Does Anyone Here Use Those Laundry Detergent Pods or Packets?

Over the years, my wife has tried several different detergents...both liquid and powder. A couple of years ago, she tried a "bargain" brand called "XTRA"...available at Walmart, and it seemed to do a real good job. Now, that is all she buys, and it is half the price of most other brands. We are on a well, with hard water, and have a water softener for the house, and a septic system for the waste water. This brand seems to work well with our situation.

I have only used liquid Tide for years in the washing machine, as we also had a septic system at our home.
I have just recently started to use the pods in the dishwasher and I like them.
 
O.K. folks. A question. Does the top loaders do a better job of washing clothes than the front end loaders.?

I use a softener in my wash as recommended and my clothes feel 'waxy' like they haven't been rinsed enough and that's in our new front end loaders.
 

I use Tide Liquid in washer and if something is a little dirtier (cleaning rags, scatter rugs) I toss in a little Oxiclean powder. I do use pods in the dishwasher. Powder for either makes me sneeze.

You don't need ''softeners". They do leave waxy or oily residue. Especially for towels if you want them to dry well.
 
I love the pods for the dishwasher, but I'm happy with Tide liquid and being able to control the amount for different load sizes. And, they are expensive!
