Maybe it's because I buy my clothes at thrift stores and wear
mostly cotton stuff that doesn't need pressing, but I mix my colors
when I wash them, and I don't use soap at all, just a small box of
baking soda, then during the rinse cycle a small jar of vinegar. I'm
not recommending for others as I'd hate to be wrong about it, but I
really feel it does a good job because there is soap in the lines of
the washing machine at all times and you're going to get some of it
always, and most people use too much soap anyway. I've been doing
this for several years and nobody in the cab has told me my clothes
stink, although maybe my passengers are just trying to be nice.
Really though, I think the baking soda and vinegar is good enough, and
even nothing would probably work, as in reality water is the cleaning
agent anyway.
