Skip the Stain Removers. This Laundry Detergent Is All You Need.

One of the best things about working at Wirecutter is having access to exceptionally discerning experts on a wide range of topics. Have a mold problem in your house? Liam McCabe is just a Slack message away. Want to revive a pilly sweater? Zoe Vanderweide’s got you. And when it comes to laundry, Andrea Barnes is the preeminent expert on getting things clean. Even as someone who has been knee-deep in cleaning for years now, I’m always learning something new from Andrea about the chemistry of laundry detergents and how the ingredients in each formula work together to get stains and odors out of clothing.
