Can Laundry Boosters be combined?

When it comes to getting clothes truly clean, there are several factors that can affect how laundry detergent performs. Sometimes it’s not just the detergent itself—it’s also the type of water, the soil level, and the type of stains you’re dealing with.

1. Water Quality (Hard vs. Soft Water):

• Soft water helps detergent work more effectively because there aren’t as many minerals (like calcium and magnesium) interfering with the cleaning process.
• Hard water can make it harder for detergent to do its job. The minerals in hard water can bind with the detergent, leaving less cleaning power for your clothes. This can cause dinginess, buildup, or even stiff fabrics over time.

2. Soil Levels & Stains:
Not every load of laundry is the same—some are lightly worn, while others are heavily soiled with grease, grass, or food stains. The level of soil and the type of stain will determine if your detergent needs a little extra help.

3. Boosters & How They Work:
Rustic Strength offers several boosters that target different needs:

• OxyBoost – Works best on organic stains (like food, wine, or sweat). It uses the power of oxygen to lift and break down stains, brightening whites and colors without harsh bleach.
• Epic Washing Soda – A powerhouse for cutting through grease, oils, and odors. It softens water (helpful in hard water areas) and gives your detergent an extra boost for tackling heavily soiled loads.
• Unbleach – A gentler alternative to chlorine bleach. It helps whiten and brighten without damaging fabrics, making it perfect for loads that need a little extra brightness without the harshness of traditional bleach.

4. Putting It All Together:

• For everyday lightly soiled laundry, detergent alone often works well.
• For hard water areas, adding Epic Washing Soda and/or OxyBoost can improve cleaning performance and help prevent buildup.
• For stains and dingy whites, OxyBoost or Unbleach can give your detergent the extra cleaning power it needs.
• For heavily soiled or work clothes, combining detergent with Epic Washing Soda and/or OxyBoost can make a big difference.

Detergent is the foundation, but water quality, soil level, and the right booster can all play a role in how clean your laundry comes out. Mixing and matching these tools depending on the load ensures your clothes come out fresh, bright, and truly clean.
