Laundry Detergent

[Mommy2TwoMickeys]

What kind of laundry detergent do you use in the villas? We have a 2 bedroom at VGF and would like to pick a couple extra up.

The machines are regular (non-HE) units.

I usually use the box they leave, plus bring along a bottle of Tide with Bleach alternative liquid.

We bring along the purex pods. That way I don't worry about them spilling in my luggage. Loved the purex sheets but they are no longer available.

I bring along TidePods for the laundry and Bounce dryer sheets.

I buy something (powder) at the dollar store and ziploc it up so if it breaks open in the luggage (it never has) it won't make a mess. I still have some Purex sheets and will use those until they are used up (those were great for this).

I bring the pods, but they can break. I had them in a bag thank goodness. If you take them you may want to put them in a small Tupperware.

I also use the pods but I put them in a disposable plastic container to prevent getting crushed

Agreed, I generally pack mine in a small knock-off Tupperware-type container. Earlier this year I toted some to South Africa stuffed into the toes of my hiking boots -- that worked just as well. They traveled just fine!

We keep Tide Pods and unscented Bounce sheets in our owner's locker.

I used the Purex sheets too, but can't find them anymore. I bought some arm and hammer pods - but they are powder not liquid. I am packing them in a ziplock along with dryer sheets too.

I've seen the 3 in 1 sheets at WM recently locally and they are available on amazon.

I didn't like the purex sheets. Our clothes just didn't smell clean when they came out of the wash. I like the pods. So far, no problems.

This is exactly what I do. Pods in a small Tupperware. This is a lifesaver at DvC and anywhere we travel. Also the crystal fabric softener is perfect for traveling too.

We bring the pods and also love the Shout Color Catcher sheets. I don't like to sort my laundry when I'm on vacation and the color catchers are great when you throw all the colors in together.

Does every DVC resort have the same machines? We were at BCV in a studio last week and when I did laundry, the machines seemed very new (dark grey ones, unfortunately I don't remember the brand) and I remember seeing that they are HE compatible.
