Finding the Right Detergent for our Home : Tips and Contest!
When you have little children around the house, seeing piles and piles of dirty laundry is sort of … inevitable.
School uniform. Socks. Pyjamas. Dirtied home clothes. Towels. All these plus many more. AND not to forget, OUR OWN dirty laundry!
[The kids, as part of their ‘assigned responsibility‘, would regularly help and bring the to-be-washed clothes from our bathroom to the laundry. And, sometimes they’d help and place them into the washing machine too]
The thing is, although we rely on our washing machine to ALWAYS work and do its job (on average, 3 washes a week, for my case), it can unfortunately … break down.
I remember how ours couldn’t spin properly last year, and when the ‘washing machine expert’ came to fix it, I asked him heaps of questions on HOW to better care for the drum and my front-loading washing machine.
And here are some useful tips I learned:
– Do NOT overload the machine (read: the clothes need to move freely enough during the washing)
– If the machine is only half-filled, choose the ‘less water’ setting
– Distribute the clothes evenly inside the machine
And most of all, I remember him telling me, ‘Choose low-suds detergent!’
[To read more about why too much foam is not good for our washing machine, click HERE]
[Remember to NOT over-fill the tub]
And so I searched for ‘low suds’ detergent that would work well with my ‘front loading’ washing machine, and I came across ‘SPIN Low Suds’.
Have been using it since!
Here are some of the benefits of this low suds detergent:
– Eliminates 99.9% of bacteria
– No detergent residues
– Eliminates unpleasant odour
– Less suds / foam in the washing machine leads to easier cleaning and less water needed for rinsing (ie. saves water and energy)
– Formulated for Singapore’s water condition
– Environmentally friendly (awarded the ‘Green Label’ by Singapore Environmental Council)
You can read more about its benefits HERE and HERE!
[For best results, work out the right amount of detergent to use]
And errr … I don’t know about you, but I personally prefer adding a little bit of a softener too for that added softness and nice smell, hehe.
[Anya loves the part where she gets to pour out the fabric softener]
