Used the new green clean detergent launched by sunlight which works in cold water and is also environment friendly.

Also there are coupons floating for about $1.50 and the bottle goes on sale for about 3-4$.

So i ended up buying one of teh sunlight detergent bottles and used it to wash clothes in my  not so fancy washing machine with cold water . After the wash my clothes were real clean .I am imprssed by the performance of this detergent and would recommend using it.
