I admit it, I’m a laundry detergent snob. For the past decade I’ve been using 2 name brand laundry detergents because I like how well they clean and how nice our clothing smells after laundering them. The one thing that I didn’t like was the price.
Last month a friend of mine was telling me how she buys her laundry detergent from Dollar Tree and only pays $1.00 per bottle. Say what? Only a dollar? Yes indeed! She told me that this liquid laundry detergent works just as well as many of the name brand competitors out in the retail marketplace. She told me her family’s clothing comes out clean and smelling fresh with each load.
My friend challenged me to try the LA’s Totally Awesome 2-in-1 Laundry Detergent plus Fabric Softener from Dollar Tree. There are other varieties available like unscented, scented and with or without fabric softener. Each bottle will clean 32 loads of laundry.
I decided to take her up on that challenge and for the past 12 days I’ve been using that laundry detergent and admit…I love it!!! Does it smell as nice as brand G that I’ve used for years. I admit, no. But it does smell fresh and clean. Does it clean as well as brand T? Well, I believe it does!
What is really cool is that I haven’t had to add extra fabric softener or use dryer sheets at all. Our clothes are clean, smell nice and there has been no static cling at all. It has done a great job at cleaning my hubby’s work clothes, our regular household laundry and so forth. Absolutely no complaints from me. None!
I wish I had tried their laundry detergent a lot sooner. I typically pay $4.89 to $7.98 per bottle at the grocery store depending on which of the 2 name brands I buy and if they’re on sale or I have a coupon. Boy…was I wasting money over the years! Sigh.
For those of you who are looking to save money…I recommend that you give the LA’s Totally Awesome Laundry Detergent from Dollar Tree a try. Is it the best out in the retail marketplace? Of course not…but it’s right up there with the good ones!

I don’t use fabric softener but this sounds great. I’ve found that many of the less expensive brands are just as good, if not better than the name brand. A lot of the time, you’re just paying for the name.
I will have to check this out, I buy a lot of stuff at dollar tree. And have to say you do get a good deal there
I have thought about buying this when I have seen it at the Dollar Store but never have because I was unsure if it would work well. Now that I know it does I am going to try it. I will probably try the unscented first.
I always walked by it too. I’m glad Ren told me about her experience with it which encouraged me to buy a bottle and give it a try. I go through an entire bottle of liquid laundry detergent a week at about $6.00 a bottle (name brand). So, I can now pay $1.00 a bottle, get similar good results and pay $4.00 a month for liquid laundry detergent instead of $24.00 a month. That’s a big savings that really adds up over the course of the year. Right now I’m testing out their big bottles of liquid dish soap and comparing that to two name brand ones that I typically use. I’ll blog those results in 2-3 weeks.
That would be very good to try. I don’t have really dirty clothes and I would love to spend so much less.
I am so going to give this laundry detergent a try. Money is tight right now and I beyond sick and tired of paying a small fortune for laundry detergent at the store. I was recently buying detergent off Amazon and I really fell in love with a certain one then I looked the other day and they DOUBLED the price of it – I am done with that one too. Thanks for sharing I will add this to my shopping list.
I have 7 bottles of this laundry detergent sitting in my laundry room. After trying the first one I went back and bought 8 more. For a dollar you just can’t beat it. They have different varieties so make sure you look them over. I like a little fragrance to mine and fabric softener so this is the one I chose. My mom has started using it now too but she uses the one without the added fabric softener in it.
