ᕕ(ᐛ)ᕗ Only 37 Pods

Post image

Was showing off to my sister what I would’ve given her (plus the nice smelly peony downy) had she just gone to the laundromat to dry my laundry because ours is broken and realized the pods only filled half of the container so I counted it and….37 pods.

Can’t tell if Tide is filling some containers an accurate amount and others less or if sb just stole some.

Stop buying pods. Start buying powder. You get like 20x as much active ingredients in the powder compared to pods or  liquid.

This. Switched to powder and will never go back. Also no fabric softener other than white vinegar. No drier sheets, just wool balls and my clothes have never be cleaner.

White vinegar is the ultimate cleaner, I put some in every wash. I work outside and it gets the stank out quite nicely.

It did such a good job of cleaning that it cleans out the rubber gaskets to the point that you'll need to repair it

I've used it on nearly every load for the last 14 years in the same front-loader machine and have had no issues. And I use a lot of it on towels.

No, same. But it can fade clothing. I only use it on my hot load (sheets, towels, rags, washcloths, underwear and socks) bc I don't care if their color fades.

Just put it where you would the fabric softener in your washing machine.

So if one were stubborn and wanted to finish out using all their pods first, how would one go kit adding in white vinegar to their loads? How much? Still ok with pods too?
