Depending on your family situation, this tip can easily save between 25 - 75% on your laundry detergent costs.
Your laundry detergent box comes with a convenient scoop, and on the side of the box, recommends the amount you should use per load.
Well, the recommended amounts are generally far more than you actually need to get your clothes clean. In reality, you need 50% or less than the recommended amount.
Think about it. If you work a 'desk job', how dirty do you think your clothes will be at the end of the day? Likely not very dirty at all.
Unless you have kids who tend to get grass stains or roll around in the mud, you should be able to get your clothes clean with about half of what the soap manufacturer recommends.
Next time you do a load, put in half of the recommended amount of laundry detergent. You will likely find that your clothes are every bit as clean as if you used the regular amount.
If you find that your clothes were still perfectly clean, reduce by a bit more. If you found that they weren't cleaned to your expectations, use a bit more. Experiment to find just the right amount.
Personally, I work a desk job and don't get dirty at all. I generally use about 25% of the recommended amount.
