Detergent from a B&M store?

For those of you that buy your detergent at a B&M store, what detergent do you use and where do you buy it?

I used to use the homemade CD EFF detergent.  But then I read that oxiclean shouldn't be used on CD's.  Then I tried R&G.  But would prefer to have something that I could run by the store to buy.

I want to try Planet, but no store sells it locally - I'd have to order it from Amazon or drugstore.com.

I've considered Tide original powder, but pinstripesandpolkadots.com says it's bad for diapers.

I use tide original powder with a tiny bit of oxyclean. My diapers are still in perfect shape and no smells!

Huh - so Tide works well for most then.

Do you do extra rinses when using it?

No, I just do the usual extra rinse at the end of the wash cycle.

I use All Free and Clear...no issues with it.

I used to use Tide and loved the convenience of it but discovered that was the cause of my LO's rashes... unfortunately my LO is one of the ones with a sensitivity to it.  (I even tried using 1/4 of the recommended amount and doing 2 rinses at the end of the wash)

BUT, that being said, it'd be worth a try, because it'd save you money and is more convenient!

I use Arm & Hammer Sensitive.  Not the most highly recommended (it has optical brighteners), but it works for us - no problems so far.  We have hard water, if that matters to you.
