Q: Do you have a laundry performance cheat sheet to help me get the most amazing clean ever?

A: Of course! Here are some step by step tips that'll help you get great cleaning results:

*sort fabrics before laundering and wash similar colors together.

*pretreat those oh-so obvious stains (see our laundry tips).

*follow the fabric care tag laundering instructions on your garments.

*don't just toss clothes in the machine like a madman. Be careful. We suggest:

- then add clothes.

*use the amount of Dreft recommended. Use more Dreft if you have large loads, or heavy soils.

*respect your washer or dryer. Don't overload it.

Q: Can I wash in cold water? I mean my clothes, not myself.

A: Yep. Dreft detergents offer great cleaning in cold water. But as with any detergent, follow the cleaning instructions from the garment manufacturer. For best results on oily/greasy stains, use warmer water.
