Laundry.......do you sort? Favorite detergent? Fighting stains, what's your secret?

I use the cheap grocery store stuff. It works and I'm not paying an arm and a leg. Dh works out of town and he does his own laundry. He likes Gain or Tide pods. I hate the pods. They never dissolve completely for me and I go to put on a shirt only to find it glued together with the remnants of the pod. So he buys his detergent and I buy for the rest of us. He wants fancy he can pay for it lol. For stains the best thing I've found is Dawn. It has taken out any stain I've tried it on. For blood though I'd use peroxide.

I've had that happen with pods too!! That little plastic wrapper has to go somewhere! You have to wash in HOT water (not warm or cold) for it to completely dissolve!!

Stains are a badge of honor . when My shirt is stained it means either i was fixing something, wrecking something, made my head bleed again, or need to either eat neater or wear a bib.

You have some noble stains there. Mine are almost exclusively BBQ sauce.

like mentioned before, I'm an ..everyone in the pool.. kind of laundry person.. I don't own anything that can't go together.. If something does become un-wearable I go to the thrift store for a replacement.. I use plain Tide liquid on sale.. Never have used a pod as I heard they were evil from the first day they appeared..

Back when I had garage, tractor, farm chore clothes to wash I used ...Elvis... to wash them.. Elvis was an old front loading washer that sat on the back porch, and got hooked to a garden hose to do extra dirty stuff.. He got the name because you could feel him shimmy across the porch during spin cycle through the whole house...
