What's your favorite laundry detergent and why?

Liquid

Capsules

Powder

[MrOracle]

Here's a little secret: the chemicals in all of those formats are exactly the same. Powder costs the least, and comes in the most environmentally-friendly packaging (a cardboard box). But you pay more for the liquid (the container and the water cost more to make and ship), and you pay a LOT more for the capsules. And do you know what is in the capsules? The exact same powder.

Of course, they spend a lot of money to get people to buy the more expensive options - but that's only to make more profits for the company. You don't get better results, and in fact, you often get worse results because you can't adjust the amount of detergent to the size of the load with the pods.

I use all three of those separate use the orange tide bottle liquid that's for colors powder I like using 4 white because it actually gets them white again LOL and then I always throw up what it is things in there just for the hell of it

[SamE86]

I just feel like liquid detergent gets "distributed" more evenly throughout the load than the powder or pods...

[HOAAH]

I use liquid. I haven't had any issues with it. I use all free and clear.

[Astarlessnightsky]

Something like this, not messy, least amount of plastic, easy to use, easy to store.

[MCheetah]

Liquid Persil - The expensive $25 stuff. It's expensive, but it works.

[NightOwl8801]

Tide with downy...
I've used that for over a decade, this detergent doesn't irritate my skin like other detergents do

[EnglishEuropean]

Like powder but it comes in tablets, about this big.

[Kvynhanma]

The powdered one has more uses and therefore you get your money’s worth

[ewok737]

I always wash in cold water and the dry detergent does not seem to completely dissolve.

Persil-Universal Powder

[Wiredone]

We've been using tide liquid for years

[exitseven]

It makes a good mixer with rum too.

[Wiredone]

@exitseven I prefer bleach with rum

[exitseven]

I use a liquid. Tide actually.

[Pterodon]

Capsules for me. Just more convenient

[Iron_Man]

Cheer but unfortunately it has been discontinued
