Your clothes form an integral part of your personality. Along with the right type of washing machine, you also need the right type of detergent to keep your clothes looking fresh and smart.

Use the following checklist to find the right laundry detergent for your clothes.

1) For Thorough Cleaning

Some laundry detergents do the job better than others. Inexpensive detergents can clean your clothes, but you’re likely to use more product per load, or have to repeat the process multiple times. Whereas pricier formulas can do the job effectively with a lesser amount of product used per load. So, pick the right detergent, one that can clean your clothes thoroughly in a single wash.

2) For Efficiency

Most modern washing machines come with a ‘high-efficiency’ label and need high-efficiency detergents. These detergents easily rinse away all the dirt using less water. However, if your washing machine isn’t a high-efficiency one, you can still use high-efficiency detergent and get amazing results. On the other hand, if your washing machine is a high-efficiency one, you can’t use regular detergent. This type of machine is formulated to clean the load using less water and a regular detergent requires a lot of water for cleaning.

3) For Fragrance

The fragrance is an important parameter to consider when buying a detergent, so choose your detergent accordingly. Also, if you’re sensitive to certain fragrances, or someone in your family is, a detergent without any fragrance may be the right pick for you.

4) To Prevent Allergies

If you or someone in your family has sensitive skin, a detergent with dye-free ingredients should be the right choice for you. Remember that while washing your childs’ clothes, you should avoid using a highly scented detergent as this may cause skin irritation or an allergy of some sort.
