Use pre-measured detergent pods for consistent dosing

Switch to single-dose detergent pods or packs (such as Tide Pods, Persil Discs, or store-brand equivalents) for automatic, consistent dosing without measuring. Place the pod directly in the drum before adding clothes.

Why It Works

Pods eliminate the most common detergent mistake — overdosing. Each pod contains a precisely measured amount of concentrated detergent, often with built-in stain removers and brighteners. They dissolve completely during the wash cycle and leave no measuring mess.

Tips

• One pod is sufficient for a standard load; use two for extra-large or heavily soiled loads
• Always place pods in the drum, not the dispenser drawer, for complete dissolution
• Store pods in their original container away from children — the concentrated formula is dangerous if ingested
• Cost per load is typically higher than liquid or powder, but convenience and accuracy offset this for many families
