For years I used powdered detergent. I have not looked lately, so
for all I know, something's changed, but liquid detergent seems to
have taken over the entire display in the stores. I got tired of buying
small boxes and made the switch. I buy those large containers of
All in the white variety, though right now I have the Kirkland brand.
They sit on the dryer and have a spigot. I use about the same size
scoop or smaller of the liquid that I did of the powdered.

Okay, I can understand that, but it's just not for me. Childhood
trauma of drinking that stuff has put me off it. Fact is, I don't use
much milk at all, really, so it's just not an issue.
