3. Choose your products wisely

Going to the laundry detergent aisle can be a real headache. There are many types of detergents, softeners, and conditioners, and sometimes it is hard to decide which ones are the most effective and which ones have the best prices compared to their quality.

If you want to stop buying detergents from the store, this is perfectly fine, and you can try to make your own laundry detergent at home. There are many detergent recipes you can find online.

Also, when you want to pre-treat the stains, you can use Dawn, and if the stain is a stubborn one, try adding a little bit of vinegar as a rinse aid. Some people say that they managed to save up to $200 per year by making their own detergent at home.
