What Laundry Detergent Should I use for these compression tights?

I use Tide Sport to wash all my running clothes and it works great. I'm not sure that the detergent makes a huge difference. I would agree with the last answer about making sure to air dry them though, and not put them in the dryer. The heat can eventually break down the spandex fibers.

Hi Deborah, I use gain. However, I don't put them in the dryer, I let them air dry.

I use a homemade powder detergent in my HE washer on the regular cycle (hot wash/cold rinse) with an extra rinse. No fabric softener and if you choose to dry in the dryer, no dryer sheet should be used as they will decrease absorbancy. Personally I line dry.

HE? This detergent makes clothes smell SOOO good, even after they've been hanging in your closet for a little while. I suggest to buy the bigger bottles though....if you can find a good bargain on it! :)

The Forever New Fabric Care Wash is powder. I tried the liquid and didn't like it as well as the powder. I think it's a case of personal choice between the two.

No laundry instructions were attached. I recommend warm water and a Bounce sheet (or your softener preference). I use Tide with bleach alternative. Regular bleach would be a huge mistake with the multi colors.

I use a front loading HE washer. I don't use it for my delicates because I don't want the friction from ball on my silks. Everything else is still working great. My towels are not having residual odors from souring or pets. I continue to like this product.

Tide! No need to go buy fancy suggested diaperonly detergent. Tide and no fabric softener. Dry on med heat or line dry!

I use the product solely on my clothes/underwear. I use regular detergent for everything else. Live the smell and I keep it just for me!

Use 1 teaspoon of fragrant liquid fabric softener in a gallon of distilled water. Make sure it's fully dissolved before using it.

I believe there were directions as to how much to use on the box, which I followed and I have an HE washer and was using it for baby clothes as well. I stopped using the powder and switched to Whole Foods liquid detergent.

Personally I would hand wash and air dry. If you wanted to machine wash you could try putting them in a lingerie bag in cold water, on the gentle cycle and then air dry.

Really, just wash by themselves (not with any other laundry) in cold water with extra rinse and NEVER use any fabric softener. You get into trouble when you use detergents with extra ingredients like fabric softeners, oxyclean, brighteners, etc. Dry without fabric softeners on low heat. If you air dry the cloth will become stuff and scratchy. And if you wash or dry with other laundry you risk lint balls ruining the cloth.

I have used both liquid and powder homemade laundry soap. We haven't had any problems at all, although we have only had the washer for a few months. I think if you have a low sudsing formula and use an appropriate amount, you would be fine (just like any other detergent.....you don't need much)

I use cold water to wash all my clothes and the soap nuts worked fine. I did not use the liquid version though. I soaked the soap nuts in hot water first before putting in the washer (along with the water). I also put in a bit oxi-clean and baking soda. I use the wool balls with essential oil for dryer instead of dryer sheet. They ,too, work very well for me.
