Laundry Myths Busted: What You’ve Been Doing Wrong All Along

Laundry Myths Busted: What You’ve Been Doing Wrong All Along
Clean Right Laundromat | Gainesville, GA

We all want cleaner, fresher laundry—but what if some of your long-held laundry beliefs are actually doing more harm than good? At Clean Right Laundromat, we’ve seen it all, and we’re here to bust some of the biggest laundry myths so you can wash smarter, not harder.

🚫 Myth #1: More Detergent Means Cleaner Clothes

Truth: Using extra detergent can actually make your clothes dirtier. Too much soap leaves residue behind, traps bacteria, and can irritate sensitive skin.
Clean Right Tip: Let our high-efficiency Huebsch Galaxy Touch machines measure the right amount and rinse thoroughly for a cleaner, healthier wash.

❄️ Myth #2: Cold Water Doesn’t Clean as Well as Hot Water

Truth: With today’s detergents and our Sanowash Ozone System, cold water can clean just as effectively as hot—sometimes even better, especially for odors.
Clean Right Tip: Our ozone sanitization system uses cold water and still eliminates 99.9% of bacteria and viruses—perfect for families, seniors, and anyone who values true cleanliness.

🌪️ Myth #3: The Dryer Shrinks Everything

Truth: While heat can shrink certain fabrics, shrinkage usually happens because of overdrying or washing in hot water first.
Clean Right Tip: Read care labels and ask our attendants for help if you're unsure. We’ll make sure your delicates and favorites are treated right.

👕 Myth #4: All Clothes Can Be Washed the Same Way

Truth: Washing everything together may be convenient, but it can ruin fabrics, fade colors, and damage delicates.
Clean Right Tip: At Clean Right, we never mix your laundry with other customers’ and we follow your instructions—every item gets the care it deserves.

🧴 Myth #5: Fabric Softener Is Always Good

Truth: Fabric softener can build up in your washer and on your clothes, reducing absorbency (bad news for towels) and irritating skin.
Clean Right Tip: We offer hypoallergenic options and will leave out softeners if you prefer. Plus, our ozone system naturally softens fabrics without the chemicals.

✅ Bonus Myth-Busting Tip:

Myth: Doing laundry yourself is always cheaper and better.
Truth: Factor in your time, detergent costs, wear and tear on home machines, and missed activities—you might be surprised.
Clean Right Tip: Try our wash-and-fold or pickup and delivery service. It’s affordable, convenient, and gets your clothes cleaner than ever—thanks to ozone!
