<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span">This detergent is endorsed by dermatologists worldwide. Its plus point is that it does not leave residue on clothes and rinses </span><b><span class="Apple-style-span">completely clean</span></b><span class="Apple-style-span">.

Well, even if you believe that your clothes *appear* clean, I can assure you that there's stuff so tiny you can't spot with your eyes! (And when I say that, I don't mean dust) If you want to learn the 3 effective and easy tweaks to your method of washing clothes, then you're on the road to CLEANER and SAFER clothes. :D (i'll explain the safer bit later :P)</span><br />
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>More doesn't always mean better </b>(hint: could make it worse too)</span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Okay guys, it's time to get rid of this notion that spamming detergent is going to solve all your problems. <i>It isn't. </i>If your detergent isn't getting rid of stains, or if you think your clothes still stink after one cycle in the washing machine, maybe it's time to get a change of your brand of detergent. Concentration just isn't the issue! (most of the time) </span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Look, if the label tells you to use XX amount, then that's the amount you use. Don't get crazy and pour detergent in because it's (probably) gonna destroy your clothes (make it dingy and stuff) as well as screw up your washing machine, not to mention the extra suds (which in turn leaves a residue that's gonna affect your next load as well). So, step 1: <u>Be a good boy (or girl) and follow the instructions on the label!</u></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Drying your clothes may not be a great idea</b></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">To tell you the truth, this is new for me too. Didn't really know this until I started to do some extra research before penning this article. (Hey, despite sounding quite informal and stuff, my info's reliable and I actually do my homework before writing my articles. There's no way I'm gonna trick my readers just to get my blog posts out. :D)</span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So here goes. I guess (if you've been reading any of my posts at all) all of you know that your detergent or whatever contains chemicals, some of which are allergens that can cause allergies and other bad stuff to happen, especially if you have sensitive skin. Well, this problem apparently gets much worse if you use a home dryer after cleaning it with detergent. I won't bore you with the details but the bottom line is, drying it releases more toxins that will damage your clothes. So, here's step 2: <u>Don't use a home dryer, or at least use unscented detergent.</u></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Use "cleaner" detergent!</b></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In case you guys didn't know, I'm a strong advocate of <a href="http://www.blogger.com/"><span id="goog_1924282272"></span>hypoallergenic detergent<span id="goog_1924282273"></span></a>. It's basically your normal detergent, just without most of the bad stuff that causes allergies in it. Sure, it may cost slightly more, but I'm telling you that the benefits outweigh the cost. (I'm not gonna say too much here, cos' I have entire articles dedicated to this on my site! Just use the links on my nav. bar!) <u>Step 3: For heaven's sake, switch to hypoallergenic laundry detergent.</u></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So far, I've basically outlined all the steps you need to take if you want a better cleaner clothes at the end of the day, all with some easy tweaks to your cleaning process. :D hope this has been helpful for you, and have a great day (or month, or year, or decade, or century) ahead! </span></div>

If you live in Demark or Sweden, then you might want to visit the Ariel Fashion Shoot to win some prizes (as well as have some fun) :)</span><br />

<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Unlike typical fashion shoots, this one will (unfortunately) not have stunning models strutting around. Nope, the focus this time will be on designer apparels and of course, you will get to play a huge role in it. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Those of you already thinking of wearing the clothes and walking away with it... WOAH, slow down a moment. I never did say that, did I? Your huge role, unbelievable as it may sound, would be to try your best to dirty the clothes on display. As an added incentive, they'll give the clothes to you. FOR FREE! (after washing with their AWESOME Ariel Actilift detergent of course)</span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Personally, I see this as a super cool campaign to market their product. If you've been following some of my previous posts on detergent commercials, then you'll know what I mean when I say I see a trend in interesting marketing efforts by detergent companies. This is just one example, and I'm sure there will be more to follow. </span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So, do keep an eye out on upcoming advertising efforts in the laundry detergent market. I just know they'll have another great idea to surprise (and entertain you with)! :D</span></div>

I couldn't find a single piece of information or previous review or customer satisfaction or anything like that on the Internet. needless to say, it wasn't listed on Amazon, or even Ebay for that matter. Nope, neither was in the my local supermarket, and the salespeople had no idea what I was talking about when I mentioned Fuzol.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px; line-height: 16px;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px; line-height: 16px;">Spooky, eh? :)</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px; line-height: 16px;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px; line-height: 16px;">Oh well,maybe they're a new product yet to be released.

Then, all of a sudden, the "hero" comes in with his laundry detergent in hand to save the day. <br /><br />Oh well, those days are over. Woolite, the laundry detergent manufacturer, is apparently looking at novel ways to market their product. Using a horror theme in their commercial, they make sure you treat your clothes with proper care and use the right detergent on them.<br /><br /><iframe width="560" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/krHhT5KFLAg" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br /><br />You got that right! Don't let detergent torture your clothes. Getting Rob Zombie to film this kind of commercial? I'm not too sure if this is going to have a positive impact on branding! I mean, little kids could be watching this commercial and not dare to put their clothes on anymore!! :D <br /><br />Okay, jokes aside, I do see a NEW WAVE coming. The laundry detergent industry is changing. The next time you purchase laundry detergent, make your decision wisely. You don't want nightmares haunting you at night, after all! ;) (Kay, I wasn't exactly serious about the jokes aside. I mean, how do you get serious after watching a commercial like that!!)<br /><br />P.S. If you really don't want to torture your clothes (or your skin), I would really recommend making the switch to hypoallergenic laundry detergent.Kenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00958613313684298337noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-457987292312476731.post-49118723063008853452010-10-19T21:09:00.000-07:002011-01-16T21:03:52.728-08:00Hypoallergenic Laundry Detergent Cleaning Tips<ul><a href="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/56/146210872_35ab5cb7b1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br /></a><a href="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/56/146210872_35ab5cb7b1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br /></a></ul><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, 'sans serif'; font-size: 13px; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); line-height: 16px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; "><img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/56/146210872_35ab5cb7b1.jpg" border="0" height="240" width="320" /></span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, 'sans serif'; font-size: 13px; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); line-height: 16px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; "><br /></span></div><div><ul><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, 'sans serif'; font-size: 13px; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); line-height: 16px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; ">If you are washing an item for the first time, make sure you check the garment care label for instructions. Different materials usually have different requirements</span></li></ul><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, 'sans serif'; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;"><br /></span></span></div><ul><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, 'sans serif'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;">Separate the dry dark or the brightly colored items when you first purchase them before washing. This is to allow the excess dye to bleed out and prevents the dye from being transferred onto your other clothes</span></li></ul><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, 'sans serif'; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;"><br /></span></span></div><ul><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, 'sans serif'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;">If you have dark clothes, then try turning them inside out before placing in the washing machine. This prevents the colors on the shirt from fading away and pilling of the outer surfaces will be significantly reduced. </span></li></ul><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, 'sans serif'; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;"><br /></span></span></div><ul><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, 'sans serif'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;">Some laundry detergents do not work well in both warm and cold water. In such cases, you will need to check the label or just test it out yourself. While hot water can increase solubility and prevent residue, it may not give you the best results as hot water tends to cause fading and damage to fabrics as compared to cooler water.</span></li></ul><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, 'sans serif'; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;"><br /></span></span></div><ul><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, 'sans serif'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;">Pretreatment can help to clear stains more effectively. For daily washing, place light colored or white clothes in either warm or cool water. To get extra whitening, separate the whites and wash in warm water with addition of about half a cup of baking soda.</span></li></ul><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, 'sans serif'; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;"><br /></span></span></div><ul><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, 'sans serif'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;">Dirtied clothes should not be washed together with the cleaner ones.

In my painfully limited dicitonary (in my head), soap basically has two definitions. From what I understand, it can either be in bar form or in liquid form. Hey, no surprise there! (note: I assume that liquid form and foam form are the same so nope, I didn't forget it or anything)
<br />
<br />While I understand that there are many hypoallergenic soap brands, I am only going to state a few here. I think there is no point to differentiate between hypoallergenic bar soap or liquid soap so I will just put them all together.
<br />
<br /><strong>Dr Bronner's Hypoallergenic Soap</strong>
<br />Okay the one I'm talking about here is the "baby mild" unscented liquid wash. You should be able to find this in mainstream grocery stores or if not, you would most definitely be able to find it online.
<br />
<br />While this is a great wash, it isn't the best solution if your skin is ultra-sensitive (it's main drawback). This is because of the exceedingly akali content which might irritate you. While I have seen great comments on this product, it seems that it is best used away from sensitive areas.
<br />
<br />One interesting thing about this product is that there are many varieties (in terms of scent - like peppermint, lavendar, just to name a few)
<br />
<br /><strong>Aveeno Body Wash - Green cap</strong> (recommended by user's dermatologist)
<br />You can use the Shave Gel for shaving your body hair and the body wash for well, washing your body! This product comes recommended by my friend's dermatologist and is "extremely mild such that it wouldn't irritate you at all". The bottle doesn't have the words hypoallergenic on it so many those with allergies to avoid this.
<br />
<br />Should be widely available in drugstores and I haven't been able to find any other complaints about this product.
<br />
<br /><strong>Cetaphil cleanser</strong> (purportedly doesn't qualify as a soap but I will put it here anyway. Friend is adamant that it is a cleanser and not a soap)
<br />
<br />Okay this is one of the most common and highly recommended hypoallergenic soap. This is also purportedly one of the "best hypoallergic soap you can find out there" and many doctors recommend it, especially for the sensitive female private parts.
<br />
<br />There is a face wash version of this but the one you want is really the Cetaphil liquid cleanser. If you are not sure of the variety to choose (or if you even have a variety to choose from), the "Gentle Skin" one should be best for really sensitive skin.
<br />
<br />While this may seem all good and all, there is a major flaw (according to reviews), and that being the fact that it can't perform its most important function well. When I say that, I actually mean cleaning. It supposedly isn't able to clean very well so if you have outbreaks, it is recommended that you try a different brand. Of course, if your skin is just purely sensitive and you aren't really prone to outbreaks, go ahead and use this.
<br />
<br />
<br /><strong>Final Disclaimer</strong> here, I may have tried some of the above but definitely not all of it. Instead, whatever I have written above is based on the reviews of real people who have really tried these products. While I cannot vouch for its complete truth, I would say that these reviews are as close as you can get to it. Thanks for your understanding.</span></div><div><span style="font-size:85%;"></span> </div><div><span style="font-size:85%;">Image taken from: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/desiitaly/2254327579/"><span style="font-size:100%;">http://www.flickr.com/photos/desiitaly/2254327579/</span></a></span></div>Kenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00958613313684298337noreply@blogger.com0
