The most recommended powder (on this forum for whites) is Tide powder with bleach.

I can't get tide with bleach powder in Canada. My favorite is Miele Ultra White.

"Tide With Bleach" powder is the bomb.

Grab Green pods work well for me.

I get a rash from tide products so I would recommend Miele for whites, and you don't need to use a lot to get very good results and good rinsing.

Persil Universal powder, Persil Universal MegaPerls (German), Tide with Bleach powder or Grab Green powder pods (current version with oxi bleach and the bleach activator).

If you like and miss USA Persil Pearls, you can easily order online, Persil MegaPerls Universal (not color).

Agree here with Larsi. I used Persil Megaperls for whites and alternated wash days with Miele for whites. The Miele might be a tad cheaper at $29 a box, but i find Persil Megaperls for whites to be the same formula as Persil Pro Perls. You don't have to use a lot of either of these detergent so it goes a long way. For whites I used 1 box a year, but my whites needs may be smaller than most.

Thanks everyone, I think I will try the Tide with bleach. It has been a long time since I have used Tide.

One I forgot I had until comming across it in the deepest corner of the closet a few weeks ago. ..Mexican Pinol with Bleach powder...don't know if it has an activator but none the less its some good stuff. I ran out of Tide with Bleach and son dropped off a load of only white socks, I was impressed at how white they ended up. I used it on some white sheets and was well pleased. Min suds and second rinse was pretty clear. Sorry I don't know what alls in this stuff as I had dumped it from the bag into a metal tin.

I live in a small town with limited laundry detergents. When I look at pics of all your detergents I practicallly sworn. Nowhere here could I amass such a diverse selection. Never thought I would use laundry detergent to show our limited shopping. I even have trouble finding Cheer powder. Thanks everyone.

Even in larger towns there can be problems so I understand what you mean. I can't find any powders in my neighborhood supermarkets, and when I go to Target the powders are pushed against a wall away from the rest of the detergents and only non he powders are there. Some detergents can be found online too. I used to order detergent and fabric softeners from England. Don't do that anymore but it was fun just to try them.

If in the U.S., Walmart.com will ship most detergents and has a low ship minimum. We have hard water so I ship in Calgon water softener in because I can rarely find it in store and have shipped the Tide+Bleach powder too. I have been very impressed with their packaging and have had very few leaks compared to Amazon and Target. For whatever reason, the Tide+Bleach powder version works better and has less of a scent than the liquid to me.

I also splurge on Caldrea Pear Blossom Agave softener but do not use that on towels, only clothes. The scent is very mild but heavenly unlike a lot of what is sold in the big stores.

Andria if your comparing Tide with Bleach powder to Tide with Bleach Alternative liquid there's a good reason the powder works better as the liquid has no oxygen bleach as the powder does.
