Does brand name clothing detergent make a difference compared to generic brands? I go for the cheapest I can find like Costco's Kirkland "brand" in huge 5 gallon vats. :)

Most store brands are made by one of the name brand companies and the brands are generally pretty comparable.

I am from a big family and my mom tries to save as much as she can. We tried some off-brand in a 5 gallon bucket from Sam's Club (don't remember the brand) and it didn't do as well as Tide so we switched back.

I always buy Costco's detergent and have never had a problem with it.

Year-to-year clothing--in one year, out the next, I shop generic. That way, they're cheap and if they fall apart, no problem. For classic pieces, I usually go with a brand name I know from past usage carries great fabrics, strong lines and washes nicely.

the big difference is is the perfumes and amount of filler. You can tell how much filler is in a soap by the amount required for a wash - Even though a big-box looks cheaper by weight - if it calls for a cup of detergent, and another 1/4 cup... double check the math before you buy...

if it doesnt irritate your skin and gets your clothes clean...well, thats all that matters!

I don't think it matters. I love Costco's kirkland brand. I don't see anything wrong with it and it smells great!

Price doesn't matter but I have to say that I like my Tide powder detergent. The Kirkland powder does not dissolve well in the wash. However, I don't mind any of their other cleaning products.
