Best Laundry Detergent For Uniforms

[x635 4,066]

OK, I know, stupid topic. As far as laundry detergent goes, I'm usually a Tide man. Standing in the aisle of Target, facing hundreds of choices for laundry detergent, I'm wondering if any of them can get my uniforms a little cleaner, a little brighter. Overwhelmed by each bottles claims to do something different, I settle on the same old orange Tide bottle. Now, my Tide does a good job, but am I missing something by always settling with Tide? Now, keep in mind, since I tend not to sit still, I come in clean at work and end up looking like Pig Pen from the Peanut cartoons by days end...dirt is quite attracted to me. So, what laundry detergent or method works best for washing your uniforms?

i usually just use Kirkland Tide or ALL...really, wahtever is on sale. Never had a problem with fading, however, i do suggest turning your duty pants and shirts inside out. My duty pants and shirt are Blauer, and they say to do that on the tag....havent noticed any fading after like 20 washes

Tide with bleach....I just think it works. Also 10,000 mule team borax is a detergant booster that works very well in removing tough stains and strong smoke odor.
