Canadian mamas - please recommend your detergent!

I'd love to hear what you use.  I'd like to be able to buy something from a regular store (Tide, etc) rather than have it shipped (Rock n Green, etc).

Thanks!

    I use Tide ultra original scent (powder).   So far, so good.   

    I used to use Nellie's and I bought that online from Costco, and I used use Rock 'n Green....but, tide seems to be working the best for us.

    Thanks! I've been reading online and everyone seems to say that Tide Ultra doesn't work as well as Original, but I haven't seen original anywhere.  Good to know that the Ultra is working for you.

    After some trial and error, I'm going to try the EFF recipe for a while - 2 parts borax, 2 parts washing soda, 1 part oxyclean. I can get all that at Superstore, and it's cheaper than Tide (let alone boutique brands).

    My neighbour uses Arm & Hammer Essentials on her cloth and says it works great.  I've yet to try it myself though - still working through my first pkg of Rock 'n Green.

    What's washing soda? Is that a dumb question?! LOL!

    It's just in the laundry area of the store. I'd never really noticed it until I went looking for it.

    I've tried RNG and Laundry Tarts. I WAY prefer Laundry Tarts.
    They come in lots of yummy flavors and I find it leaves my CDs super clean and bright !

    I use Tide Ultra.  From what I understood Tide Ultra is the new Tide Original.  Either way, we tried it a few weeks ago and so far we like it.  I had tried Rockin' Green and Allen's Naturally and Tide is my favourite of the three.  I like that I don't need to order it in as well (I live 2 hours away from any major cities).
    This, well, without the Allen's. I may try my Tiny Bubbles samples today though. Costco.ca carries it too if I like it.
