I paid a lot of money and bought some fancy "quilt" detergent that was suppose to be very mild. I used it once. I have a whole container of it left. I use my Tide and it works just fine. I don't put much in the wash, just a couple of tablespoons. All my quilts have come out fine. I think the fancy one has turned into one big blob inside the bottle. It's just fabric, so I decided to go the easy way. I know the people that get my quilts will wash them with laundry soap anyway.
