We all do laundry, but are we doing it right? Over time, certain myths and habits can lead to overuse of detergent, wear and tear on your clothes, or even a higher electricity bill. Let's debunk five of the most common myths so you can do better laundry.
1. More detergent = Cleaner clothes
The truth: Using too much detergent can actually make clothes dirtier. Excess soap leaves residue that traps dirt and odors instead of removing them. Stick to the recommended amount using our pre-measured detergent sheets for hassle-free cleaning.
2. Hot water is always better
The truth: While hot water can be helpful for heavily soiled garments, our detergent sheets are designed to work with cold water as well. This helps save energy, prevents shrinkage, and prolongs their lifespan.
3. Fabric softener is essential
The truth: Many fabric softeners leave a chemical film on fabrics, reducing their absorbency, especially on towels. Instead, try wool dryer balls or adding a little white vinegar to the rinse cycle.
4. The more you wash clothes, the better
The truth: Washing clothes too often fades colors, weakens fibers, and wastes more water. Items like jeans, sweaters, and jackets don't need to be washed after every use; instead, let them air dry.
5. The washing machine is always clean
The truth: Buildup of detergent, hard water, and humidity can make your washing machine dirtier than you think. To keep it fresh, run a hot water cycle with vinegar and baking soda once a month.
Washing the right way helps save money, protect your clothes, and reduce waste. Ready to make your routine easier? Try our laundry sheets here. No hassle, no measuring, no waste, just clean.
