[@breewillsnails3677]

Yes..I use Dawn to wash my dishes ..and literally. 1-2 drops is all it takes for all my dishes to get clean.. blue liquid only..lol..when I get the pink Dawn liquid..it seems I need 4-5 drops on a sponge..still works better than...pamolive and Ajax.. as they take 9-10 drops..so your basically using more.spending more!! With a family of 6..I learned the cheap comes out expensive..so I definitely use Dawn..for my dishes..one bottle for 4 bucks last about a month and a half..and I look forward to trying it in the spray bottle. thanks..🤗

[@EmunahCreative]

Elvis Thoughts Add a 1/3 ratio of hydrogen peroxide to that dawn (in a spray bottle with water) and it makes a better pre-treater.

[@earthling1984]

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...).

[@bluered3057]

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

[@mariantreber8055]

Ammonia is another great detergent booster. The "fumes" go away in the wash. It's great on some stsins, too. Consult a laundry and stain removal chart.

You can hack front loaders to use more water. It needs to have the clothes fully saturated a little water in the bottom, so the clothes fall into the water and flop around.

[@Greg29]

enchantedboy66 When it comes to saving money I'm up there with the best of them, but sometimes if you want results you do have to spend the money. Persil was demonstrably better than Arm and Hammer, I could see the difference after one wash and compared that with the prior washes and they were much whiter. But if it's good enough for you that's great. A few extra dollars spread out over 64 washes isn't going to break me lol.

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 😉

[@ruestjacques]

I also forgot to mention that 1 cup of white (regular clear, see-through) vinegar in your wash keeps new clothes colorfast; which means it helps to stop them from bleeding color dyes.

@@johnjohng668 I'm sorry that you have a bad reaction to Gain. That's really unfortunate. I'm glad you have something that works for you. But personally speaking, I have to have some fragrance in my laundry. My personal favorite A&H detergent is Arm and Hammer Clean and Simple in the Crisp linen scent. It's a clear formula that isn't heavily perfumed but works great.

[@johnjohng668]

MWJ '90 thank you. I was seriously chemically injured by inhaling scented laundry and our cat had seizures. The scent (fragrance) is where most of the toxicity is. A label can state: fragrance - but it doesn’t tell us anything about the toxic chemicals that make up that synthetic fragrance. This is a loophole in the law, unfortunately. Now these products have a label: EPA’S SAFER CHOICE. Safer than what? I wrote the EPA because I was confused as to how they call anything fragranced “safer choice”. Products with fragrance are NOT safe. They are full of hundreds of chemicals which can initiate asthmatic attacks in healthy people, and can exacerbate asthma attack in those around you. So, in the end, as long as people demand scented products, we will have health issues related to the use of these products. The EWG rated most of the ARM & Hammer laundry products (D and F) for health concerns. They list the chemicals and potential health effects. I’m not telling you what to use at all. It’s everyone’s business & choice. However, I almost died from exposure to vented laundry products through dryer exhaust that entered our condo unit. I suffered nerve damage, cognitive decline, loss of muscle mass just from inhalation. Our cat had seizures that suddenly stopped when we moved. This was enough for me to thoroughly research this issue in order to protect myself from further injury. There’s always free and clear products which are safer and the use of essential oils on a washcloth thrown in the dryer. Much much safer and doesn’t support companies who are not really concerned about your health or mine. Take care.

​@@JA-gx4hbyou are correct. This is why most boxes of borax (9.24 pH) recommend about 3/4 of a CUP per load. They are also just guessing as they have no idea how hard your water is.

@@sugarbum99 I agree.

[@HeyWatchMeGo]

Anything that you wash that can tolerate HOT water, do it...and then you can cut waaay back on the amount of detergent (which will help). PS Tide Original powder is by far the best. If your eczema is really giving you grief, rinse in hot water too. Most machines won't give you that option, but when the wash water has spun out, you can manually restart the washer on the wash cycle, then just spin it out after it agitates enough to rinse your clothes. PS: Too bad the machines are all 'high efficiency' now, because they're NOT efficient, and they leave soap residue as well as not cleaning well at all. Bring back the old washing machines!!

I used to use Wisk Deep Clean, but then Henkel bought out Sun Products and discontinued it. Wisk always had top ratings, performed very well, and was also affordable. I remember going to the store and finding little tags on all of the bottles that said “Like Wisk? Try Persil!” I bought all of the bottles of Wisk they had left on the shelf, and when I ran out I switched to Kirkland Signature. Persil works fine, but it’s the most expensive stuff on the shelves and doesn’t smell nearly as good as Wisk or Kirkland.

Wow, some deep comments about laundry soap. I have a front load washing machine that uses much less water than top loading. That said, I have tried using powered detergent - not recommended either - they don't clean as well. I also don't need near as much liquid in the front loader. I recycle the bottle. There are two of us & I do laundry when we have full loads. A large container will last me 6 months.

[@kye_kaspian]

Most laundry detergents are also full of toxic chemicals, specially if it's scented. As far as I'm aware Tide ranked #1 for most toxic detergent. The clothing, bedding, towels that we 'wash' are going to be in direct contact with your skin, your children's skin all day and all night. Please do some research on the chemicals you put on your skin and put on your children. There are detergents out there that clean your clothes, perhaps not as well but that don't contain all the toxic chemicals some of these leading brands do.

[@bjune1285]

I don't like my new washer either. They conserve water, problem is sometimes you have to do an extra rinse cycle so the clothes don't feel and smell like they still have detergent in them. Best detergent I have found for stains and no pre soaking, Persil, just throw in the clothes, I use half of the recommended amount, warm, cold or hot water, didn't matter, stains come out, great stuff, worth the extra cost, and if you only use half, does not cost that much.

[@featheredfriends2683]

I have been filling up my washer more with the garden hose. I got tired of clumped up detergent being left on sheets and stuff due to the low water level. I don't think I am doing any harm to the washer, I hope not anyway lol. It still drains normally and I like feeling like my stuff is actually clean.

With Tide, you're just paying for a name. "All" works better and doesn't make your skin itch. (I have to use the unscented version of All). BUT, I have found a new favorite: "Up and Up" at Target, and it even smells better than All (including the unscented All), it also comes in an unscented, undyed version. I also use baking soda with the detergent. As for powdered detergent, I haven't seen any at any stores in years, but I have ordered it on Walmart.com.

[@davenwin1973]

The selection of powder detergent has gone down, because the demand isn't has high as it was in the 80's & 90's. For powder Tide, I can only find original scent & original scent with bleach. If I find Cheer at all, just regular. Same with gain, just original scent. Out of Henkel brands, just original scent All (feels like sandpaper, but loose), Purex in different scents, & because it's cheap, I usually find it in the classic 1`cup formula, & must only 1/2 cup, if it's used in a front loader to prevent oversudsing. I've only found one size box of Oxydol in powder. Since Proctor & Gamble sold off Oxydol & Biz bleach in 2000, CR Brands now makes Oxydol to include Biz built in, & if you're lucky to find it, they now make a liquid version sold in stores. Sometimes I find Fab powder in Walmart from Phoenix Brands. Then from Mexico, there's Ariel & Foca in powder, sold in plastic bags, rather than in cardboard boxes.
