Washing detergent.
Which one do you use?
Is it me, or do they all smell like toilet block fresheners? The one I used at home was infused with lavender and camomile or some such thing, I loved it. |
Re: Washing detergent.
No name cold water.
Chemically all the detergents are pretty much the same, the rest is just marketing and packaging and different perfumes, and I just want clean clothes and dont care about the rest. The water softener made far more difference to our laundry than any detergent ever did. |
Re: Washing detergent.
Kirkland, packaged to look a lot like Tide.

Do you have anything to GAIN by asking this question?

Purex (HE) - just bought some SURF (HE) as it was on super cheap offer - $5 for a big thingy. You can get flowery smelling stuff here, I prefer the ones that smell (supposedly) fresh/of the sea and wotnot.

Re: Washing detergent.
I use one called Ecos - supposedly an eco friendly plant based one, but it doesn't smell over perfumed. It is scented with lily and magnolia essential oils, so it is a nice floral scent rather than the overpowering artficial ones that some detergents have.
And it is fairly cheap, comes in huge bottles and if you have a HE machine you only need a teeny tiny bit of it so it lasts for ages. Costco and Canadia Tire sell it. |

Meyers - love the smell, comes in Verbena (which I use) and Lavender - they do a whole range of things in those fragrances, washing up liquid, dryer sheets, all purpose cleaner.

Don't think I have seen that one. Which stores sell it?
But simply to echo our venerable moderators point, they're all the same bar the food dye etc. I worked for Proctor & Gamble when I was 18. Believe me. |

Re: Washing detergent.
We use "ERA" which is recomended by Chuck Norris. Smells great plus it kicks the shit out of dirt & stains. ;)
