I sort/separate so technical gear (hiking gear and other polyester stuff) doesn’t get washed with detergent but don’t see the need to use the more expensive stuff (non chlorine bleach) on regular clothes
Oh-i wasn’t expecting anyone to ask a follow-up… I think so, tbh it feels like every website says differently and when you read through it’s because they are all advertising a some brand of cleaner.
Ideally you want the polyester wicking moisture away from you and imo detergent always leaves a waxxy-feeling residual layer that is seemingly less noticeable on clothes made of cotton or other natural fibers.

Does the detergent affect the water shedding of polyester?
