Sometimes laundry pods are given as free gifts with a new washing machine. That’s how we first started using them. After 6-12 months, we noticed that fabrics weakened and more holes appeared in our clothes. Soon, everyone in the family was refreshing their wardrobe more often. Some brands seem to damage laundry faster than others. Once, a wash even left a large hole in one bedsheet.
Prease share what brand :s14:

For delicate fabrics better use laundry net....

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.
I can tell you are a guy. Laundry pods are meant for ladies to use because deter gents.

The traditional wash clothes with a wooden stick by the river is still the safest. Wisdom of the ancient people

Laundry pod dispense more detergent than what you need for full load. Those excessive detergents are stuck in the plastic tub and forms slimy gunk.

End up too much foams/suds are created in the wash cycle.

No wonder the clothes remain stinky.

Try to use high efficient enzymes based detergent from Japan (maximum 2 TEAspoon) per medium load.

with a front load washer with 30 degree Celsius temperature plus 2 hours plus washing time for synthetic fabric. The clothes will be cleaned.

So wear swimming goggles or spectacles when handling laundry pods?

Laundry pods damages your washing machine

I have used 3 in 1 tide pods for the past 10 years.

Just throw one in each time I need to wash. I only keep a small box of powder detergent for ad hoc washes and that lasted me a decade.

i dunno what's so hard to measure 1 cup of powder. water will be added by the washing machine.

ya exactly right? just take the cup, same like rice like that. scoop, pour inside. toss clothes, press wash mode.

3 step process. why complicate your life.
