  • Agreed, day to day you wouldnt notice the white changing but hold up a 6month old shirt next to a new one of the same type and its definately greyer.

    Whites i always do on their own with a sprinkle of napisan with the washing powder. Courled and darks can be done together if the loads arent big enough to run two cycles. All loads i only ever wash cold, and half a scoop of powder max, the ‘reccomended’ amount is too much, especially if the load isnt completely full. I have never had an issue with smells, stains, dirty clothes with the reduced powder amount.

    But i will never wash new dark clothes without giving them a couple rinses in a bucket of water first. Sometimes it takes ~8 buckets cycles of hand washing/rinsing to get the colour to stop running from jeans and dark items that first time.




  • Some science is just

    1. Well this makes sense in my head, so ill experiment to check and prove im right.
    2. Huh, weird results, not what i expected.
    3. Trying again with different method/testing criteria/focus
    4. Still not what i thought, why is this happening?
    5. Oh thats cool, it turns out that X is actually happening and its because of some completely different thing i had never considered before, how exciting!
