One of the myths of doing laundry is that a little extra detergent will go a long way to get your clothes cleaner. The reality is that washing machines have become more efficient in energy and water use, and detergent has become more concentrated. Too much detergent can lead to buildup inside the machine, which then becomes a breeding ground for smelly mildew. Use the recommend amount or use less than what you think you need for truly clean clothes.
