More Laundry Soap Is Not Always Better

@Margolis, Oxyclean soaking ruined lots of my clothes! Yes it removed or reduced stains but after 6 months or a year I noticed most of my stuff has little holes in it and is falling apart, which they did not over years of washing before. I thought, unlike chlorine bleach, which certainly weakens clothes, the peroxide bleach would not do the same. Well it does, maybe less than chlorine, but IMO find another way to deal with stains.

My dog always pukes on my carpet. He never pukes on tile or wood. I don't know why. Even when he starts to heave I'll move him to the kitchen and he runs back into the living room.

Perhaps more importantly, why do they puke on the bed *while I'm asleep in it?!?*

Thanks, I'll keep your tip in mind.

I've always been tempted to add more detergent for particularly heinous crud on things. I do wash few things in BIG load when that happens which probably also isn't good for the machine. Ack pets.

I'm going to add the smaller load technique to my stain-fighting repertoire!
What I usually do is soak the load overnight and add some kind of oxygenating booster (like Oxyclean) with the detergent. Also, hanging laundry in the sun also sanitizes/deodorizes it.

It's all some kind of animal conspiracy. It's the same with dogs. They pick the middle of the night on whatever spot of carpet hasn't already been thrown up/peed/pooped on to hoark up whatever they weren't supposed to have eaten a few hours ago.
