what laundry detergent do you use?

I am currently using Tide Free & Gentle pods. I miss scented clothes though, I love that fresh clothes smell. Now that my kids are getting older, and none seem to have sensitive skin, I am going to try scented detergent again. What is everyone's favorite, and do you use liquid/powder/pod?

I don't like scents. I use green shield unscented. They make a lavender version.

Gain original scent -- I like a hint of smell and this does the trick. Many others are too heavily perfumed and/or don't smell at all. It always takes my stains out and when I have heavily soiled loads (like DD's clothes), I throw in a scoop of powdered Biz as a stain booster. Works like a charm.

Thanks everyone! I have heard about Persil. I was wondering if it was as good as everyone says, because I have been thinking about trying it.

I use something like Persil, which is called Ariel (not available in the US). I liked Ariel more for some reason, but they are very similar.

They do sell Ariel here in the US -- I've seen it in Walmart, but only in powder form (not sure if it comes in a liquid?)

For those that use Persil, I've heard from more than one person who has used it that their clothes had almost like a vomit odor after being washed in it. I googled online and found that its actually very common -- the cleaning agents in it work so well that it pulls out trapped odors, dirt, etc. causing the foul odor. Has anyone experienced this?

Re: what laundry detergent do you use?

We use Better Life which is a natural brand. We use the unscented one, though they also make one with I believe a lavender scent. I’m the one in my house with the sensitive skin, so we stick to unscented.

ETA: It’s a liquid

Yes, this was my experience. My husband plays rugby and there was definitely a foul smell after washing his uniforms. The rest of the clothes came out fine, just his uniforms.

We currently use Arm & Hammer Plus Fresh Scent and Downy fabric softener.

Tide original with bleach alternative or tide with downy. Everything else makes my nose itchy.

I use Purex. I have sensitive skin, other detergents bother me, but Purex does not. Usually buy on sale at Shoprite.
