I’ve gone back to using powder. Smells so much stronger than liquid or tablets and you get more for your money.

I tried Black&Gold laundry powder at one stage, and it had a slightly lemony scent, which I thought was nice… amazingly, it actually made the clothes FEEL clean, and in combination with Downy fabric softener (I like the red bottle), they smelled wonderful as well!
I love love love Gain! They also have the scent pebbles & dryer sheets and scented trash bags.
Tide Oxyclean gets down to the fibers

I buy from my sister on scentsy. the soap line is so amazing and it lasts for a whole month and the smell does not fad for weeks after washing plus it’s environmental safety and you can drink it should you want too!! I don’t advocate for that. But just pointing out it’s safe for the water system and our bodies.
Downs stoppable in lavender. Persil is the best detergent on the markets. It gets whites clean. Pricey but good

So, a few years ago, my husband got a serious chemical burn from Gain laundry soap. So, I just want to let all y’all know that most laundry detergents are really toxic. That is why rinsing them is so important. That being said. There are an increasing number of companies that are coming out with toxic free detergents.
If you haven’t heard of or tried MELAEUCA products, you should. They have al full array of cleaning products, health & wellness products, and hygiene & cosmetics also.
So, as for regular store products. I used to wash for an incontinent. I typically used Tide, but for some reason, they often didn’t have a fresh clean scent, as if they soured in the washer too long. I would have to wash 2/3 times to get them clean. Then I swapped to Gain, and I LOVED it for a while. I still had to wash them at least twice. One day I was given some
Persil. And
Holy smokes!!! The urine smell was GONE in 1 load. I used 1 Pod. I washed my husbands sometimes grimy mechanic work clothes.and 1 time and they looked and smelled clean. It is a little pricy, but considering I was using 1/4 of the soap compared,it definitely made up for the cost difference.
Now, if I can just get my daughter to use measure or just use a pod, I would be happy!

Tide with Oxi. I’m addicted to it!
I love Tide. It makes my whole house smell like clean laundry when everything is in the dryer each day. Our clothes smell fresh until we wear them again, and with five kids, it’s always been my go to for getting their clothes clean.
I use a cap of vinegar, laundry crystals and soap they always come out smelling so Good

Ok I love most of those but for something really special, I got tide free and I mix 1 cap full of tyler glamorous in diva it smells luxurious.
Use to love Tide. Then they removed the wonderful product that was in it. My husband was in a hospital for surgery and a nurse who came in when they were changing his clothes and remarked that even though he was taking the worn clothes off they smelled still very nice. I contacted Proctor & Gamble about this. Asked why the detergent doesn’t smell the same anymore and they never answered me. I think what they have done is they now sell it separately and you dump it in the washer before you put the items to wash in. Now it is a money maker for them. Don’t buy Tide anymore.
I just use original Tide. Or the cheaper yellow Tide bottles, (2 different scents.) I like all 3. I find the scent beads are too overpowering for me.

I use these little fabric softener cuddley pouches they’re cheap and my clothes always smell so good
I am very picky when I do laundry. Certain soaps belong with certain fabric softener. Tide and downy go together nicely. Arm and hammer regular with snuggle. Free and clear laundry soap with any softener and your clothes will smell of that softener. Bounce dryer sheets with febreeze amazing.

Arm and Hammer (lavender) and we also use those beads (can’t remember what they are called) And then we obvi use bounce sheets for the dryer.
I switched my family to Ecosense laundry detergent and use the matching dryer sheets from my online health and wellness company. The smell is fantastic and the clothes are cleaner and brighter than when I used the store brand.
How do get makeup stains out, is it possible? I also need laundry help😆I ruined some towels by accident.
I clean houses, so I get to smell different combinations when making beds. This is my favorite combo!!!

I’m currently full time living in a RV so space is an issue. I found these and am loving them. I’m usually sensitive to scents and this seemed over powering at first but it smells good and works amazingly with 2 dirt loving kids

If you have a Costco, I love the Kirkland brand laundry soap in the red container. By far, my favorite.
I use Gain with aroma boost with a small capful of Glamourous wash added to each load. Clorox when needed and scent beads if I’m feeling extra scenty
Always Tide Hygienic 10x heavy duty
And any scent beads I pick up that smell good. I like the Downy ones.

Because of allergies of my kids we can only use All free and clear
Tide fades clothing. We use gain with a splash of Tyler laundry for an extra scent booster
I use tide pods for detergent, and then a mixture I make as an additive. It’s zote flakes (1/2 box), purex 2 powder (whole box), scent boosters (I really love the downy light Shea butter), big container and half a box washing soda. I mix it all up and use half a cup per load.
Zum brand laundry soap is the best I’ve found !!! OMG it smells amazing and they have dryer balls that are scented and room sprays that all go with the soaps .
Don’t mix the scents! Same scent laundry detergent, same scent fabric softener, same scent fabric sheets!
Tide original with Downy fabric softener (I swap the smells) and Bounce dryer sheets.
I’ve been at my moms the last couple weeks and she buys Gain and downy. But I feel like mine smells better.
I also mop with laundry soap
Gain has always been my favorite detergent, but my husband is allergic, so we use Tide and then the scent booster beads. Adding dryer sheets to your drawers and closets helps keep everything smelling fresh.
Persil intense fresh scent, I like all the persil scents but that’s my favorite
My sister uses powder purex and blue or yellow suavitel and her clothes smell absolutely amazing 
Gain everything… gain detergent, gain scent beads, gain liquid fabric softener & then gain dryer sheets

Tide or persil, whichever is available at the store when I shop. If clothes need fabric softener I use the downy calm (lavender and vanilla) or downy calm dryer sheets

If you use scent beads, put them at the bottom of your wash and clothes on top. I recently made that change and noticed a huge difference.
I use downy light white lavendar and moonlight breeze gain pods, sometimes i use liquid fabric softener (moonlight breeze) if i’m not lazy… i get atleast 3-5 compliments weekly from strangers on how I smell lol

I use tide pods and Purex Naturals
I’m allergic to both Tide and Gain, the only thing I’ve been able to use is Arm and Hammer detergent and Downy, I also use the Downy beads.my clothes always smell clean and fresh
Persil and 3 caps unstoppable beads a load.
The laundry liquids are way better smelling than laundry powder. Surf ones are good and reasonably priced. But my fave laundry powder/liquid is Persil! Smells soooo good! And fabric softener helps clothes smell even nicer. And BTW that’s not weird. I loooooove smelling my clean clothes!!
Don’t know if you use Downy or not but we get the Honey Lavender scent. Unbelievable scent. You would love it.
Arm and hammer with odor blasters…
I prefer the pods because I waste the liquid by putting too much.
I use the pods so I don’t use too much liquid but there is that issue with them not dissolving all the way and sticking to clothes so I pop them while the water is running and throw the outer plastic part in the trash.
Detergent. I always have issues with the pods not fully dissolving
Attitude laundry detergent, free of artificial fragrances and doesn’t leave behind residue.
I like pods. It’s easier for my 7 year old to do her own laundry and not make a mess, plus 2 per load is sufficient
Pods for the kids, regular detergent for myself.
