We live in an area where water is comparatively cheap. So instead of harsh chemicals like phosphate (which harms the water table and local fisheries), we pre-soak each wash load for about 40 minutes, adding powdered Oxy bleach to the white load, or borax or a capful of Lysol or Simple Green to cut grease if needed, and completely drain off the soak water before refilling and running a wash cycle. Works great.

Advice is greatly appreciated and I will relay.

I’m so tired of laundromat runs over what I think is trivial.

Or you could just throw a hand full of TSP in.
