Lesson Overview

3.6 – Choosing Laundry Detergents and Alternatives: Picking the right detergent is about more than scent; it’s about matching the product to your skin type, machine type, and environmental goals. Some detergents are designed for sensitive skin, while others fight deep stains or preserve colors. Reading the label helps you understand what’s inside—chemicals, enzymes, or natural ingredients. Liquid detergents work best for cold washes, while powders perform better for heavy loads. There are also eco-friendly options, like soap nuts or homemade solutions, that clean without harsh residues. Choosing wisely can save money, protect your clothes, and keep your skin irritation-free. Experimenting with small amounts helps you find what works best for your lifestyle. This small decision builds responsibility and awareness about what you bring into your home. Every product you choose reflects your values—cleanliness, health, and sustainability. Understanding detergent types turns a basic task into a mindful act of self-care and smart decision-making that extends far beyond laundry day.
