Cutting down the cost of washing machine powder - Page 3

 

Question for the group....

I've always used liquid detergents but find it messy at
times

Are powders just as good and maybe cheaper?

Also, I use detergents with NO scents, smells, etc!!

Does there exist a powder like that for top loader (or
FL) use?

Yeah, they certainly can be.


Not in some situations. I wash in cold water and wear dark blue
T shirts all year round and find that you get a sort of scum with
powders which appears to be due to the soap not dissolving entirely.

You can wipe it away when hanging it on the line, but there can be
too much to bother with and so I use the clear liquid detergents that
dont have that problem.


Dunno, havent compared on prices, essentially because I use
so little that its not a major consideration. I have very large
numbers of the commonly worn stuff like T shirts so I can
do a full load and so the cost isnt a significant consideration.


Yeah, me too. Same with the shower, I use Pears Transparent,
because its one of the few with no smell at all. I use it for the hair too.


Dunno. The liquid detergent I use is has no scents or smells.

Wrong, as always. I get no suds forming at all and get the same result with a
tenth of the amount too. The problem is that it doesnt fully dissolve in cold
water.

Works fine in hot water.
