Ever washed your clothes and they still smell funny? Or maybe your whites are turning grey, and stains just won’t go away? Before you blame your washing machine, here’s the truth: it might be your detergent.
1. You’re Using Too Much (Yes, Really)
More soap doesn’t mean cleaner clothes. Excess detergent can leave residue, attract dirt, and damage fabric. Stick to the recommended amount—especially if you’re using a high-efficiency washing machine.
2. Hard Water = Bad Results
In many Kenyan homes, especially in Nairobi and its outskirts, hard water can stop detergent from lathering properly. The fix? Try a detergent that works well in hard water or add a water softener.
3. You’re Not Pre-Treating Stains
That ugali or oil stain won’t disappear just by tossing it in the wash. Spot-treat stains before washing—use a paste of detergent and water, let it sit, then wash as usual.
4. Wrong Detergent for the Job
Dish soap for laundry? Powder for hand-washing a baby onesie? Mismatch! Make sure you’re using the right product for the right task.

Use the correct amount of detergent
Pre-treat stubborn stains
