Has anyone tried any of the laundry detergents that have fabric softener already added?
They did a report on Consumer Reports on this and many other detergents. Their take on detergents that included a softener were similar to hair shampoos that had conditioner in them. Neither cleaned well enough on its own, and the addition of the softener or conditioner seemed to make it worse. They recommended not using them if you want truly clean clothes or hair. Good luck!
