    This question is for those that do laundry......some may not so .LMAO

    What is best liquid laundry soap or powder soap? Powder soap sales are dying out and i am curious why........Is there really a big difference in what one uses??

    I use Tide or Gain.... the Ultra kind so you use less...
    I have always hated powder, it seems to stick to the clothes in spots...jmo

    I use gain,makes the cloths small like heaven,love it. Powder caused a problem in the drainage syst. gooking everything up,making drainage a problem,so alot of plumbers and even manufact. suggested its best not to use powder in the machines,so this being why liquid is becoming so popular.
    Its better anyway,you can pretreat easier,better measurment,and like she said no goop stuck to clothing.

    I use liquid, I have a high effiency so it recommends HE laundry soap and that's what I use( I don't know if they make HE powder) takes liquid for normal washing. Oh it does have a spot for prewash....that says powder.

    I use Gain too....I used the Apple Mango Tango until I got my HE now I use the regular scented HE Gain and the fabric softener.....LOVE IT!

    I have had issues also w/ powder not completely dissolving. I usually use the gain ultra b/c I get coupons a lot so it doesn't cost much. Plus its small and compact

    I would find clumps on clothes, but found if I put it in and filled to smallest load then let it agitate some to dissolve the powder some that helped alot.
    I use liquid I like it better.

    I use Liquid Tide. I had problems getting the powder to completely dissolve and it would leave white spots on the clothes.

    I love the smell of Gain. Whenver I have used Tide I was always itchy afterwards.
