Everyday laundry? What product do I use?

For everyday laundry, the best product to use depends on the type of clothes you wash most often and any specific fabric needs. For regular items such as T-shirts, shirts, underwear and socks, a good-quality biological liquid detergent is usually the most effective choice. Liquid detergents dissolve quickly, work well at lower temperatures and help remove common stains like sweat and food without damaging fabrics.

If you have sensitive skin or wash baby clothes, a non-biological detergent is a safer option, as it avoids enzymes that can sometimes cause irritation. Powder detergents are also suitable for everyday laundry, especially for white clothing, as they often contain brightening agents that help keep whites looking fresh.

For best results, always follow the care labels on your garments. Washing at 30-40°C is normally sufficient for daily laundry and helps reduce energy use while protecting fabric quality. Fabric conditioner is optional but can help keep clothes soft and reduce static.

Occasionally, delicate or specialist items may need professional attention. A trusted local laundry service such as Light and Bright Dry Cleaners can advise on caring for garments that are not suitable for home washing. Using the right laundry product and method will keep your everyday clothes clean, comfortable and long-lasting.
