Coming Clean about Laundry
August 21st 2008 -
Think you’re doing a lot of laundry and cluttering up your laundry room with too much stuff? You’re 
probably right. Consider these facts from the Soap and Detergent Association:
• Women do 88 percent of the laundry.
• More than six thousand garments are machine washed each year in the typical home.
• The average consumer has eight laundry products in the laundry room—three types of detergent; one container of bleach; an oxygen-powered, color-safe bleach; two fabric softeners (a liquid and dryer sheets); and a stain remover.
