Default washing clothes

hi all,
i just want to know which one is the best detergent for clothes. this is a very known and common question but i can see some lint coming out of clothes and white clothes are dull after two washes..i think iam making some mistakes in washing..please suggest how to classify the clothes and whether to use any bleach(which brand is best and nominal),to maintain the clothes neatly.
thank you

dear rya,
you can use persil,surf,daz or ariel these are quite good brands and work well for me.always wash your whites and colours seperately and also use the recommended wash for the respective type of clothes like don't mix a jumper with normal clothes.i think it should be fine then.for whites you can use vanish or oxy clean pre wash powders for clean white effect..also don't put them in hottest wash like 90 degrees since the fabric will be destroyed definitely.60 is ideal for whites and 40-50 degrees for normal clothes!!!!hope this information is been of help.
regards
pavi

never put the colored and the white clothes together. also the regular and the special clothes like office wear or the traditional wear etc.

put the white clothes in the washer separately.we tend to put more detergent while washing which is not necessary as here clothes wont get too dirty. minimise the detergent usage

also on the dryer, try to use the permpress or the low option so that the lint problem will be fixed.

let us know if it worked...thanks!!
