This goes under POINTLESS THREADS but I thought I'd ask since I'll be up half the night doing laundry. I use Tide with the clean breeze scent. What about you?

i am allergic to most laundry soap so for my own clothes i just use a little of my shampoo and then gain laundry softener.. My son prefers snuggle. I use dreft on his socks and have found it works even better then bleach for keeping the fungus among us off of his toes.

I'm too broke to buy Tide! Right now I am using All Small and Mighty, I just got done using Purex. I can't use any of the really cheap discount brands of detergent and I have to switch after every bottle or else my body gets accustomed to the detergent and I develop a major allergic reaction. I use the Snuggle liquid fabric softner too I've tried almost all the other fabric softners but I prefer Snuggle and I also have to use the liquid.

Tide. It's my first laundry detergent and much frustration went over learning how to pour it into the little green cap, pouring that into the little slot, and then moving all those knobs to the correct settings I need for the various colors of the rainbow.

Hmmm...I read a review somewhere, its a while ago...and the Costco Kirkland Brand was in the top 5 I believe...so I bought this big thing for 10 bucks or so...and with PT stuff and dirty Cammies on top of everything else, it lasts me about 6 months...good deal, eh? :)

Plus, I have to buy the high effiency stuff and there's not too much out there yet.

I splurge on the fabric softener...I love the new Drowny simple pleasures vanilla&lavendar.

We get whatever is on sale. I think we've used every brand at one point or another. We all aren't picky when it comes to detergent, which is great because I have soooo much laundry to do! I don't even bother separating whites from darks either, lol. No OOPS yet! Right now we have ERA and AJAX. Same thing with fabric softener. Its a treat for me when we get Downey :) Purex (After the Rain) is pretty good for softener also and cheaper. I got stuck doing about 7or 8 loads of laundry Sunday without softener :mad: , but ohhh well, such is life.

I use the generic brand of Tide our supermarket has. It's called "Presidents Choice" I'm sure all the Canadians will know what it is.
It has fabric softner built in so it's a one step process, which I love cuz my downy ball always ended up as a chew toy anyways!

Tide. I get it at Sam's, but I don't think it's any cheaper there. Just lasts longer so you forget how much it costs.
