Bulk Laundry Detergent Preferred for Work Clothes?

Yea this thread and yall's responses is bringing back memories of years ago. I am starting to remember back in the day when I worked in a body shop, that I thought Tide worked better for less volume than a cheap ***-hat detergent brand.

Right now I have some of the cheapest stuff on the planet. It was 13 dollars for a 35 pound bucket. Hell, it may be mostly filler salts or some other worthless crystalline substance. I have been using two scoops for cruddy clothes so it is not saving me like it should. Thanks folks :) . Soon it is Friday. Cant wait to start the weekend wrenching operations again.


It is, but it sure does WORK. We've tried everything under the sun for a long time and it works best for us. We have really hard water here too, so that may be a factor. We go through twice or more as much of the cheap stuff, so it ends up costing more goin cheap.
