Gelatine washing detergent pods?
I highly recommend bulk liquid soap! We get ours at Costco. No sticking together!
I got this at coscto too. Will get liquid. This is more expensive and sticky
We stopped using liquid, it still makes a mess. Laundry soap sheets are the best. They are dry, not sticky at all. They are cheap, very quick to use, zero mess. Plus there is no plastic involved, they come in a cardboard box.
I have never known about washer sheets! I have a box ordered to try!
Pods suck for so many reasons, one of which you seem to have expierenced here
“Until it dies”
I’m not changing now. I didn’t notice, but now that I did notice, it sounds so much cooler
I hate them as well… I used to get liquid forever, but my wife believes half a bottle per load is the recommended amount. So I switched to these because even though they cost more the hope was to curve how much was used. Well that also failed since she uses 3 to 4 per load. I will be back to single life soon and can’t wait for all the savings on stuff like essentials. Kind of crazy even thinking about all the wasted money.
Powder detergent is good too
Always used powder and always will… most the liquids is animal fats…
I’m glad my situation is not like yours. lol. My wife uses a reasonable amount of detergent as far as what’s normal, but I prefer to use much less. I use about a third of what’s recommended, and I like how that works just fine.
the hope was to curve how much was used.
Not intended as a harsh correction, but in case you were curious, it’s to “curb” how much was used.
my wife believes half a bottle per load is the recommended amount.
Same. What is wrong with them? We’ve discussed it. We’ve read the back of the bottle. Oh, we’ve seen the proper amount. But as soon as she’s on her own . . . *blup blup blup blup*
it can ruin your machine!
For context, I mean my life is actually amazing and this is the worst I need to consciously worry about at this small moment in time hehe
I often think that about myself, or people online bitching about nothing.
“You must have a charmed life if this is the bullshit you’re worried about.”
Somebody on here was whining about a thing, I forget, but it was pathetic. And no, they weren’t being tongue-in-cheek or self-detracting, honestly mad about trivia.
“I’m sure a bombed out Palestinian child would agree that that’s fucking awful.”
BTW, despite the interesting conversations in here, this is the dullest fucking thing I’ve seen posted here in some time. Bravo.
Hehehe. Thank you for the dull compliment.
I frequently do tongue in cheese, but also serious, saying when something bad happens. Working in psych, it surprisingly makes people laugh well.
If I am having a conversation with a patient, and I complain about something, I say “Eh, could be worse though. We could be in Yemen”
They laugh. I laugh. We both cry inside.
I got ya!
I switched from these to Pronounce laundry powder. I realized by adding OxyBoost and my wife adding baking soda we were essentially halfway to better laundry soap already.
But at least they have been saving you that three seconds of measuring every load!
and wasting hundreds of dollars on way too much detergent.
Yeah we did the math on this in my household. Apparently I am a fuck up who cannot properly measure detergent. I don’t like using these things but they save me like two bucks on average per container.
Get laundry sheets instead. Cheaper, not sticky like pods, comes in a cardboard box so no plastic involved.
Laundry sheets? Like fabric softner?
“I’ll rather destroy my clothes and waste money than learn a basic motor skill that any child can master in a couple of afternoons.”
Better than being a little bitch on the internet.
Toss in a few packets of silica to make sure they don’t stick again
I save every one I get, cut it open and pour it in a Mason jar. When I need a big pack, I pour some into a coffee filter, tie it off with a rubber band and microwave hell out of it. Recycled!
For those not in the know, the colored beads indicate water saturation. Nuke 'em till they change color. If you have the super cheap beads with no colored beads, nuke 'em for a minute or three.
Btw, that’s also how the passive (less effective) type of
air drierdehumidifier works.
These things are unbelievably sensitive to moisture. Only handle them with bone-dry hands. If the storage under your sink gets humid, consider moving them to the pantry!
those things have not been fully dissolving in my last few loads, plastic left sticking to my clothes, sometimes melded into the fabric… it’s time to go back to liquid i think
