We’re All Using *Way* Too Much Laundry Detergent!

[tsunamimusic]

Tbh I use laundry detergent like a seasoning. I just pour till my soul says it's enough

[ClaudeDiAngelo]

WHO TF HAS *”STIFF AND CRUNCHY CLOTHES”* AFTER WASHING THEM💀💀💀

[Leoprincess]

I've literally never had "stiff and cruchy" clothes AFTER washing you aren't using enough?!? 🤦🏽‍♀️😩😂😂😂

[lance]

This is only applicable to high efficiency washers that use way less water. Should probably mention that

[IMeanIGuessWhatevs]

Girl I’m going till Harriet says STOP. Don’t tell me nothin!

[emmagavars]

if i used that much (which i have done) they come out smelly...i need more and my clothes come out smelling lovely

[Andre-buju]

If it's a large load of laundry, you need more than that if you really want your laundry to come out clean.

[loveu]

Yeah I agree some people be using way to much. But you have to increase the amount if your clothes size load and if they are really soiled or if you have hard water. Otherwise you end up with stinky or dingy grey clothes.

1. Use a odor remover w/your detergent!
2. Wash your work clothes separate from everyday wear.
3. Spot treat if necessary.

I can tell the difference from when I use oxiclean and When I don’t.

Nah man, I be seasoning the laundry in the detergent like a cast iron skillet

[Cnm]

Imagine washing your husbands dirty work clothes with that much soap 😅😭

[mattstbe]

People don't even use those lines, they use the whole cup, if not the whole bottle per load.

[muclman]

I like for my clothes to actually get clean 😂😂 thanks though

[girlnamedtex]

I tried this and all my laundry started to stink- I think we need the detergent

[ainorey]

To anyone doubting this - take a look at how little detergent is in a laundry detergent pod. You're supposed to use only one of those and it's not much.

It's true that you only need max 2 tablespoons to get your clothes clean, because modern washers use so little water.

If you use too much your clothes are left with residue and ironically won't get as clean as they would with less because rinsing the soap away is a huge part of the laundry cleaning process.

Bruh when we were running out of laundry detergent in a week I found out my boyfriend was using two full caps and I cannot cope 😭

[Nottodaygoddamnit]

Source: trust me don’t thoroughly wash your clothes if you want to wash them

[Dunkinbringhamback]

I hate that there's a whole side of TikTok that tries to gaslight me into using less laundry detergent 😂

[fernan]

Just know that the amount of suds, doesnt mean you are cleaning better, modern detergent are made to produce less suds, fun fact they are a lot lore concentrated than the detergents you bought back in the 2000s

[saramations]

Incase anyone forgot, 2 tablespoons is 1/8 of a cup since there is 16 tablespoons in a cup. If you're use 4 tbsp of detergent, you're using 1/4 of a cup...etc etc.
