Okay recently I got curious about all the different laundry soaps since CVS has and Fry’s recently had laundry soap really cheap and sometimes I can’t justify being a loyal Tide girl. I mean seriously Tide is the most expensive and they only give out $.50 coupons, although I did recently find a $2 off Tide coupon in my Bounty sheets box but still. So anyways, I went to the message boards to ask for some opinions on Xtra laundry soap. There wasn’t a huge response and I guess because like me most never gave it a chance. Well I decided to buy and thought if it doesn’t work out that it could be used for something in due time.
Here is my review of Xtra:
- Price: A
I mean come on $1.50 w/no coupon isn’t a bad deal. - Scent: C
It smelled alright before hand but if you’re looking for long lasting scent it left a faint clean smell but nothing to brag about unless you prefer it that way. Even after working in a hot environment it still smelled slightly clean where as my Tide wouldn’t smell so fresh after working. - Clean: B
I have to say it cleaned those untreated deodorant marks completely, something Tide never did if untreated. I’m rather impressed.
Overall I would give Xtra a B- rating as I was impressed with it compared to my Tide. I do wish they had a better variety of scents, I purchased Spring Sunshine as it was the only one in store that appealed to my nose. So if you’re ever on a tight budget and want a cheap and efficient laundry soap I suggest you pick up a bottle Xtra the next time you see it on sale for when times are tight.

Thanks for the review Tracy…I have been wondering about the product since the price point is always great!!!
Thanks for the information. I bought 150 ounces the other day for $6.99. Just couldn’t pass up that deal. I used to use Tide, then switched to Kirkland. But, soap is soap….I hope.
Another one I use regularly is Purex. I got it last week at Walgreens for $0.99 a bottle after coupon. It’s on sale at Fry’s (Kroger) for $1.99 which after coupon($1/1 Purex Detergent or Laundry Sheets, exp. 5-7 (RP 03/13/11)) it’s only $0.99 for the 50 oz bottle. Less than 3 bucks for 150oz (50oz x 3).
