money for laundry be smart do what I do... buy the cheapest laundry detergent and a box of borax... each time you do your laundry some borax to your detergent ...that borax is what makes everything really clean

[keg]

I really like Ariel powdered detergent. Affordable and cleans well

[Patralli]

Vinegar also helps keep your washing machine clean. Especially if you have an HE washer that stores a little bit of water after each wash. Keeps the mold and mildew smell away. I use vinegar in every wash and man what a difference!

[gokaren]

Dayummmm...some commentors cant even make decent comments without being rude and disrespectful over darn laundry soap. Pathetic.

[larrystreich]

To save money, I prefer the old fashioned way. I wave my hands over the dirty laundry while quoting Lady MacBeth:
"Out, damned spot! out, I say!"
It doesn't get my laundry clean but I save $ on detergent!
