Stay away from Gain if you are sensitive to smells
I was told by the washing machine manufacturer to switch to a powder because it's better for the high energy machines. I chose Gain for no particular reason. When I got the box home and opened it the product has an overpowering chemical smell like bad cheap perfume. The smell almost immediately pervaded my basement and my whole house. I did a load of wash and the clothes felt as though they had a residue on them. When I put them through the dryer they still smelled of the Gain detergent, even after I folded them and put them away in the dresser, then the whole dresser smelled of gain. That night I put on a pair of pajamas from that load of wash and within a half an hour my eyes were sore and itchy and I had a headache from the smell on the pajamas. Stay away from Gain if chemical residue and synthetic frangrances bother you. I finally had to remove the box of detergent from my basement and throw it in the trash outside.
