“SAFE” cleans just as powerfully in cold water as it does in hot. Since hot water breaks down fabric and dyes, cold water washing with “SAFE” helps your clothes last longer and look better.
NOTE: Local water quality varies. “Hard” water (high mineral content) will require more “SAFE” than “soft” water. Minerals in hard water may also cause dull or discolored whites.
For brighter whites, consider a water softener instead of bleach. “SAFE” reactivates residues in previously bleached clothing, which should disappear after several washes. Food-grade hydrogen peroxide can be added for a non-toxic whitening effect.
