I use Tide laundry detergent. It has a pleasant smell and that actually makes me feel good when I fold the clothes:)

I use All Free & Clear - Small & Mighty. I love the small bottle. My DH is allergic to the perfumes and stuff in most detergents. This is great for him and I like that there's nothing in it to irritate DS.

I use Tide. I know its more expensive but it really is worth paying a little more. the clothes come out nice and they smell nice too. stains come out also. so to me its worth it.

I use All Free and Clear. I usually buy this brand, and I buy it in the big containers from Sam's Club. If I can't find this brand I'll usually get Arm and Hammer, or some other brand. As long as its free of aromas and dyes, it really doesn't matter to me.

I like Tide. The plain tide not one with scents. I have asthma and am very sensitive to smells. I also have skin allergies and I find that tide doesn't break me out. I also think Tide does a good job getting my whites white and colors stay bright.

I like All or Gain..then use a fabric softener afterwards. It is much cheaper than the leading brand plus it does the same thing, make your clothes clean.

I use gain also because it is cheaper. I sometimes even buy no brand name detergent because its cheaper, and as long as my clothes are clean thats all that matters.

We use Xtra Mountain rain (or fresh or something like that) anyhow, it's economical, found easily at most major retailers like Target, Walmart and Kmart plus it does a good job. And I like the smell.

Ariel. Why? well my parents have always used it. it makes our clothes soft and smell nice and i even prefer it. Most others turn clothes into cardboard. I like the smell of daz but it does horrible things to your clothes or at least it has when my parents got it when they couldn't get ariel. Kudos! ~Joey

I use All Free & Clear. I get the BIG thing of it and it lasts awhile. When its on sale it is a great deal, usually cheaper than ultra or gain! Plus I'm allergic to a lot of purfumes and dyes so this doesn't irritate my skin. It'll also be great when the baby comes along because baby's skin is often irritated by purfumes and dyes.

I use Purex. I can usually get three 100 ounce bottles on sale for $10. It seems to work just as well as Tide. It also comes with color safe bleach, Renuzit fabric refresher, or fabric softener. This saves me additional money by not having to buy these extra products.

I used to use Purex and I really liked it. I only switched because I developed an allergy to it. :(

I enjoy tide, but in all honesty, I prefer sunlight. I find the scent is stronger. I found one sunlight I loved, but I can't remember the scent name. I only remember that the lid was green, and it smelt wonderful. I prefer to not use cheaper brands, as the scent is always weaker.

I use Tide. I started when I had my first child after using Gain for a few years and the clothes lasted longer with Tide. They always come clean. My husband comes home covered in oil and grease and Tide completely gets it out. The Gain can't even come close. It definitely pays for itself to me, in the fact that the clothes last so much longer and are always clean. My sister swears by Gain though.
