Does it matter to you what brand laundry soap you use? Or do you just buy what's on sale? Or are you loyal to one brand? Why and what brand do you use? I'm loyal to this brand called "Ariel"... since not all people have the high tech washing machines here in the Philippines, some people still wash by hand. I have a low tech machine so we soak our clothes in Ariel first for a good thirty minutes and most of the dirt goes on to the water. My nursing uniform is all white and it keeps them looking new. Have you tried this brand? I've tried others and they are all worthless. I can even soak my Havaianas in water and Ariel a good 15 minutes and they come out looking like new.

I have to be very careful with what laundry soaps I buy. We are allergic to sulfates and some of the soaps have too much in them. We end up breaking out and having raw spots in spots we shouldn't. I'm also allergic to many of the scents used in laundry soap so that makes it even harder. Usually once we find a soap we don't switch. So right now we can use Gain or Surf. We usually go with Surf because it's cheaper.

I like Arm and Hammer laundry soap the best. Do buy what is on sale though. Tends to be Xtra, best amount for the money. Usually the best price too. Never heard of Ariel and what are Havaianas? Shoes?
No matter unless you have alot of money to spend, about any laundry soap will do the job.

I tend to use a cheaper brand. not the cheapest but just under the highest brand of laundry detergent. I use XTRA. I can kind of use a cheaper brand of liquid laundry detergent, but when it comes to the fabric softeners, I will only use the best. I haven't tried or heard of the Ariel brand. I love the fresh clean smell of clothes when you use a good fabric softener on them. Some people hang their clother out to dry but where welive, it makes my clothes stale.
