This week, we go deep on laundry—what you may be doing wrong, how to pretreat stains, and the tips and tricks to make it all easier.
Staff writer Andrea Barnes, Wirecutter’s laundry and large-appliance expert, joins us to talk about choosing the right detergent (hint: liquid and powder aren’t created equal), how to avoid allergic reactions to detergent, and when you can skip dry cleaning.
We dig into laundry hacks for removing all types of stains—from red wine to cat puke—and discuss why you really don’t need specialty stain removers.
Plus, Andrea reveals the one eco-friendly swap that will make your clothes last.
