#2 How do I get my clothes cleaner?
Good question! There's more to getting cleaner clothes out of your washer than just the detergent you use.
Sorting
The first thing you'll need to do, and it's kind of a groaner, is sort your clothes. It really does make a difference. All clothes have those tags that we like to ignore that tell us exactly how to wash them. It's time for us to stop ignoring them! Following the fabric care instructions is the best way to clean our clothes and make them last longer.
By sorting your clothes based off their tag information, you can bundle them up and wash a batch of clothing that all need the same cycle and temperature setting. Then do another load, with its own cycle and temperature setting. Then the next, and the next. This way, all of your clothes come out looking their best. That's why your washer has so many cycle options!
Pre-soaking
Another thing that helps is pre-treating. Applying some detergent directly to the stain or even pre-soaking it with a little detergent can help get rid of tough stains. Oh, and make sure you're using something designed for stain removal that's colour safe. Many of Samsung models come with presoak options, and some top load models even have an Activewash sink to help with this.
Loading
Finally, make sure you're using a proper load size. Yeah, many of our models are huge and can take a lot of clothing, but every washer has a point where it's just too much to run in one cycle. Since you're sorting your clothes anyway (right?) this is easier to handle. Also, be sure that you're adjusting your detergent usage to the size of each load you run; if your load is a lot smaller than usual, your detergent amount should reflect that.
