Geez CR, how dare you make a laundry video without our favorite laundry expert influencer?!? I watched all your laundry videos just to hear his awesome accent lol 😅
Detergent powder are better and economical than liquids, but companies push liquids for more money. Also concentrated liquids and fabric softeners accumulate inside the drum and reduce the life.
Yes. 20 years ago we had lots of brands of powder detergent to choose from. Now there’s only a couple of brands of powder left at the store.
Powdered detergent is definitely better at cleaning clothes.
It is always a good idea to soak heavily soiled clothes for a period of time before washing them.
Just to share an Eastern European perspective: we mostly use capsules, and we don't have dryers, we just hang the clothes until they are dry.
I hang dry my clothes on a clothing rack with hangers. I place a couple of plastic dishpans underneath to catch the drips.
Interesting that CR switches between pushing for cold water and warm water. I think we're generally in a place that we understand that warmer temperatures are necessary to clean tougher stains (oils) and that cold is suited for the lower soiled items.
All these consumer tips should be a must watch for all kids in high school
Why so late. Parents are the first teachers in any child's life. My children started to help with the laundry as of elementary school. They helped separate the very soiled clothes from regular; whites, light, and dark colors by the 2nd grade. They learned their colors in preschool. They helped spot treat their favorite clothes, making sure that things didn't get permitely stained. My boys decided to wash their own laundry by age 14. If they ran into stain or special materials, they had me around to help. School are their to let parents know that their children are behind in standards. We are there to motivate and prepare them for life. Do let government raise your children, they will change your family values too.
@@crybebebunny you've never heard of home economics?
@BumCover Yes, school decided to teach that to the foreign students, poor students and other whom they believe would not go to college. They primary were for girls. I had that class which was an easy A and a waste of my time because I learned nothing I did already know from my own upbringing. I wish that they would teach how to do your Taxes. A true sewing class. I already knew how to budget divide and purchase things by the unit or ounce no matter what packages size. I learned that in 3rd grade.
I think if you are not living within a family, then the class/subject might benefit one or you are being raised by a nanny or babysitter, never participate in groceries or chores with your family, then that class can be important.
@crybebebunny you're right...far, far right and have been indoctrinated by MAGA and their intoxicating kool-aid Quit listening to Tucker Carlson and other knuckleheads like him
