Best Practices for Laundry Detergent

One of the most important decisions you’ll make as a WashPro is choosing the right detergent.
​

DON’T USE PODS: Pods can damage laundry and even your washer and dryer over time. If you cause damage by using pods, and it was verified, you will be financially responsible for the damage, and no tip.
​

DON’T CHEAP OUT: Investing in a top-rated detergent pays off. High-quality detergents result in better customer experiences, more tips, and repeat business. A clean, fresh-smelling stack of laundry is the key to satisfied customers. The difference between a low cost detergent and a premium detergent is pennies. In the long run, you’ll get better reviews, more loyal customers, and better tips with a premium detergent.

Whats the first thing people do when they get their laundry back??? Put their nose in it, and smell the freshness.

RECOMMENDED BRANDS:

Also, be careful with Gain—its distinct scent doesn’t appeal to everyone, leading to higher complaint ratios.
​

Let’s cover hypoallergenic detergent. Around 20% of customers need this, so it’s important to have it in stock. Hypoallergenic detergent is specially formulated without dyes, perfumes, scents, or optical brighteners, making it ideal for customers with sensitive skin, allergies, or other health concerns. It’s essential to take this seriously, as using the wrong detergent can lead to discomfort or reactions for these customers. This is definitely not an area to cut corners.

If a customer requests hypoallergenic detergent, confirm that you have it before accepting the order.

Warning!! Unscented or scent-free is NOT the same as Hypoallergenic!!
