For years, I thought I knew how to do laundry. Like most people, I’d load up the washer, pour in some detergent, press a few buttons, and walk away. But no matter what brand of detergent I tried, my clothes often came out looking dull, stiff, or with that faint musty smell that never really goes away.
It wasn’t until recently that I learned something surprising — the problem wasn’t the detergent, the washing machine, or even the water. It was me. More specifically, it was how I was using the detergent drawer.
