Finally, I wash the swatches in a normal cold-water cycle with the same control load of laundry, changing only the detergent. Then I let them sit for 24 hours, because the longer a stain marinates, the more difficult it will be to get out.
My usual process is to stain identical white cotton swatches with notoriously hard-to-clean substances like tomato sauce, lipstick, foundation, grass, and chili oil. With the help of my trusty spectrometer, a device that measures color, I’ve tested more than 60 popular laundry detergents to assess how well they handle common stains. As part of our day-to-day operations, I present all things related to laundry, textile care, and stain removal on TikTok and Instagram, where I share industry secrets, laundry-care tips, and my favorite products the years, I’ve tried countless laundry detergents - and even gone so far as to submit many of the most well-known brands to rigorous testing. Four years later, I am a fourth-generation dry cleaner and a big laundry nerd. Right out of school I went to work as a construction consultant focusing on high-end build-outs that’s when my dad, the managing director of luxury dry cleaner Jeeves NY, noticed that our clientele was similar and asked if I’d be interested in joining the family business.
