Whats the best laundry detergent for my work clothes? I work in a restaurant.?

I worked in a resteraunt ... my clothes smelled so bad even after washing them , but then I started using with my regular detergent which I use gain , and sometimes I do use Purex as well , and anyways I add to my work clothes 1 cup of baking soda and 3/4 cup of borax and that did it .. they smell NORMAL again..

Don't use baking soda in the rinse. It will remain in your clothes. If you want to use baking soda, use it in the wash cycle with your detergent. You have a couple things to try. First, I'd try the white vinegar. 1/2 c. would work well for small loads but for a full load, I'd bump it up to 1 cup. That goes in the rinse cycle. Your clothes will not smell like vinegar after then are dried. Or get some washing soda. It's similar to baking soda in composition but made for laundry. It boosts the effectiveness of your detergent. But you need to be using warm water at the minimum to help dissolve the washing soda and to help get the grease smell out. Cold just makes the grease fumes more "solid" and harder to get out. Washing soda is cheap but don't look for it in Walmart; for some reason they don't carry it. Most grocery stores do in the laundry products aisle. I'd think about switching detergents; I find Purex pretty worthless. I've tried 'em all and keep going back to either Wisk or All. Tide make me itch. For grease stains, try using some Simple Green. It's a concentrated cleaner that works great on grease! Just give the spots a good spray and let lay for an hour or so before you wash; overnight won't hurt a thing either. Just don't do washing soda and vinegar both. You might end up with a foaming mess. Remember how baking soda and vinegar foams?

I swear by liquid Tide & Downy liquid softener.
