I have discovered that washing clothes in cold water + blue laundry detergent is a terrible combo detergent doesn't dissolve as well in cold water and bc it's colored it sticks on clothes literally so many of my clothes have blue stains and I want to cry

If you ever notice this sometimes you can rewash before it goes through the dryer, also using a double rinse cycle and doing smaller loads of laundry

yeah I highly recommend against doing this with light colored clothes I've been noticing the little blue stains over the past months and I just put together what was happening lol the good news is that if you put some white revive powder in a bucket with warm water and soak your clothes in it that helps get rid of the stains!

do you think white revive powder would work on some of my white shirts that have turned grayish because I washed them with black stuff lol

I think so! I've used this method for other types of stains and even if it doesn't make it go away completely it does make a difference

that's a good idea! tbh I'm planning to switch back to clear detergent bc I've never had any issues with that
