TIDE

OK, is there any better laundry detergent that TIDE? I do 90% of the laundry at our house and nothing is even close to being as good at Tide. We have using cheaper stuff for a while now and since Walmart has Tide on sale for $5 I picked up a bottle and remember how great the stuff is.

We can't use Tide, but Arm & Hammer is a darn good product. Love the stuff!

Tide and A&H are all I have ever used. Both work great.

You can get the 'ole' washboard out and use lye soap.

lye soap is murder to my hands but I have used a washboard before when I was down in florida right after hurricane francis and we didnt have electricity for two weeks.

clothes were cleaner i bet,, ha,,

yeah they were. I have a wash board here too but its so small I dont usually use it, If I could find a big one I would probably use it more than I would the washing machine.

I have one for sell.

It's the real thing too. Brass with good graphics for a 50+ year old item. National brand.

I own an original glass one, they used glass instead of metal during WWII to save on metal usage. Great display piece which is how we are using it.

I like the glass ones a lot better than I do the metal ones.

At college I never used tide. Was too expensive.

The glass ones were surprisingly durable. I've seen some that had obviously seen alot of heavy use over many years, even decades and the glass was still intact. The one I own looks like it was hardly ever used. I picked it up at a yard sale in Castlewood last year. Paid $20 which is almost as much as it's worth but I wasn't sure I'd ever find another real one (not a reproduction) that was in that good of condition.

Member's Mark from Sam's. Cheap, plenty of it, and it does a good enough job.

One thing I have never attempted to quantify is the performance of laundry detergent.
