People Need More Low Cost Laundry Detergent Options!

Eloise shared her opinion about the need for more low cost laundry detergent choices in the marketplace these days. Basically, she believes laundry detergent just costs too much these days!

Eloise says:

There should be a price set in place for laundry detergents... the price to clean clothes is so far out of control as Americans struggle to even pay the price to clean laundry.

These huge companies are making millions, yes millions, as we make less and less. It is detergent, simple detergent. Why the constant greed of hiking the price? There is no reason to have a simple basic need cost this much! ...Ahh, but the key word is "need; of course...

These companies could still make millions if they cut these prices back ..., and fill a need at the same time.

Taylor says:

Thanks Eloise for sharing your opinions and thoughts about the cost of laundry detergent in the current economic situation.

I agree, some detergents are beginning to cost A LOT of money! Just recently here on this website, we've been having a running dialogue about Gain powder detergent raising prices and formula changes, with lots of discussion about how expensive this detergent can be. However, this dialogue could easily be going on for lots of detergents, not just Gain.

So, what do you think? Do you think that laundry detergent costs too much these days?

In addition, have you found a good low cost laundry detergent that you like to use? I know many people are trying to figure out the best cheap laundry detergent out there, to keep their families clothes clean without breaking the bank.

Make your own!

I have a recipe I follow to make my own, laundry detergent, dish soap, fabric softener, window cleaner, baby wipes etc. It saves TONS of money and the end result is cleaner and better smelling than what I could buy in the stores!

You are right. Many people have started making their own laundry detergent because commercial brands are so expensive these days (and some people also do it for environmental reasons).

I have provided some homemade laundry detergent recipes here. In addition, I would love to hear other people's recipes for detergent! You can share your homemade laundry soap recipes here, or read others that have already been submitted.

All detergents clean the same, so buy the cheapest
by: Karen

Yes, it is very expensive! I buy the store brand most of the time. I don't see any difference whether you buy store brand or name brand. They all clean the same.

I Don't Like Homemade Detergent
by: Erin

I'm not a big fan of homemade. I haven't had a lot of success getting boy funk smells out. We buy 5 gallon buckets of Arm and Hammer for 18 bucks. Lasts our family of 7 for 2.5 months on average.

I Like Purex
by: Julia

I don't like homemade laundry detergent. I have found Purex brand to work well. Stock up when it's on sale.
