Dry Clean and Laundry Myths Dispelled – Part 3

Myth #3: Chlorine Bleach Increases the Power of Detergent

It might look like a good idea to use bleach and detergent together at the same time in the same washing cycle to remove die-hard stains. However, it does not work as expected.

Chlorine bleach and detergents can actually cancel each other’s power and leave the clothes stained and dull-looking.

To allow the enzymes in the laundry detergents time to really whiten your clothes and remove the stains, wait about 5 minutes after the wash cycle begins to add the bleach.

If you want to boost chlorine bleach’s whitening power, you can add baking soda at the same time.
