Tide HE Ultra Oxi Powder Laundry Detergent Original 250 Ounce

I know everyone has their own opinions on laundry detergent but I insist on the Tide powder with oxi. I bought it for my Dad as he became older, more incontinent, and likely to make more spills. It did a great job cleaning up! Plus, when you add a small scoop and a couple tablespoons of vinegar you have a window cleaner that cuts through the dog smears. Finally, it smells good. Not overwhelming or floral.

For years I bought the most expensive brand of liquid laundry detergent but I never liked those big plastic jugs even though I always put them in the recycling bin. One day I saw that this Tide powdered detergent (that comes in a cardboard box) has OXI in it and I decided to try it. I was really pleased to find that this works every bit as well as the most expensive brands of liquid laundry detergent. I've been using it for nearly two years and I spray blood, grease, or wine stains with a special stain remover and add a "soak" to the wash cycle, but that's exactly what I always did with the liquid detergent that I previously used and the results are the same--stains gone every time. For especially smelly laundry (sweaty or musty) I just add the "soak" and odors are gone. Thhis is much less expensive to use than liquids so why not save the planet from more plastic jugs. Oh and don't even get me started on those obscenely expensive laundry detergent sheets and tablets!
