Fact or Fiction? Laundry Myths.

Laundry stories always amaze me, along with the myths that people tell me so here are a few, and "No the abominable snow man is not real!"

Myth #1: Use Hair Spray to Remove Ink

Yes ladies and gentleman hair spray was big in the 80's but that doesn't mean it works now-a-days. In the 1950's hair spray contained alcohol hence it could remove ink stains however hair spray doesn't contain alcohol hence it will not remove ink stains could in fact ruin the garment or product even more!

Myth #2: Add Coffee to Rinse Water to Keep Clothes Black

I heard a story about a lady whom added a cup of black coffee to her darks to keep them dark however for this to work you would need a washer filled with espresso to have any effect on your darks, and will not keep clothing from fading!

Myth #3: Hot Water Kills All Laundry Germs

Ok, now I would hope you have learn that this is myth from my blog about how to disinfect bedding a few weeks ago if not please refer to it- You can not kill all germs and bacteria with a hot wash sometimes it will only increase the growth of germs the only way to ensure germ free clothing is to disinfect with a chlorine bleach like Eco Store Pure Oxygen.
