My secret is buy LAs & a little cheap 1$ bottle of tide & mix them together & shake it up really well, then u get pretty much a huge bottle of tide for just 2$
WORKS VERY WELL
Thank you I’ll give a try I have both thank you!
If there's any Gain fans (the green bottles not the other Gain trash) then try the Green bottle of LA's Totally Awesome also. It smells literally identical to the Original Gain brand and cleans just as well as it does. I switched and pretty much my whole family moved to it also. I was shocked at how fresh the green bottle smells. Tallied it up the other day, if I buy 15 of the 1.36L (45.98 Oz) bottles of Gain per year i'm paying roughly $120 CAD at 8 bucks a bottle. Since switching to LATA's 64oz bottles (1.89L) at $2.50 CAD per bottle i'm only paying $37.50 for 15 bottles a year. Saving me just over 82 bucks.
I've found it works well too cleaning car upholstery and carpets, and leaves the car and carpets smelling fresh.
Love the LA awsome laundry detergent. Cheap yet very effective. You just can't go wrong when you only pay a dollar!
That's what I'm talking about!
I use l.a awsom all the time. I buy a years worth for about 40 bucks. It does the trick. I add a half cup bleach to whites and Clorox color safe bleach. I also use the wool wash. Its great as well. You just dont get the smell
Do you know if that fades out your clothes
@@kimberlywilson3104 No. I haven't noticed.
@@kimberlywilson3104 Nope. It's pretty mild detergent. So mild that sometimes they relabel it as a generic 'Woolite'.
I use both Tide and Dollar Tree detergent, but I treat stains on clothing before washing. Dollar Tree soap gets clothes clean, but there's not really a scent like Tide. You can add fabric softener, but scent doesn't bother me long as my stuff is clean
I'm like you , I prefer my clothes to come out of the wash spotless,, than concerned with scent..👍
Oxy Cleaners and the various Oxy generics are just powdered Hydrogen Peroxide. The active ingredients of color safe oxygen bleach is sodium percarbonate, which becomes hydrogen peroxide and sodium carbonate when added to water.
Bleach aka Clorox which uses sodium hypochlorite as its active ingredient and is in the class of chlorine bleach. It is derived from table salt, sodium chloride, and after manufacturing it is converted to sodium hypochlorite, there is no free chlorine in any bottle of liquid bleach.
So any brand of powder that says Oxygen base cleaner is just sodium percarbonate, whether its name brand or dollar store generic.
And any jug of liquid Bleach is just sodium hypochlorite it doesn't matter what brand it's the same chemical in the bottles.
You might think Clorox works better than store brand but you are imagining it because it's the same exact chemical and strength mixture.
I've tried both Clorox and generic brand bleach and they both work the same to me! I always say why pay more?
houptee you couldn't be more wrong about the bleach. The off-brand stuff often is a much lower concentration. Even name brand stuff is sold at different strengths these days. Pool shocker or something similar can be the best bang for your buck. Read the labels!
Chlorox is best
@@ItsMaarrrI find the store brand of chlorine bleach works just as well as Clorox bleach.
People only by expensive brand because of smell so if that's the case. What I do is I add on mine essential oils I buy. 3 bottles of Dollar Tree laundry wash And on each one I put different essential oils. one smell like lavender The other smell like orange. And the last one smell like cinnamon So depending on my mood. I pick 1 for the day. And I only spend $3.💜 That's the best part.
That’s a great idea! About many drops of essential oil per bottle of detergent? Assuming they are the same detergent in the video.
i do that
Should have put some grease spots on the fabric. The stuff you put on the towels were all pretty much water soluble.
La awesome works well when you use more than the directed amount however it will clean well and it will get out stains but however it will not give you that nice clean fresh smell that only tide will but for $1 you cannot beat it thank God for the Dollar Tree
99% of "Liquid Detergents" is based on 3 Ingredients - Other than that, it's mostly "Proprietary" Perfume/Fragrance + Color + Additives. So basically LA's Awesome Laundry Detergent have the same 3 Ingredients, like most brands.

I remember when La awesome products first came out you can only get them on infomercial commercials $19.99 plus shipping and handling but wait if you call now will throwing Wisconsin's Superior stain remover and such
lol They selling them on Amazon for like 10 bucks
Sista you need to let it sit for a day or two but also rub it in there
Right. Absolutely.
Chee huu

u got it dawg
I use $1 LA's liquid detergent regularly on everything. I also buy the $1 can of LA's powder oxygen cleaner. They have the regular blue can or orange versions. You throw a scoop of that in too with your laundry and you will get the same results as any expensive name brand detergents out there. The reason is the chemical in detergents that cleans is called surfactants and there are only a few types that all brands of detergents use in the mixture.
houptee I have tried the blue can of oxygen cleaner and I love it! Maybe I will do a video comparing it to Oxy Clean
I use the LA awesome laundry detergent in the orange bottle. To me, it basically has no smell and it is clear, no dyes in it. I've never been able to see a difference between laundry detergents, to me they all work the same. I totally do not understand people liking the smell of Tide, Gain, etc. To me, they smell overpowering, like gross perfume. As long as your clothes are clean, they will smell fine.
I like this video Marissa. Funny my wife is a Tide person. That is her favorite Laundry Detergent. Myself I have brought home Awesome Laundry detergent from the dollar store for quite a few years now. Like you I was too curious to see for myself what the difference was. I have no problem using it on my work clothes being I don't notice any difference other then the smell afterwards. The Tide makes your cloths smell fresher. The Awesome Brand to me cleans as well but doesn't have a strong perfume smell and for a dollar verses what Tide cost us I will continue using it on my dirty clothes when I do the wash. My wife refuses to use it and complains to me about me buying it. Marissa I give you a lot of credit for comparing them. Use the Tide where you feel you many want to use it and keep some of the Awesome Detergent on hand to use also. You can save yourself some good money there. I own a lot of vehicles. I use old towels to dry them. When they need to be washed I use Awesome Laundry detergent and Awesome Fabric Softener another good product I feel and they come out nice and clean and soft. To tell everyone the truth here. I can't tell the difference between the name brand fabric softener my wife uses or the Awesome Fabric Softener. They even smell similar.
The stains on the totally awesome rag had 30 more minutes to set..... just sayin
Please test other LA's Totally Awesome other products I'm so curious because they're plant-based, cheap, and cruelty-free! ty for this video! Great test.
Ash from SF Rugs I definitely will! I actually had no idea their products were plant based and cruelty free
Plant based and cruelty free I am sold!!!
There a freaking dollar give em a shot you could try the whole product line for like 8 bucks...... smfh
Ash from SF Rugs the orange bottle works the best. I use it on my animal blankets and it gets urine stains and odor out. For a buck you can't beat it
I've been using that same LA Totally Awesome brand for like 5 years because it's so cheap and works good! I have not noticed any drastic fading and I use a lot, probably way more than is recommended.
I tried all the fancy detergents at expensive health food stores but didn't notice any difference. Ecos made me super allergic and I never had that problem with LA, or Tide for that matter. I think I may get some Tide just to switch it up a bit, it does smell so good!
Soap is soap right? I always used Gain.. I seen the dollar laundry soap. It works even in my HE washer.. I can't tell the difference other than the smell. I like that Gain dragonfruit scent

Soap and detergent are different chemically. These products contain detergents, not soap.
I find gain just covers laundry up with smell and doesn’t really do a great job at cleaning.
You could just use like couple tbsp of tide it isn't watered down at all. I did it before clothes still came out clean and just perfect. Tide is expensive but in long run u could get alot more out of it then it says.
& to think I’ve been buying Persil for the last few years. Decided to go a little higher on the price scale because the larger the price tag the better the quality, right? Wrong! I’ll be switching next time I need to restock.
Ive used the totally awesome before... it seems to work fine. Ive never noticed a difference really between any detergent Ive used (believe me, i have use pretty much all of them), so i buy the cheap stuff. Usually cant get to Dollar Tree when shopping day comes, so i buy whatever the store has that's cheap. i walk past the Tide and Gain, instead I go down the aisle to the cheaper things like Xtra or Sun (sometimes Purex), all of which seem to work the same as Tide.
That's right. I buy whichever detergent and can't really tell the difference since my clothes aren't that dirty. Sun, Xtra and LA's do a fair job in my opinion. They're a great value.
Exactly! Although I get my clothes pretty dirty, and still don't notice a big difference. Except Totally Awesome, which I've found is terrible.
@@isaac24 You mean the smell, or it doesn't clean your clothes?
It doesn't clean. It's basically scented water.
If you research LA's Totally Awesome.....the ingredients are plant and citrus and natural alcohol ( fermented) based! Its the most affordable plant and flower based products out there! But LAs doesnt have the artificial chemicals. All of the products are flower based!!!
annnnnddd LA's Totally Awesome cruelty free, its like perfect!
I use both..... I buy tide and when it's half empty, I add the dollar tree brand to it to stretch it. Works just fine!!!
I've found that the 'rain fresh' detergent in the green bottle does leave the clothes smelling like chemicals but it can be covered up with dryer sheets or fabric softener. The clothes themselves turn out clean regardless of the chemical smell. It's best to use more than recommend because it will definitely help the cleanability of the clothes. Thanks for your review.
I use the LA awesome detergent in the orange bottle. My nose is pretty keen and to me it has basically no smell.
All the scents come from chemicals, most all of them poisonous too. I'd rather have little to no scent than breath all that in.
I haven't noticed fading with LA and I collect a loooooooot of music shirts.
I just bought the Dollar tree detergent to save money. It’s not a bad scent. I will probably buy it again.
The la totally awesome 2 in 1 with fabric softener works great and smells as good as the pricey brands...
I use the LA awesome in the orange bottle. I also use the Fabric Softener in the green bottle. It is just 2 of us and our clothes aren't real dirty, so I go as cheap as I can and it works.
The one in the orange bottle smells the best.
First of all you are absolutely correct when you say that the cheaper detergents will fade your clothes but what's worse is that they will also eat away at the fibers causing that fuzzing look. Also even though I suspect that those are the DT knock-offs of the ShamWow ( which I love and affectionately referred to them as sham woahs) shammies don't hold stains and odors the same as regular clothes. A better test would be to use t-shirt fabric or terry cloth. I use the Tandil brand from Aldi ( which is made by P&G and is almost identically formulated to tide). One of the best ways I have found getting really clean and stain free clothes is by adding two small scoops of OxiClean over or what I use which is the LA awesome Dollar Tree Oxi action in addition to my detergent. If at all possible you should allow the clothes to soak only for an hour Gregory creepy or overnight for best results. I was a single dad with a son who his name is was a giant dirt and Funk magnet. We also wear a lot of white socks and white t-shirts and even after years of staining and washing many are still bright white. I have found that there are very few stains excluding things like paint or ink that can't be eliminated by the overnight soak technique. Works great for sneakers as well
The LA totally awesome stuff is actually pretty decent... The thing I noticed between it and the Ajax detergent I bought from Dollar tree is, the LA totally awesome stuff makes my clothes a bit darker strangely enough, maybe it was making my clothes bleed into one another? BUT, it always leaves the clothes clean anyways. Good review!
By the way I have found that their non aerosol grill and oven cleaner is a great grease spot pretreater, I work on mowers and have spots not intened this helps, and generally a quick spray over the heavier stuff with either la's oxy or arm and harmmer oxy gets them presentable and no residue
Cool video idea!
We use All free and clear. It was cheaper than dreft and we get it at Sam’s club so it is a huge container and lasts us quite a while! Even for a family of 5. :)
What are you talking about? All is middle-of-the-road detergent. It’s not expensive or fancy. Lmao 😂
A gorgeous woman that does laundry!! Your guy is the luckiest man on Earth. Thanks for the info.
Is your fabric cotton, a synthetic blend, or a pure synthetic? The type of fabric will make a huge difference in this kind of test.
As well as how long a stain is left to set/dry. Hardly a surprise they both did as well as each other in this scenario.
Totally Awesome products used to be expensive made-for-tv products, so getting them for just $1 at Dollar Tree is a very good value.
I love LA products but I am not sure if they are cruelty free. I refuse to buy Tide, Gain etc because they test on animals. Marissa, can you find out?
I just LOVE your videos! I always tell you that. I watch even when it’s about laundry detergent! LOL! Pls do your updated skincare routine!!! And CONGRATS....you are def glowing!!!!
You forgot to run outside and stomp them in grass
Is this the angel of laundry detergent? Why am I watching this? Why is she so good looking? Where am I?!
I myself will use the Dollar Tree 1 its good enough for me
I bought LA totally awesome for the first time today because there was no more tide at my store lol. Doing my laundry as we speak with it. Had to look up how it works lol.

So how did you like it?
I really like the 7th generation detergent!! Great video and you’re looking gorgeous as usual!
Appreciate the video, but...Next time use a white towel. Don't mix the stains all together, leave them separate. Consider a smudge of axle grease or used motor oil or something as an additional stain. Maybe some coffee. Mash up some grass with water. Then let the stains dry out in the sun for a real test. With the fresh "stains" that you used plain water may have done just as good a job, so use just water as a control next time.
I'm going to get some LA stuff. Have to tried it with dry set in stains vs moist fresh stains?
I can’t use any kind of cheap detergent like that it makes me break out an itch I have such sensitive skin is terrible right now developed issues with cents so I had to switch to all but it definitely does not clean as well as tired so I think I’m gonna go back to the tide for sensitive skin but I’ve heard that pods still totally dissolve completely
i was buying that tide at Target its Pricey and i found that at dollar tree you can go on their web site and order your detergent and other stuff by the case and save. so i purchased a few cases of fab detergent Ajax and Final Touch and saved they only sale at $8 to $9 a case now that beats 1 tide at $12.00..

I like saving money but when it comes to laundry detergent it’s gotta be some sort of tide, always!
Very good video from a charismatic host that genuinely is trying to be helpful to the community.
You should try this on set in stains. You put stuff on the rags then immediately washed them. I live in the real world. I can’t always wash a garment as soon as something gets on it. It might possibly be a day maybe even 2 days before I get to it. To me this is not a fair test. Everyone may not agree with me but I am entitled to my opinion.

I tried the purple before didnt really like it but i stalked upnon the green and blue
Refill the Tide bottle with the Totally Awesome so you get the fancy, easier to pour, cap that Tide includes. Totally Awesome is great, especially, when your clothes don't really get dirty, but just need to be washed regularly. Saves a ton of money that can be used for a nice trip or electronic goody.....such as a large screen smart tv.
I had a friend who was you the xtra or other cheap brand, gave him bottle la's oxygen and he said so much cleaner
Of course Target's prices are going to be out of this world Walmart's bottle is cheaper and that's the tide bottle love LA's totally awesome
what about using onLy coLd water on tide and LA's detergents?...
Tomi Yazzie
That’s all I use is cold water to wash my clothes and everything using any detergent it helps save on my electric bill plus my clothes don’t fade so soon
When using Liquid Soaps, you MUST use Warm or Hot. Liquid Soaps works better with Warm or Hot Water!
You should have let the stains set. Of course everything is going to come clean with fresh food on it.
Have you ever tried Persil? I think you gonna love it cause it smells good, too.
I used Persil for a while I just find it to be so strong smelling I get a headache, but it cleans really well
@@jessie9653 Recently, I've red many scientific articles regarding household laundry hygiene and the corresponding factors like water temp, type of detergent, wash duration, etc. Based on my findings, using 1/2 of recommended dose of detergent plus elongating wash cycle most likely leads to really satisfying results in lower temperatures. This would boosted specially when using detergents containing active oxygen bleach!
Wow she is gourgous!!!!
Good job where is the grape juice.
use cotton shirts and grass and oil stains and maybe that'll be impressive.
Thank you so much for saving me the time of doing this.
I’ve tried the scented LA’s Awesome before & liked it! The color of the bottles are the different scents. I used the reddish bottle. Another great detergent for stains is Persil! It smells fresh & clean & it gets the grass & dirt stains out of my son’s white baseball pants! I use Persil Original with Downy’s Botanical Mist fabric softener. Downy’s Amber Blossom scent is a good fabric softener scent too with the Persil. Btw, what are your thoughts on the Ecos detergent? Does it clean well?
Home With Karri
After being a Tide user for several years I have recently become a Persil convert. When I visited the UK I was exposed to the brand when I inquired how my host family kept the laundry so bright and clean. Persil is new in the US but has been around since 1907. It is the best laundry detergent I have ever used but I will try LA's Totally Awesome Laundry Detergent because if it cleans as well as in this video that would save me a lot of money over Persil for light laundry cleaning.
@@cadmarbusinesssuite9155 Persil has overtook Tide in pure cleaning power and that I know is true! My dad is a experienced mechanic and his clothes can get really dirty. We tried the LA's detergent and Tide it does okay but when I tried Persil Original ProClean both my parent's clothes were completely clean. Ever since then, I am now a diehard for Persil!
@@ericspowers I so agree with you. I mean when I tried it I was amazed at first sight. I really appreciate your comment.
@@cadmarbusinesssuite9155 Kirkland Ultra Laundry detergent from Costco is their version of Persil. It works amazing.
Oil in ink are two things you want to try
Is la totally awesome laundry detergent plant-based
If you like the tide smell just add a few table spoons of tide the the Dollar tree 1 and youll get the smell of tide at a super cheap price !!!!
La totally awesome laundry detergent can u clean color clothing with la totally awesome laundry detergent oxgan power
I mixed it with tide and it works well thank you

I use the LA Totally awesome it works just fine. I like the one that is in the orange bottle :)
lisa pitts yes the orange is the best.
@@Conniebunny I have stopped using any of the LA Awesome Detergent on Clothes, it caused me to have a rash all over.
My question is how is La's totally awesome on sensitive skin because I break out in a rash and hives with anything but tied I haven't tried La's totally awesome yet
Works fine for me. La's is plant based so now crazy chemicals as other detergents.
I’ve been breaking out horribly with hives after using the LA’s green one
MY GOD you are stunningly beautiful !!!!!!!!
I was not expecting these results at all. So why the hell do they charge so much more for Tide? Is it just for the trademark smell? That’s it? Lol
Gain smells much better than tide imo
Dear Madam, Would you help me in determining the cleaning ability of different detergents by specific scientific test? If yes then plz mail me.
I don't like cheap laundry soap because it only works on minor stains like food but dose not work with stains like makeup or Grease. Have to use whole bottle for one load .
Loved this video! Great job girl! 👍🏽
LA awesome pretreat spray is the best I have ever used. Can’t go back to using more pricey brands
You should try grease and do oxiclean
just happened upon you v-log on tide soap currently using tide Sport liquid soap. best soap I"ve tried in quite some time. P.S i think your the cute-test young lady i've seen in quite some time. keep up the good test trials on soaps, Makes a kinda a boring subject fun to watch.
I feel people buy tide because they feel it cleans amazing but if you think about it GAIN is the best because it leaves a good smell on your clothes and it cleans good
Tide has been proven to have more cleaning power than Gain by places like Consumer Reports. I like it for that reason, and also like the smell of Tide MUCH better. Gain has too much perfume for me, and gives me migraines.
Can I use the LA awesome detergent on my HE machine? I've been using it...seems fine to me...but will it mess up my machine? I have the portable panda6320 washing machine.
I use it and it saves so much money . Ummm BTW Marissa Antoinett
is really pretty
Wait the la’s totally awesome should look blue not clear that’s motor oil
Nope, I've been using LA awesome detergent and the orange bottle for years. It's always clear
Awesome video.
Love dollar tree...
Do you have an HE washer?
I think the smell of original Gain laundry detergent , is way better than Tide.
Not!
@@kimilaadubois9416 lol is too.
Not sure of the outcome cause of the babe doing the experiment (she's beautiful)
yea good video but i mostly gotta say thanks for being so pretty
I. Do not like the blue la totally awesome laundry detergent because it turn my white clothing blue I like the orange bottle of la totally awesome laundry detergent because it's clear it is not color your white clothes so I won't use this
1dollar price is a plus points..
Marissa you sure is pretty xxx
Idk about any of you but I’m staying far away from Dollar Tree detergents, lmao! Simply because of the smells! I saw a review on one of the detergents and the reviewer raved about how wonderful it smelled.
So when I finally smelled it in the store. I got an overwhelming aroma of chemicals and stale hobo piss. The other scents either smelled exactly like that detergent or like nothing at all.
I’ve also read people having problems with these specific detergents leaving clothes dirtier than when they were put in the washer. That right there should indicate the quality of the products.
Also. Don’t trust a detergent that doesn’t come with a pour spout inside the bottle. That should be another clear indicator on the quality of that product.
Not gonna risk putting something on my clothes that smells like Ol’ Raggedy Jimbo couldn’t handle his whiskey.
Greg Myers oh, it comes with a scent. Don’t worry about that. But the scent it comes with resembles what would happen if you poured old cat piss inside some cheap floor cleaner.
So idk about you, but I’m not using one on my clothes if it smells like that.
nothing is gonna come out dirtier than when you put it in... especially with a decent washer lol. maybe those HE bullshit washers.
Hello! Thank you for the review! Please repeat the test with a white cotton shirt. I'm curious
Great video and music 🎵🕺🏻 I'm on team LA for now cause it smells like nothing. 🙏🏻
Cual es mejor alguien me ayuda?
Más o menos la misma.
Adds mustard to yellow cloth, doesn't realize till she rubs it in. Smfh
Lol
Great video! Could you try it again on a more wearable material like t-shirt?
You are Beautiful 😍
I think you bit the nail on the spot. It's the fading that's the problem and why people but Tide and not for the other reasons.
Tide is better
Tide is better dollar tree sells tide
4:08 i see what you did there 😉
