Big jugs are a hassle. They are heavy from store to home, messy, and mostly water. I use pods. Best new idea in laundry ever. If something fits in my washer it goes in the washer. I put my grands toys in the washer, fill it up, let the toys soak in mild bleach water, drain, take toys out and let air dry. Leggo and small toys go in mesh bags to be washed. I use my dishwasher to wash and clean more then dishes too. I"m not going to spend time cleaning something when I have a machine that will do it for me.
