Yeah. I like and trust powders way more than liquid detergents. A washing machine repair man told me that the liquids often gum up the works in washers, and cause way more break downs.

They say to use liquids for oily stains. You would think after sweating and washing with liquid detergent, a washer would be clean. My washer had a scum line in it and it smelled horrible. I always leave the lid open and I have a gas water heater in the laundry room. I went back to powders 3 weeks ago and the stench is gone. I read where powder detergent has more water softeners in it.
