What kind of laundry detergent do you use?

We've been using All Free and Clear for awhile, but I feel like it leaves our clothes kind of filmy/powdery...not sure how to describe it. What are you using and do you like it?

  • We were using Cheer Free & Gentle but just switched to Tide Free & Clear because I noticed we were ending up with a film on our clothing. So far, so good.

  • We have All Free & Clear for DD's stuff but I've been gradually working hers in our laundry.  I haven't noticed any skin irritation so when this bottle's gone I'm switching her to the Kirkland (Costco brand) I use for the rest of us.
  • Whatever free and clear is on sale.
  • I was using the Pruex Free & Clear, but I felt like our clothes were not clean.  The stains just were not coming out.  I started using the regular all and regular softner.  He hasn't had any problems.

  • I use any gentle detergent that is on sale that I have coupons for. I'm cheap like that. We are using ivory snow right now and I like it alright. Soon we will be using sunlight without pefrume or dyes. I have coupons for tide so I bet that is the next brand that we will use.

  • I bought the tide free and clear for when we first brought him home.  I read that you should use a similar kind for a month, then you can try and see if LO is ok with your normal detergent.  So, at about a month and a half I started throwing in some of his things with our detergent (gain) and he had no problems.  So when the tide free and clear was gone I stuck with the gain and have used it ever since with no problems.

  • We use Arm & Hammer for Sensitive Skin (the only one that DH can use.)  So far, so good!  (Except that time that I was using the one that also had OxyClean in it...she got rashy from that.)
