Are you a liquid or a powder person?
We're liquid people. Used to do powder, but liquid dissolves better. Switched from Tide to All a few years back.
I know, important, huh?

Powder. I grew up with it, and just prefer it. No particular reason, I just do.

Ok...TMI???

Washing Machine.....grew up with powder, but I now prefer liquid because it dissolves better. I use Tide Free.
Dishwasher.....Cascade, doesn't matter if it is liquid or powder. I do like those packets though.

I've been married to a lady for 25 years that is type A to the
max about
all things neat and clean..... A few years ago she read something or saw something on HGTV, Opra of Sports Center, OK, maybe not on Sports Center, but my new instructions is to go to Wal-Mart and buy what ever is the cheapest liquid on sale

I have to admidt, all the clothes look nice..... but we DO go through a bunch of Oxiclean every week

Amway SA8 powder doesn't have fillers, so there's never a
problem with dissolution. You only use 1/4 cup max per load.

Liquid.....we have really hard water and the powder never seems to dissolve well enough.....I am brand loyal to Tide....one of the few things I stay brand loyal too!

I never have that problem, cause I START all loads with hot water for about two inches, then switch to warm or cold, depending on the load.
Just the way I learned.
