Here's how we picked the best-selling lingerie products on Amazon
We have selected the following lingerie items based on their good reviews. In addition to reviews, we rely on expert advice to figure out what types of clothes are most useful when doing laundry. That's what they said.
- Detergent Type: Tablets, liquids and powders are the three most common types of detergents on the market.

"These formulas allow you to adjust the amount used depending on what you're washing." Our experts agree it comes down to personal preference. That's why we've listed all the types you can choose from.
- Stain-Removing Ingredients: Detergents and stain removers can be helpful in removing dirt and stains from dirty clothes. "Look for products that contain enzymes," says Rapinchuk. "These break down dirt and help it wash away your items. They also help eliminate odors. All detergents and stain removers listed below contain enzymes.
- Useful accessories: In addition to detergents and stain removers, there are various laundry accessories that can make cleaning clothes easier. If you need to wash underwear or other delicates, you can prevent damage in the washing machine by placing them in a mesh laundry bag, says Patric Richardson, author of Laundry Love . Speaking of which, some items of clothing need to be air dried. Therefore, our experts recommend having a drying rack handy. When putting clothes in the dryer, consider using wool dryer balls instead of dryer sheets — they're eco-friendly, free from harsh chemicals, and leave your clothes super soft, says Rapinchuk. Below you will find mesh laundry bags, drying racks and premium wool drying balls.

Expert tips to make laundry easier
While doing laundry is never high on your list of fun things to do, it doesn't have to be painful. To make this easier, experts suggest the following tips:
- Prepare your supplies: "Everything is easier when you are prepared, even the clothes," says Richardson, who says having laundry supplies on hand can make the process easier. Keep detergent and stain remover next to the machine. This way you can easily add the soap and if you spot a stain when you throw something in the machine you can immediately grab the stain remover and treat it.
- Do it often: It makes sense to avoid tasks you don't like, but it's not always your responsibility to do so. If you let the laundry pile up, it becomes overwhelming and takes longer. Rapinchuk recommends washing clothes as soon as you have enough for a full load, even if that means washing them daily. Eating it in small portions makes it easier to manage, he says.
- Mix it all up: "Drop everyone in the family," says Rapinchuk. Ask them to throw all dirty clothes there. Then, when the basket is full, throw everything in the washing machine and use cold water, she says. The cold keeps things from bleeding and allows you to use one large load instead of separate loads for brilliant white laundry. The only exception to this rule: if you want to lighten your white clothes, or if you have new dark jeans or colorful clothes that can get washed out in the first few washes.
