If you are getting loads of suds, you are using too much detergent.

We use laundry sheets are they work great. I do add Oxiclean if my kid's laundry has stains or is very dirty for some reason. But for regular wash, a normal sized load, one laundry sheet works great.

They are a bit more expensive, but I like that I'm not paying for water to be shipped and trucked all around the country. Liquid soap is so incredibly dumb, when you think about it.

For most people there are easier ways to remove 5 gallons of store-bought water from their annual consumption.

I follow some butch lesbian named Melissa on Instagram who teaches us about cleaning and fixing All The Things, and she says they don't work. Liquid detergent or pods are the way to go. She explains the reasoning behind everything she says.

I always use them when I travel and the clothes seem to be the same level of clean. I don't really care about bacteria that I can't smell or see on my clothes. I just care if they look clean and smell clean.

Suds have nothing to do with clean, absolutely nothing.

Anyway, he tested dirty laundry and found that the laundry washed in hot water with liquid detergent produced the least bacteria growth on the Petri dish.

Cold water + liquid detergent had some growth, cold water + laundry sheet had a moderate amount of growth, and hot water + laundry sheet had about the same amount of growth as cold + soap.

From dirtiest to cleanest it went:
1. straight dirty laundry swabbed
2. laundry washed in cold water + no soap
3. laundry washed in hot water + no soap
2. laundry washed in cold water + laundry sheet
3. laundry washed in cold water + pod
4. laundry washed in cold water + liquid detergent
5. laundry washed in hot water + laundry sheet
6. laundry washed in hot water + pod
7. laundry washed in hot water + liquid detergent

This is good info but washing your clothes in hot water= shrinking all your stuff.

Who cares? They’ll figure it out.
