Not on the list but I use liquid "Dynamo"

Cheap, works well and smells good!

Available at WalMart for sure.

Liquid Tide, years and years ago, swept a Consumer Reports test. Seems that everyone uses it these days, myself included.

My mom didn't teach me that. She always bought what ever is cheapest. I swear that my clothes look better longer.

powder Tide is the most caustic soap out there.

do this test. put a tablespoon of tide in your hand then add a little bit of water. close your hand and you will feel your hand heat up.


We use a mail order soap, 100% bio-degradable, 100% non caustic, and only cost 1 cent a load to do a load of laundry.

<< I use Cheer, not for any reason other than that it works, and it's what I know works. I think they're all the same, really (like antifreeze, they're probably all made in one or two factories, then re-branded). My only thing is that I use the "free" version, with no dyes or perfumes. >>



What happened to the CHEER commecials with that one guy? Did he kick the bucket like Dave Thomas?

Another somewhat laundry related question: Did Maytag replace their lonely old repairman in the commercials recently?

Could it be because its been around a long time so mommy just followed grandma and they just followed their mommy's choice?(no I don't know anything about how long Tide has been around)

My laundry habit:

1. wait until I have washer full of dirty clothes

2. jam 'em into the washer

3. fill it with water to full and pour a capful of detergent

4. start it

5. shove everything into dryer

6. throw everything into laundry basket and use it from there. Why bother folding 'em?

now guys. I know alot of you are guilty of #6. Its a guy thing.
