The Reviewnaut: Cheer BrightCLEAN - product review

[newbeequilter]

Once you've washed something in hot water you're already diminishing the effectiveness of a dirty sock. Drying it in a dryer in effect, "sets the stain". If you want dingy white socks to be "dedingyed", you'll probably need to add some bleach to the wash cycle or just buy detergent that has bleach in its ingredients. Unfortunately, bleach breaks down the fiber content so the clothing doesn't last as long. Best to soak your dirty/dingy white socks in cold water before washing them. Sorry.

Cheer usually makes good products, but I shouldn't be surprised here. Afterall, never trust a commercial where they get the etymology of a word wrong (the Latin "dingetta" doesn't exist, "dingy" really comes from the middle Enlgish "dinge" a variant of dung, so "dingy" essentially means to be soiled from dung).

Well said.
