More mild detergents (grey water recycling detergents, specifically Oasis, are great for this) and hang drying, when an option, help a lot.

Also, I’ve learned that using fabric softeners does much more harm to any material than good. White vinegar is recommended as it’s a softening agent, and if anyones worried about the vinegar smell, it disappears, and is so much better for washers and dryers, keeping them much cleaner because fabric softeners made for laundry leave a film on both your laundry and your appliances that keeps building up over time.

I switched to white vinegar years and years ago and never looked back.

Same with me, along with baking soda, too. I use them both for so many things, and can’t imagine spending so much money on all the “newest, latest and greatest things”, seen in commercials everyday.
