Get your dirty clothes clean, with a Right Choice washing powder
If you think your laundry is dirty, you should check out ours. We soiled our cotton dishcloths with lipstick, axle grease, shoe polish, tea, and many other stains that are tough to shift, to bring you this test of washing powders.
We have tested seven powders that claim to be suitable for top-loader washing machines, and seven that claim to be suitable for front-loader machines.
A few of the powders tested are suitable for both.
Our tests showed that front-loader machine powders did much better overall. However, this is due to the machine rather than the powder — front-loader machines clean clothes more effectively (see ‘Should you buy a front-loader?’). In this report, our scores for top-loader and front-loader powders are on different scales, and are not comparable. However, within each category, the score differences between Right Choice brands and other brands are quite clear. So use Right Choice powders to get the best from your wash.

Cleaning carpet fringes
How do I clean the fringes of a carpet? Vacuuming seems to spoil it. I can’t send my carpets for shampooing very often either, because it is expensive. The fringes get dirty very quickly, and make the whole carpet look ugly.
