I prefer liquid. My whole family has sensitive skin, me more so then them. All of my clothing is done in the woolite regular and only the sheets and towels are done in their All free. I just have to make sure an extra rinse is put on them.

I started using the little "pod" liquid things. Theyre  AWESOME in a dorm, not messy, take up no room, not too heavy, HIGHLY RECCOMEND!

I think liquid dissolves better.  I make my own soap and it works great.

I use liquid.  Some things I wash in cold water and I don't think powder dissolves that good.

I use liquid laundry soap. I like the concentrated formulas if I remember to measure correctly the bottle lasts a long time. ;)

I like liquid because power doesn't always wash off and gets residue on my clothes.

I make my own laundry detergent.  It only costs a few cents a load.

I only use liquid, the powder always left streaks on the clothes, and they felt gritty

I have started looking around for Chemical-free laundry soap.

I like the liquid because of the cold water or I have to dissolve the powder to liquid  ;D.  When my kids where in school, I bought Tide with all the additives like baking soda, oxygen plus, extra stain remove. Now no kids here, I buy the 99 cent store brand, and it is just fine for my hubby and me.  I still like fabric softener.

I use liquid for the same aforementioned reason that powder doesn't dissolve all that well unless you are using warm/hot water.  I've used cheap laundry detergent in the past and have found it's not a cost savings for me as I have to use more than the suggested amount to get my clothes clean.  I do a lot of off outside work and my clothes get plenty dirty.  Tide and Cheer are my go to laundry detergents.
