Complicated detergent compounds!
I use the mix of compounds in my wash that I do simply out of habit I guess, and maybe a bit of OCD hahaha.
Seriously, I do have a "thing" about my whites being "whiter than white." (Despite vulgar rumors to the contrary, I do not have a "thing" for soiled, well, you know...) The combination I've worked out, especially with Oxi-Clean now, really does the trick. I like wearing white t-shirts (Dickies pocket-Ts mostly), but the minute they start looking gray or yellowed, into the rag bin they go.
According to my mom, laundry bluing works best with clothes that dry outside in the sun, but the heck with that! Laundry is among my least-favorite household duties, so the less work it entails the better! Especially since I am still scarred for life from my childhood, when hanging clothes on the clotheslines for a family of 7 (5 kids) was one of my chores. To this day, wooden clothespins give me the willies!
