Front-load washers are terrible at getting smells out of clothing unless you mask it with perfume.

One thing I've used for a while to get grease spots out:

Mix a couple tablespoons of blue Dawn dishwashing liquid with about 1/4 cup of baking soda to get a mintyblue paste. Slap that on to grease spots with a spoon and work it in to the fabric. Let sit for a while and wash as normal. You may need to wash a couple times as the baking soda can leave white debris behind.

Seems to work on all but the most stubborn, old spots.

... only problem is Dawn is heavily perfumed, so you smell like dishwashing soap. Only wash the stuff you're cleaning when you do this unless you like your shorts and pants to smell like freshly laundered dinner plates.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Liquid Alchemy for My Laundry”

Reviewer: Modern Midas, Closet Philosopher

Review: Before Tyler, my life was ordinary — my clothes smelled like, well, clothes. Then I discovered this golden elixir disguised as detergent. Suddenly, every spin cycle feels like a coronation. My T‑shirts now shimmer with the aura of Versailles, my socks radiate the confidence of Wall Street, and my bath towels whisper encouragement as I dry off.

It’s not just laundry; it’s transformation. Tyler has turned my humble existence into something gilded. I walk into rooms and people ask, “Who is this radiant figure?” The answer: a man whose jeans were baptized in Diva.

Pros:

My laundry basket now doubles as a treasure chest. Neighbors assume I’ve hired a personal perfumer. Even my gym clothes smell like victory.

Cons:

I can no longer relate to mortals who use bargain detergent. My wallet has developed trust issues.

Final Verdict: Five stars. Tyler didn’t just clean my clothes — it transmuted my life into gold. If King Midas had a washing machine, this is what he’d pour in.
