Use the measuring cup or cap
Most flexbag laundry detergents, the liquids as well as the powders, have a measuring cap or cup. The caps of liquid detergent bottles often double-up as measuring cups. To make sure you don’t use more than you should, read the instructions on the packaging, and follow the manufacturer’s guidelines. To save detergent and money, you could experiment with varying amounts of detergent and determine the results. A little less detergent may still work absolutely fine to get your laundry clean.
Use the right detergent for your machine
Using the best possible detergent for your type of washing machine can also make a huge difference. Regular laundry detergents can work very efficiently with traditional washing machines, but they may not be as effective in front-loaders with lower water usage. For machines like these, you would need to use high-efficiency detergents. Knowing which type of detergent to use will save you money as well as add years to the life of your washing machine.
Detergents with dispensing mechanisms
Detergents that have special dispense mechanisms such as pumps are also a great way to ensure you’re using exactly the right amount of detergent. They may be a little more expensive to buy, but you will notice that they last you much longer due to their efficiency when it comes to dosage, saving you money in the long run.
Now that you know all the tricks when it comes to measuring your laundry detergent, you will see that your clothes get cleaner, you save money and your washing machine will perform optimally.
