Consumer Reports: Rating Laundry Detergents

Purex liquid is still my fav.

Hey - I changed to Purex, too. It gets my clothes just as clean as Tide and it costs a whole lot less.

I still use the home-made Fels-Naptha laundry detergent. It makes a gel which I found is great for treating stains. Costs about 10 cents for a large load. I'll post it again (or URL) if anyone is interested.

Yep, I switched from All liquid when it made my son's skin break out. I've never had any skin problems from Purex, even for infant clothing.

Yes, please do. At that price I'd like to try it!

I think I've tried most every laundry detergent on the market before, and I always keep coming back to Tide. My personal preference is the Tide w/ Bleach Alternative liquid.

I have a water softener and only use a fraction of whatever detergent - because it would be impossible to get out all the soap. I've been using Purex and have had no problems - my clothes aren't very dirty though. I use white vinegar in the rinse aid cup.

I thought you said, "Purex liquid fills my Vista." I have a Dodge Colt, too, so I poured some Purex in the tank as a detergent additive. Now it won't run.

My sister says you know I suffer from Presumptive Dyslexia and posted that message to fool me. If you will please post an apology to the group for our misunderstanding, that will prove to her that you didn't mean it.

Oh Lloyd, you know I lub joo ;-)

Just curious. What were the criteria and how much was the difference in performance between brands? I'm just buy the cheapest box of no-name soap on the shelf. For a white load, I add about 1/2 cup of bleach. Everything seems to come out clean.
