Caution: laundry overload.


If your home laundry isn’t quite as clean as you like, the most likely culprit is overloading.  Laundry detergent is formulated to lift dirt and keep it from re-depositing on the clothes.  However, if the machine is over filled, there’s just not enough water to prevent “redep” of soil and dyes.  Take bulky items, like comforters, to a jumbo Laundromat machine (or to us) to make sure they get clean. Don’t ever fill your home washing machine to over 75% capacity — it’s not built to handle it.
