How Much Laundry Detergent You Should Use
Unless you're unthinkably rich or lucky enough to have someone in your life who handles your household chores, you're probably doing your laundry at least a few times a month. You'd think that would mean you know exactly what to do to ensure you're getting your clothes as clean as possible — and maybe even saving some time, energy and money while you're doing it. Unfortunately, we have some bad news for you: You're probably doing your laundry all wrong. Or, at least, we — Raj Punjabi and Noah Michelson, the co-hosts of HuffPost's 'Am I Doing It Wrong?' podcast — discovered we are when we recently chatted with Patric Richardson, aka The Laundry Evangelist. Not only did Richardson reveal that the only washing machine cycle we ever need to use (and he means ever) is the 'express' cycle and that dryer sheets are our enemy, but he also informed us that we're probably using our laundry detergent wrong too. More specifically: We're using way too much. 'I think you only need about two tablespoons of detergent [for a load], so a bottle of laundry detergent might last you a year because you only need a couple of tablespoons for your clothes to come out clean,' Richardson, the host of HGTV's 'Laundry Guy,' told us. He likened using too much laundry detergent to using too much salt when you're cooking. 'When you're cooking and the recipe says a half tablespoon of salt, and you put it in, it's delicious,' Richardson said. 'But if you're like, 'I love salt,' and you put in a whole cup, it's ruined, it's not better. So that's how to think about detergent: A little bit is really good, because it does what it's supposed to do. If you add a whole lot more, you actually ruin it.' There's also a scientific explanation for why using too much detergent can mean you're actually ending up with less clean clothes. 'The dirt and germs come off the clothes and go into the water,' Richardson, the author of the bestselling 'Laundry Love,' explained. 'They get trapped in the surfactant [compounds in detergent that lift dirt and stains from clothes] and then, when the rinse comes, the surfactant goes down the drain. If you use too much detergent, it can't rinse out, so the surfactant actually resettles back in your clothes, and all of the dirt resettles back into your clothes with it. So more detergent means your clothes are actually dirty.' This is why Richardson advises we shouldn't use detergent pods. 'I don't like pods because I don't like that you can't control the amount,' he said. 'You don't need a pod's worth of detergent [to do a load of laundry].' Richardson also gave us tips for zapping static electricity using aluminum foil, told us how to avoid pit stains using vinegar, and much more.

Life-changing gift helps North Texas kids with disabilities ride bikes for the first time
Two North Texas children received the surprise of a lifetime in Richardson. A gift on wheels that brings more than just joy, but inclusion. It was the kind of moment that could light up anyone's face. Five-year-old Salvador Ventura and 4-year-old Isla Biondi were each given a custom adaptive bicycle, allowing them to experience for the first time the feeling of riding a bike. "Her eyes light up when she gets to do the things that other kids can do," said Isla's father, Richard Biondi. Isla was born with spina bifida, a condition that has made walking an ongoing challenge. "She has no feeling or movement past her ankles," Biondi said. Salvador was born with left-side cerebral palsy, a condition that affects his coordination and mobility. "They told us he wouldn't be able to walk... ever," said Sonia Castillo, Salvador's grandmother. Both children have already made incredible strides at Comprehensive Therapy in Richardson. That's also where their families were introduced to the McLindon Family Foundation, a Louisiana-based nonprofit that's changing lives across the country, including right here in North Texas. "It's the most meaningful thing that I do," said Andrew McLindon, the organization's founder. McLindon launched the nonprofit in 2008 after gifting an adaptive bike to the child of a coworker. Seeing the impact, he made it his mission to do the same for children across the country with mobility challenges. Since then, the foundation has donated hundreds of adaptive bikes, each one tailored to fit the unique needs of the child receiving it. "We have bikes in over 40 states now," McLindon said. "In two to three weeks, they're going to be moving really well on these bikes, we've seen it time and time again." One of those success stories is 12-year-old Journey, who received her bike last year. "It just helps her build strength. The strength she will need for the rest of her life," said her mom, Charressa Kennedy. The bikes given to Salvador and Isla were numbers 700 and 701. Each is provided free of charge to families who apply through the foundation's website. With every new bike given away, McLindon is reminded of why his mission matters. "What we've learned is that these bikes change lives," he said. "Because we've heard that so many times from the families." For Isla and Salvador, it's not just about a new way to ride, it's about a new way to live. A ride toward independence, strength and joy.
