Another vote for Tide Free and Clear and another reiteration not to use more than 1/3 to 1/2 max of the recommended amount. I use the pods, making sure my loads are adequate, and I never double up on them-- even for really large loads. Re. the dryer-- anti-static/fabric softener sheets are the enemy to moving parts and moisture sensors, but especially moving parts. They leave a residue and gum things up over time.
Another Tide free and clear person.
I also occasionally use All Free and Clear, and I’ve used Method.
I was horrified when Wisk was discontinued – have been using it as long as I can remember due to sensitive skin. I can’t fathom why they took it off the market, especially since you say that Persil is not a similar product (I didn’t try the Persil on principle because I was annoyed with the company for discontinuing Wisk).
I recently switched to the Tide free and clear and have been fine so far.
I have also emailed Persil asking them to bring back Wisk if you want to do so as well. http://www.persilproclean.com/us/en/meta/footer/contact-us.html
My DH is very sensitive to detergents. The Tide free and clear still made him break out and itch. I have used Wisk for a while and did wonder why I could not find it. I also use Arm and Hammer free and clear. DH recently bought the 7th generation detergent because he read that is was good for sensitive skin. I am not sure anything cleans as good as Tide sadly.
I did buy a liquid to add that supposedly softens the water and makes your detergent more effective.
I use Kirkland free liquid or All free liquid. Works so much better than Tide free for me. I used to use Ultra free from Sears, a powder detergent which is hard to find now.
Also helps that I have potassium softened water and a great washer, a Kenmore Elite HE 3t going on 14 years now. Its twin was the Whirlpool Duet series. For a full load, I use about 2 tablespoons due to the softened watwr.
Kids used All free pods (Sams) starting in college and still using.
