That glow is chemical residue from optical brighteners - that your detergent leaves behind on your fabrics.
Every single wash, another layer builds up.
On your towels, this invisible coating acts like a waterproof barrier. The fibers can't absorb water because they're sealed in chemical buildup.
And here's the scary part: this same residue is building up on ALL your clothes.
The shirts against your skin.
The sheets you sleep on.
Everything.
Before you see how to avoid this for good, I have a simple question for you:
Which one of these detergents causes the LEAST harsh chemical buildup on your fabrics?
1. Liquid Detergent
2. Capsules
3. Powders
The answer is: None of them. And here’s why…
Most Americans still use liquid laundry detergent.
Even though it’s inconvenient, hard to carry, takes up too much space, it’s a hassle to use, and easy to overuse…
It can even be awful for the environment because of those single-use plastic jugs.
Those jugs may not even get recycled because 91% of plastic doesn’t get recycled. And bright-colored plastic is notoriously difficult to recycle.
