Are you consistent with your laundry soaps?

I love Gain. I use all their products when I do my laundry. I love how it smells, I love how my clothes feel. Most importantly, I am not allergic to it and I have no skin irritation to it. I was wondering what your laundry habbits were? Do you always buy the same stuff? Do you buy what is on sale? Do you change? Do you try out new scents? I use fabric softner and dryer sheets. Do you use both or just one? I also notice that I always put three dryer sheets in each load. What are your habbits?

Before,yes i was consistent in using Tide.But now i go for what's on sale,so it's ever changing (lol).I use 2 different bleaching liquid, that is whites and colored.And then finally the fabric softener,with this one i try different scent.

Yes well that works for you. Sometimes I wish I could use whatever, but I never know what is going to irritate my skin. Thanks for responding.

Yes. I am pretty consistent with my laundry detergents. I usually use Purex or Tide in my laundry. I always use the same fabric softener though. I have to have the best and I always use Gain. It makes my laundry soft and smell very fresh.

I love Gain as well. It is mt all time favorite. I like Tide and I can use that one too. It smells good.

I have always used Tide and I get good results with it. I have a HE washer and Tide works well with it. We have quit using any fabic softener at all due to lack of funds.

I mostly stick to Tide. It's one of the very few that doesn't make me break out. I've tried just about everything on the market and most all of them I'm allergic to. I always buy liquid b/c the powered can mess up a washer. ~~AT PEACE WITHIN~~ **STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS**[/b]

I always buy the same thing. I don't remember the brand, at the moment, but it's got no masking fragrances or dyes in it. It's not expensive, but it's the only thing that works for us. A lot of fragrances (even most of the 'unscented' detergents have a masking fragrance) upset my SOs breathing, and a lot of dyes irritate my skin. We don't use any fabric softeners or dryer except vinegar and vinegar, occasionally.

I currently use Ecover, an eco-friendly soap. I grabbed it because it was reasonably priced and eco-friendly; however, I will definitely buy it again. It is a good product.
