I have never tried powder but I think it takes care of more loads than liquid so my question is do you like powder? or is liquid easier to use? Does the powder stick to your clothes? I would love to hear what others have to say about this.

In the winter the powder is sometimes hard to dissolve, because of the cold water. So I now use liquid!

I use liquid. Powder sticks to the clothes and the main reason is it also clogs up your washer and pipes.

Liquid here too. Powder is hard to get dissolved and it can make quite a mess of things.

I was a liquid fan until I started using Charlie's soap. I use the powder Charlie Soap. I have NEVER had a problem with it dissolving. Our water is hard and I use cold water. I only use 1 tablespoon per load. My 5 gallon bucket should last awhile!!

i have used both with no problem generally you can get liquid cheap on sale.

for those that have problems with powder sticking to your clothes you have to start the water then pour in the powder and let it run a few minutes in order for it to dissolve it does take more time.

I had always used powder until I went to college. The washers there did not use enough water to dissolve the powder so I switched to liquid. Now we have a front loader and either one does fine.
