Can confirm this

Modern laundry sauce doesn’t cause color leaching like old laundry sauce did

…..call it something else

clothes marinade

I’m gonna be real here, separate your clothes by water temperature. Whites & super soiled clothes should be washed in hot water with a splash of bleach. Colors in warm water & colors/ darks should be washed in cold water. If you wash your colors/darks in hot water & dry on high heat you’re gonna fade & wear your clothes out so much faster. If you wash your whites with colors they will get dingy. Delicates get washed on gentle with warm or cold. Wool gets washed on whatever your gentlest cycle is, or just handwash by swishing it around in a bowl/sink/tub with a squirt of dish soap, only put wool in the dryer if it has a wool setting, otherwise line dry it. Oxyclean really does help. Soak bloodstains in cold water (bloodstains can be spot treated after the fact & still come out). Dawn gets out grease, & zote soap & a toothbrush are your friend.
