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
, but ohhh well, such is life.
