    alpine powders.

  2. cntrygrlmel00 says:

    Wash in cold water except for you under garmonts and try using Arm -n- Hammer detergant.

  3. Ryan's wifey says:

    Woolite, they make one for dark clothes and one for lites! It’s real gentle!

  4. Carrie T says:

    I prefer liquid Tide. Do not wash in cold water if the garmet has any stains because it will set the stains. You can use the liquid tide to pretreat any stains.

    Air dry your clothes or dry them on delicate to help keep them from shrinking.

    For delicate fabrics I would use Woolite. I works well but you will want to pretreat any stains.

    Also, if they are very colorful, I would use Clorox 2 for colors to help keep the colors bright. I use it in every load of mine and my daughters clothes and it helps to keep the colors from fading - I love it! It is also great in the wash to really help remove any stains!

    Shout also makes Color Catchers. They look like dryer sheets and you put them in with you wash. They absorb any colors that bleed out in the wash to keep your clothes from absorbing the color. They work really well, but can be hard to find sometimes.

    Good Luck and have fun shopping!
