Childrens Bargain Clothes

Which is the best detergent or method to get kids clothes clean?

My kids spend the days outside in the sandbox, swingset, etc., and their clothes are just ruined. I usually buy Arm & Hammer detergent, but it's not getting the job done. Do I need to buy the more expensive brand (Era or Tide or ???) to get better results?

1. you can use something somewhat cheap, like Xtra, but spray all the stains with Shout. it works great!
2. i always use liquid tide with bleach it wont harm your colored clothing either i have a 6 yr old and a 12 i understand fully
3. I recommend Tide any kind and then for stains use the stain stick, not the spray... the stick!!
4. What I do and understand it is tough but I get them out of their clothes once home and pretreat stains with Shout. Then when I wash clothes before putting them in dryer I check the item of clothing if stain is still in I DON"T put in the dryer it then never come out I just pretreat again and repeat cycle usually 2nd time around works
5. tide with bleach or just regular tide also try shout my sister uses it for stains and she loves that stuff personally i havent tried it yet since my baby is only 6 months and doesnt stain nothing
6. ive got 4 kids... i use tide with bleach... its all in one, safe for colored clothes too. its a little pricey, but so were the clothes when i bought them... its worth the price... ive used arm and hammer... the price is right, but it doesnt do the job, so its basically worthless... go for the bang and get the tide!
