The commercial machines in my building have dispensers for liquid detergent. I don't even know if powder would work in them, and if it did, how well. I go to Costco aND buy a big container of Arm and Hammer liquid. Gets the job done, and lasts around a year.
Do you feel that wet laundry soap brands are going out of style? I certainly do. It seems that the new trend among millennials in NYC's apartment kitchens and laundry rooms is to use dry laundry soap. I have been seeing 90% of laundry washers using powders recently.
Liquid Tide is almost never used. Growing up, my parents told me that Tide detergent was for the affluent. When Tide is used its labeled in a different language, and is a powder. Most people use Purex or Family Dollar brands in the powder.
Another trend is that many people use Chinese brands of laundry detergent even though they aren't from there. Maybe people believe imports are high quality. What are your thoughts about the laundry soap debate. Should Millennials continue to pay for the water inside wet laundry soap bottles, or go dry?
I love that you did this thread. LOL. Very different. I use liquid.
I guess I'm classified as a "millenial" although I think these generational definitons are plain stupid, since not everyone is the same.. I don't care what to use when washing, just whatever is available in front of me or what ever is the best bargain. As long as the liquid soap doesn't smell like cheap Fabuloso, I'm fine.
I use Tide pods for laundry and Cascade pods for dishwasher.
I try to avoid using the laundry room when others are going to be there so I don't often observe what anyone else is using. There is one older Asian woman who ends up using the laundry at the same hours I do, and she told me the pod was making my laundry too soapy and that it would be bad for my skin. I assume that was the case because the washer was only half full of laundry.
Anyway, I think of that conversation every time I do my laundry but I still use the pods.
Having owned multifamily , I can attest that liquid is the safest way to go.
Dry powder is the most costly thing you can pour down the drain. It will ruin your plumbing.

Speaking of Fabuloso, why is it so popular to add this stuff to one's laundry along with the powder? Isn't it a floor cleaner?

I don't use it, it is a floor cleaner. I've never seen anyone use it for laundry though? I just know some cheap soap smells like fabuloso
