Do you use powdered soap or bar soap?

When i am doing hand washing i always using bar soap, sometimes i used powder soap for soaking clothes and also for washing machine. Happy posting.

Hi Modstar, I hope I've got it right. I use laundry powder to handwash undies and silk clothes. Other type of clothes or towels and so forth, I will place into the washing machine, and I use liquid detergent for that.

I prefer to use laundry powder either having hand wash or machine wash. I would like to soak the laundry which is not suitable for machine wash in the water with washing powder added to it for at least half an hour. I then would do the hand washing after pouring more water onto the pail so the water with detergent in it would become thinner and it won’t make my hands rough. I dislike putting on rubber gloves. I would like to use soap bar before brushing the collar and sleeves part of the shirts of my kid before dump them into the washing machine. Happy posting and have a nice day.

I use powdered soap for washing machine. For hand wash I use both. I use powdered soap first and soak the clothes in for few minutes. When I start to wash then thats the time i use bar soap for specific areas like the collar and armpits. I really want my clothes to smell really good.

When I 1st saw this, I was thinking to myself - powdered soap? How the heck is my body gonna take that?! HahahaThen when I kept on reading then, oh, laundry, hahaWe use both powdered & also liquid detergent. Normally the powdered one is for rags, mats & all that stuff whereas detergent is for the clothes!~

we used both... powdered and the bar... name the brand? LOOOOOOL *winks

i use both. when i wash clothes i use powdered soap for i use also the washing machine. but if i need to wash the rags i hand wash it so i use bar soap. i want to soap every side of the rag so i use the bar soap. if i wash hand towels too i use bar soap. so for me i use powdered soap if i use the washing machine and use bar soap if i handwash something

we always using powder in our laundry,even when we are in philippines

I use both. When there is a power cut we use bar soap otherwise powder soap is the best for the machines. I use Arial washing powder.

I am the one washing all the laundries at home. What I am using always is the powder laundry soap for fast and speedy washing. I only use bar for white clothes and soaking it..nice topic for like us laundry men..

i use detergent powder for our laundry. i soak the clothes in ariel overnight for whites and an hour for colored clothes. the stains come off easily when they are soaked. and it's less effort for me. makes my work easier.

well since i am using washing machine i often use powder soap, its a lot easier if you wash clothes by washing machine, as bar just good for hand wash. happy mylotting

When soaking clothes it is better to use a powdered soap and it is used only on washing machine. If you don't , then you will have no other choice but to use a bar soap. For me it is just the same. Using a soap cleanses too when you scrub it clothes with a bar of soap and a scrubber. What i don't like to soak is the colored clothes because they tend to loose color and spread like a fire with other clothes. So when i wash, i see to it that i separate white clothes from colored clothes. Sometime when we try to save electricity, we use hand wash. When soaking i always use Ariel powdered soap. And if we use a bar soap , it is Tide.

I use powder because it dissolves easily when I spin the machine.Wth the bar I still have to chop it to pieces,LOL!

I use powdered soap coz I always use the washing machine. Hand washing is too much for me.

We use bar soap for washing out hands. When we're doing laundry, we use liquid soap. I don't know that I've ever used powder soap. The only kind of powder we've used was the oxyclean bleach.

I use the liquid detergent. The powder leaves specks in the laundry with my water and bar soap....neh doesnt seem to work as well for clothing.

I use powdered washing powder. It seems like I get more for my money when I buy the powdered kind. I would prefer the liquid but right now I am struggling and trying to save every dime I can. Since I lost my job I have to do without the things I want and just go for the things I need.

hello modstar when that i am doing the laundry for myself and my family members, i use liquid soap. lol my favorite kind of laundry detergent that i like to use is the Tide with a touch of Downy in it. it makes the clothes smelling so fresh and good when that they come out of the dryer. and also i do not have to worry about purchasing the fabric softener or dryer sheets since that i have been buying the Tide with the Downy in it like that. they have all different kinds of scents in the Tide line of laundry detergent, like the Tide with Febreeze added to it. but before that i started purchasing the liquid Tide all that i used detergent wise was the powdered laundry detergent, and i think that the name of it was Pyrex that i used to use all of the time. take care and have a beautiful evening.

Handwashing the clothes would be easier if both are used. Especially for white-colored ones. Plain soaking them in soapy water won't be enough. You have to "kusot" them individually and using bar soap too.
