Missed opportunity!! Let's get ready to "TUMBLE!" Great video otherwise. :)

I'm definitely in the wrong dimension. Consumer reports has a much larger fan base in my true dimension.

I wouldn't be surprised if Kirkland is made by P&G - and it's basically Tide under Costco's label.

We prefer Persil, but it's pretty close. Soak time can make a difference also.

I use pods from Sam's Club or Walmart brand liquid when using bleach.
Both work well. Often let load soak 2 hours or so before agitation.
Works well. Tide priced itself out, even with coupons. P&G on the rear view for me...

I have found that Persil is so strong that it strips dye out of clothing in effect ruining clothes that i paid good money for. A full load of my polo shirts amounts to roughly $1200.00 and I didn’t appreciate having to replace what took me two years to acquire. I carefully measure the amount of detergent matched to the size of the load according to the markings on the side of the cap that comes with the detergent bottle. There is no reason that this should have happened but I will never buy Persil again.

What's the replacement for persil stain fighter? They rebranded or discontinued it

Add some TSP to your laundry. We use Persil.

Having cleaned off layers of sticky detergent off my machine and floor, I cannot get enthused about laundry liquids. So I am a tablet sort of guy. Fun to watch.

Is it just me or do most of use the Pods now because we're too lazy to measure out the detergent? Seriously CR, how does Tide Pods compare to Tide Liquid???

[coryddp]

The check and compensation from Tide was just a little bigger and that's how you get your winner.

[RobbiePfunder]

both of these are absolutely INSANELY toxic to our bodies and environment. Just smelling either makes me nauseas. Please showcase healthier products

I've found that using just hot water and my own urine removes most stains. I think I should bottle my pee.
