Laundry Detergent

What kind do you use?


I use Tide, but it makes the color fade from my clothes, so they start looking dull after just a few wash. Im thinking of switching, but I dont know to what.

Please help.

 

I use Tide too.......everything else gives me itchy balls

 

I use my mom.

 

I use Ecover. I use their cleaning products as well, they're awesome.

 

I'm not sure I've seen them at the store, but I'll look for it next time I go to the store.

Does it clean well without fading the color of your clothes?

 

do you wash your jeans inside out and in cold water? if you do and they still fade, try using less detergent until the tide's all gone, then switch to a color preserving detergent, like woolite, for your jeans. i use tide, but i don't have a problem with fading for a VERY long time.

 

My jeans are ok and if they fade I wouldnt mind.

It's my bright colored clothes, mostly t-shirts and dresses that seem to fade a lot, even after the first wash. The laundry room has the wash setting to colors, whites, knits and delicates, wools and I dont remember the rest. Im assuming colors is cold water. Maybe Im putting too much detergent?

 

I use Arm and Hammer but I'm probably going to switch to Seventh Generation in the future.

 

I use all temperature "Cheer"...I like tide to..

 

Those I've seen in the store and thought about getting, but Im waiting until Im done with the detergent we have now.

I dont know, probably it's not the detergent, but my laundry skills. I was just one day complaining about my clothes fading to John's cousin's girlfriend and she asked me what detergent I used and she said she had the same problem with Tide, but I forgot which one she told me she uses now.

 

I use water.. 99% of detergents give me rashes and itchy bollocks, I've yet to find one that doesn't.

 

when i'm in the U.S and i buy my detergent not my mom i use All Mighty

 

I've never seen that one either!

Laundry is really not my area of expertise. Not really sure what my area of expertise is

 

So you just put things in the washing machine with no detergent at all?

 

Well, All Mightly is just All but you only have to use half the regular amount cause it's ultra-concentrated

 

ohh, yeah the tide we have now is like 2x stronger, I use less than before, but still the same thing happens. I dont know.

 

Yup. Works OK, I've never got 'ewww you smelly hippie' unless I like, forget to shower :willy_nilly:

 

And you just wash your clothes once or twice?

Im so intrigued

 

Once.. it's fine, honestly, don't believe the corporate proaganda used by detergent lobby groups

 

Umm either surf, wisk, or all. Unilever gave my dad truck load after truck load when they shut the plant he worked at down. I think in a few months we'll actually have to buy laundry detergent again.
