With the laundry detergent, do you use a hard water softener here in Little Rock? I know my water is not as soft as what my parents have in their state where they have a water softener in their house for all of their water. Ours isn’t as hard as theirs is before the softener or as soft as theirs is after their softener. Also some reviews also mention fading of their dark clothing. If I always was darks in cold water should I assume I won’t get fading?
I don’t have hard water here in LR. There aren’t mineral deposits around faucets or rings on my toilet (at least not from the water...)
I wash most things in warm or hot. Very new (& esp nicer) dark clothes I wash cold. Most of the guys’ workout clothes are dark. They are stinky and I feel warm water helps get their athletic clothes cleaner. I’ve not noticed unusual or excessive fading. Of course there is fading over time — but no difference than what is to be expected.
I started using Charlie’s soap almost 11 years ago when cloth diapering. I figured if the soap, recommended by diaper companies, got poopie diapers clean it would get our clothes clean. And it has.
Yes Julie! Drop spot on!! 😉
