Unlocking the Power of Soap for Laundry

This workshop will cover essential laundry techniques tailored to the summer season, including how to deal with sweat, odors, stains from food spills, and mud. Attendees will learn how to properly read laundry labels, recognize the different types of stains, and choose the best practices for each.

In addition, participants will gain insights into common laundry issues, such as mold in washing machines and soap residue. Mogi will explain the differences between soap and synthetic detergents, addressing why doing laundry with natural soap is often the superior choice.
