laundry detergents

I know I'm supposed to go out and buy specail detergent just for the baby but I only get the free and Clear stuff anyways so can any one tell me why I should use the "special" stuff and not the stuff I use for myself?  Is it really going to make  difference or is it just so they can make us buy different detergents?

I've never bought different detergent and I'm on baby 3 the regular detergent didn't bother my other two and if you buy the free and clear stuff anyway you should be fine.

U don't need to use special soap for Ur laundry. I've never used anything but regular laundry soap. The only recommendations I have is to have some baby oxy clean for diaper leaks and so on. It helps with poop stains. Lol.
