If you don't like measuring out the detergent, or if you tend to make a small mess when you use liquid detergent, Tide Pods are pre-measured packets of detergent, stain remover, and color protector.
If you want to blow your mind try washing a load with no detergent. There's more than enough residue in your clothes and machine that they'll come out very clean.
(I have no financial interest in the following) Try Charlie's Soap or other detergent not based on crude oil. You can toss your fabric softener (you only need it because of the residue in petroleum-based detergent anyway). It will take 3 to 4 complete cycles of your clothes through the washer but they will start feeling new, they will stop fading, you no longer have to clean your washer and the front-load machine won't stink anymore. Costco's petroleum-free detergent should work about the same but it doesn't seem to be anywhere near as good.
