Why does washing my colored clothes make them blotchy so often?
Thanks for your advice, everyone! I already put the liquid detergent in first, run the water, and then wait until it’s dissolved before adding my clothes. I did not do my last load of laundry, though (the one that resulted in two beloved shirts getting blotchy). I suspect that the guy who did it did not let the detergent dissolve. In the future I’ll try less detergent, lighter laundry load, and seeing if my parents’ washer has a liquid dispenser (rather than pouring it directly into the machine). Also, good idea about leaving a container of Seventh Gen at their house! I’ll bring one the next time I go there and hopefully avoid Tide altogether.
