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?
If by "dry" you mean powder, then, like Blake Jones, I find the opposite.
And I have never seen a foreign brand in our laundry room. And I can't imagine that anyone would consider Chinese detergent to be superior. More likely the opposite.
I can only speak for my own laundry habits, as I don't have laundry at my place (2 family home in Astoria), and refuse to use a laundromat so I do my laundry at my mom's house every Sunday lol.
We use liquid - powder is too abrasive and we just don't like it. We never used Tide growing up, as it was too pricey for our budget of a family going through lots of loads of laundry. We can well afford it now, being a smaller family with more money, but out of habit, we tend to use either Purex or Arm & Hammer liquid.
I'm moving in the next few months, and already have a big bottle of Purex in my closet for the happy day that I have access to a laundry room again!
I don't use laundromats because they just gross me out, I don't like sitting there waiting, and they always smell like that cheap pink detergent. I'll definitely be one of those people you see cleaning down the communal machines before using them lol.

Even the TIDE with all their logos in English are assembled from foreign, usually Chinese, detergents because the U.S. has long ago exported raw chemicals manufacturing, as too destructive of the environment. I know because it happened soon after I got my Chem Engineering degree.
