Laundry pods damages your washing machine

how about wear goggles?

Then don’t separate laundry pods…. Just throw them into washing machine and use will do

I think we separate it because we just want to use 1 pod as there are not many clothes.

If u need a Youtube Doctor to give you such basic common sense advice for you to LEARN something so basic, may I suggest that you either unfollow him cos his intended target demography is clearly not you, or you better take stock of your basic common sense.

its as good as saying, "I follow a traffic cop on youtube and his advice is never to use a Handphone when crossing the road.", or "I follow a firefighter on youtube and he says to use a fire extinguisher when you see a fire so you don't need to call 995."

how about wear goggles?

Just be aware when you separate the pods and take whatever precautions you deem suitable.

Never buy laundry pods simply because the detergent company is forcing us to use more than is required.

Every load only needs less than half a capful.

And the amount of microplastics sticking on to your shirt from the pod's packaging.

I use the above for my laundry power.
Dun waste any additional money for some dumb pods.

is using laundry pods really that bad? I thought they're super convenient and rather harmless (other than 'overdosing'). they're no different from liquid detergent but in higher concentration, right?

I have been tempted to use 2x pods sometimes as I feel they're not 'strong' enough, especially when the load is heavier. am using front-loading machine btw, so using lesser water to wash compared to top-loading.

how do pods (or liquid detergent) damage clothes or washing machines more than powder detergent?

have free one given by RC ..... put into a container of water let it soften then poke it open ...... main reason is to not have the transparent skin also go in .... i know it's water soluble plastic ... better go into dustbin than sewage

Clothes damage usually comes from mechanical action of washing machine and heat related damage to the fibres.

Liquid based detergents(including pods) are enzyme based and should be avoided if you are washing silk or wool or cashmere as enzyme will wear out them faster.

Check to see if your detergent contains optical brighteners as these will cause darker clothes to look faded.

Pods are usually formulated for 4KG per pod. So if you are washing a basket worth of clothes, one pod is sufficient. Depending on your washing machine capacity, let’s use a typical 8KG washer. If your dirty clothes when filled up to the almost top of the drum, you need two pods, if your clothes only fill up to half of the drum, you only need one pod.

Pods are not designed for use with quick/speed cycles. Must use your washing machine regular or other heavier cycle.

For washing blankets or heavily soiled clothes then you may want to add two pods to increase the detergent strength.

but why do u need to seperate them?

if u mean 2 pods got stick together, then i guess just put the 2 pods into the washing machine...

anyway, i have not encounter 2 pods stick together so tightly that i need to peel them apart.

I regretted buying it.

I prefer liquid detergent.

I use KA laundry pod. 2 per wash. No damage to my clothes . Smell nice after wash.

 

[archie7]

prefer powder still

I find ka pod to smell too overwhelming. After washing my blanket, even after two days of using washed blanket, the smell of the ka pod still lingers on.

I switched to using this Top Nanox Plant based pods, which is about $0.22 to $0.29 per pod depending on where you buy/promotions. It washes just as good as KA pods, but without the heavy lingering scent.

Stick together yes.

Detergent burst out yes.

Shoot into eyes, no. That sounds plausible but highly unlikely. You need to be holding the pods really close to your face for that to happen.

I have been following this emergency room doctor on facebook to gain more knowledge.

The latest reel I saw was a warning he gave about laundry pods. He said these pods sometimes stick together and when you try to separate them, the pods will burst open and the liquid detergent may shoot right into your eyes. He saw a few cases that ended up in the emergency room.

So folks, be careful when you use laundry pods.

This pod thing is just unnecessary.

I ever kena bleaching liquid go into my eyes. Rinse with tap water fast fast. Heng Bo tai chi.

I have been using laundry pods for 8 years, never encountered laundry pods sticking together before.

That said, if they stick together then just be extra careful when separating them - else just remove the risk by using those sticked together pods, or use another laundry pod that isn't sticked together and wait until laundry load is enough for the sticked together pods. Ezpz no need people to teach.
