I like Tide, Arm & Hammer, Purex, and Wisk. All scented . I love the clean scents, not the perfumey ones (and I guess that's very subjective). Downy or Snuggle fabric softener. If it has "no" smell, it's hard for me to know if it's clean because...let's just say you can't always tell if laundry is "comin' or goin'" around here. The sniff test RULES !
