Machine washing our clothes is a constant part of our lives. Often, we don’t stop to think about how a quality liquid laundry detergent can help us to get our clothing cleaner and brighter, let alone how to keep our favorite items looking great over time.

One Detergent for Many Needs

With so many liquid detergents on the market, it can be difficult to know which one to choose. Versatility is an important factor to consider. You shouldn’t need to have numerous bottles of laundry detergent cluttering your wash area. One detergent should be able to meet most of your laundry needs. Try to choose a liquid laundry detergent that is effective in cold, warm, and hot water Your detergent should also work equally well brightening your colors, and whitening your whites.

Keeping Your Costs and Time Under Control

No one wants to have to replace a bottle of liquid laundry detergent after every few loads. This is why a super concentrated product is a wise choice. Only a quarter cup is needed to wash an entire load and you may be able to wash as many as 86 loads of laundry before needing to buy another bottle. You’ll also want to choose a product that really deep cleans to remove spots and stains. A good liquid laundry detergent will have controlled sudsing, which keeps your suds under the water with your clothes where they can do the most work, instead of just floating up to the top.

Protecting Our Environment

In addition to superior cleaning, your liquid laundry detergent should be a product that does not harm our environment. Choosing a concentrated formula means less packaging to be disposed of. Always check the label to be sure your detergent is biodegradable. This means it will harmlessly break down and become part of the earth over time. In addition, be sure your detergent is free of dyes and phosphates that could contaminate our soil and water supply.

Extra Tips to Keep Colors Bright

We all enjoy the vibrant, bright colors of our new clothes. But, if we aren’t careful, those colors will fade and become dull over time. A good liquid laundry detergent will go a long way to protect your colors.

For even more brightness protection, sort your clothes carefully by color before washing. Dark and similar colors should be washed together. Use the coolest water temperature that will get your clothes clean. And, wash your clothes inside out. This will protect items from wear and tear, preserving the color. If you line-dry your clothes afterward, be sure to leave them inside out to keep them from fading in the sun.

When you machine wash, be sure the machine is not overloaded. Too many items in the machine will wear out your clothes. The extra care you give to your clothing will reward you with beautiful bright colors for years to come.
