I would be interested in your views on surf detergent because I often went with it so that if I washed at a lower temperature, it would stick to the clothes and after drying it would be like chewing gum stuck in the clothes.
I've used it many times, but I've never been with it the way you have. I am also very pleased with the cleansing power and gives the clothes a long lasting scent. I really like. :)
