I'd believe this article much more if the author's agenda was even remotely related to laundering clothes.
"Your laundry is filthier than you think because THE GUMMINT!"
Protip: Sodium percarbonate (i.e. OxiClean) does a great job of cleaning clothes (in addition to detergent); it releases hydrogen peroxide in solution with water, which is a decent (though not perfect) disinfectant and oxidizing agent. But it's not banned by The Man so it's not as exciting as the civil disobedience of wasting water or polluting rivers with phosphates.
- hollerith 12y agowhat you refer to is also known as oxygen bleach. I have been using oxygen bleach in the kitchen and on my tile floors for many years. it is good stuff, but makes cotton washrags wear out and come apart much faster -- maybe ten times faster. in the kitchen, I solve this problem by using nylon microfiber rags, but clothing made of nylon is uncomfortable. so, although I put oxygen bleach in my washer periodically (to kill germs that persist between washer loads) I do it only when I am running the washer without any cotton clothing in it.
