Tide Free liquid and half a Bounce Free dryer sheet.
When it was time to replace the washer, we got a front loader, high efficency one, with extra rinse and super spin; it was great for getting out the soap, but also the softener we used to use, so we had to go to the dryer sheets.
Before we got the new wahser my kids were getting some excema from the laundry, and I got it on my shins something awful, so I had to experiment with the Tide Free to get the right amount in the HE washer.
