January is here, and that means it’s time for one of the best-kept secrets of the new year: White Sales! This beloved retail tradition dates back to 1878, when department stores first offered discounts on all-white linens to brighten up homes after the holiday season. Over the years, White Sales have expanded to include bedding, towels, linens, and even laundry appliances, making it the perfect opportunity to refresh your home while saving big.

POWDER VS. LIQUID: WHICH DETERGENT IS BETTER?
Choosing between powder and liquid detergent can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re trying to care for new, high-quality linens. Here’s a breakdown to help you decide:
Powder Detergent
- Pros:
- Typically, more affordable than liquid detergent.
- Highly effective for removing tough stains like dirt and clay, making it a great choice for outdoor or heavy-duty laundry.
- Longer shelf life, which is ideal if you like to stock up during sales.
- Cons:
- Doesn’t always dissolve completely in cold water, potentially leaving residue on clothes or linens.
- Less convenient to measure compared to liquid detergent.
Liquid Detergent
- Pros:
- Dissolves easily in all water temperatures, ensuring a thorough clean without residue.
- Excellent for pre-treating stains directly on fabrics.
- Comes in a variety of scents and formulas tailored to different fabric needs.
- Cons:
- Generally, more expensive than powder detergent.
- Shorter shelf life and bulkier to store.
Which Should You Choose?
The answer depends on your laundry needs:
- If you’re washing heavy-duty items or using hot water, powder detergent might be your best bet.
- For delicate fabrics, cold water washes, or pre-treating stains, liquid detergent could be the way to go.
