I want to believe … but

I’m not sure my towels actually look or feel cleaner. If the consensus is that they ARE, I will accept that!

I have very hard water and a construction-heavy household, and my whites are all looking questionable. I definitely got the murky water, which is satisfying! In a separate batch spa day cleaned the deodorant stains out of some shirts, but not the big greasy tahini spot. These had a 24 hour soak with Tide Free and Gentle and then a heavy wash with ammonia. Third pic is post-wash. Are my expectations too high, or did I mess up?
