Which laundry detergent rinses out the best in cold water?

My laundromat only rinses in cold water, even if it washes in hot. I always wind up with detergent residue/smell, even if I use a liquid detergent.

Answers:
I don't overload my machine though have had the same problem in the past.I've tried them all though so far WISK (liquid) has worked the best for me with cold water rinses,which is all I use. I've also cut back to 1/2 of the recommended amount and use very little on towels.For some reason they tend to "hold" the residue more so than clothing.

I also run somethings through a pre-wash cycle if towels (especially) have that funny residue "feeling".That seems to cure it for quite a while.Also just run things through a full cycle without any type of detergent rids them of all the crud that's locked into the fibers and you'd be surprised how "bright" they look again.

If you use those fabric softner sheets, that could be a HUGE culprit.I quit using them because they left a residue that would build up even after going through multiple washings.

Tide with downy is great, you might be using too much detergent or might be putting too many clothes in at one time.

Tide HE has less suds and residue.
It does not seem to be the dertergent---your are overloading you machine or your rinse cycle may not be filling, or you have selected a wrong size ld for the capacity....Gain is great--if using powder detergents--start filling and add deterdent and swish it around with your hands, wait til filled and agitating b4 adding laundry
try using All free and clear liquid, it now comes in a smaller bottle.( no perfumes no dyes etc.)
Add it when the water is going in.
Also those laundromat washers ,like everyone else said, make sure your not putting too many clothes in they can be pretty small.
Only go half way full of clothes.
