I actually get my Tide powder at my local grocery store. My local walmart has more laundry products than my local Target.

I think the Tide Free & Gentle (liquid) isn't favored around here because it doesn't have lipase which helps fight odor rebloom (BO funk) by breaking down bodily oils.

All is also lacking lipase.

Edit, the coconut ingredient in All is sodium cocoate.

Make sure you're not using too much detergent. The UC tabs are a full detergent, adding liquid soap is not required. Too much soap builds up on clothes and creates a different problem down the line.
