Have you ever used two detergent pods at once?

[Septimus Prime]

So, the instructions usually say that, for extra large or extra dirty loads, you can use two (or maybe even three!) pods. But I've never once done that, and honestly I'd be concerned that it wouldn't rinse out properly.

Have you? If so, does it work better?

 

[Lobster Roll]

Yeah not gonna admit to that online and have federal agents show up.

 

[PeakPointMatrix]

With liquid detergent, did you only ever fill a fourth of the cup? Bigger load = more detergent. I'm constantly using 2 or 3 for bigger loads.

 

[Lord Azrael]

Never cross the streams

 

[MrRob]

Yes I routinely put 3 pods in per load because that is what my wife told me to do once. I have no idea about these things but I'm going to assume that's correct.

I've never had an issue with them not dissolving or whatever and my laundry always smells incredible.

Yoouuuuuuu. Lol I was going to post that

[rpm]

I use two when doing a big load, yeah

 

[Sheng Long]

Yes, if it is a large load.

 

[BriGuy]

I've used two cheese packets at once for a cup of instant macaroni.

 

[Mr Swine]

2 for large loads and 1 for small loads

 

[Ninhead]

Are you a cop?

 

[krae_man]

I always use one and it seems to work fine. I don't completely jam the washing machine full though. The machines in my apartment aren't huge.

I remember reading about Alka Seltzer and how they increased sales with the "plop, plop, fizz fizz" ads despite one being totally enough to clean dentures.

I feel like pods are the exact opposite for me. I only ever use one and when I used liquid detergent I'd probably over pour since I'm not looking closely at the line in the cap. That and the scraps at the end of the bottle as I wouldn't always fill it with water and pour it in because I wasn't sure if the scraps were enough for a load.

I do it, it rinses out well, but if you worried you can always set it to second rinse

I tried these things once, they glued pieces of my clothes together. Tide sent me coupons for more Tide pods in compensation.

No mere mortal should wield that much power.

Delete this now before they see it

Using 2+ pods is a scam from BIG DETERGENT to make you run out/need to restock more often

 

[SCUMMbag]

I never even considered putting more than one pod in.

This changes everything.

that's why they make lines going from 1-5 on the cap of liquid detergent instead of just 1-3

we cracked it

 

[davepoobond]

I only ever use one. Maybe I should be using more?

but it's not like I'm rolling around in dirt. I use my clothes one time before putting it into the wash

 

[Gwenpoolshark]

This is utter bourgeois decadence.

 

[JohnHornbuckle]

Yeah with big loads like a bunch of towels or bedding. Never had an issue.

 

[Geist 6one7]

That's a lot of micro plastics.

 

[Nappuccino]

You can use the pre-wash and the wash spots for a better wash.

Who knew.

 

[jwhit28]

Yes. I also use 2 pods for dish washing.

 

[gaugebozo]

Yeah, but I always split with the washer. One for you, one for me...

 

[julia crawford]

Depends on the load

[Euphoria]

I don't use them anymore. I have my machine setup to empty into a dry-well rather than connect to the cesspool. That actually enabled me to see what the shit I put in the machine causes that I can't normally see.

Overtime whatever didn't cause buildup in my machine over time eventually caused buildup all inside the dry-well too.

Never realized or particularly would have cared until we were homeowners. Yeah liquid does also eventually cause some buildup too, but dumping a gallon of Cessflo once a year clears that right up for the wonderful price of just $16. :)

This. Just use the extra rinse cycle if you're concerned about it. Otherwise two can be helpful sometimes.

 

[ImpendingFoil]

Every single time.

 

[Walter White Walker]

No. You think I'm Jeff Bezos or something?

 

[ChrisR]

I do.

I also use 4+ dryer sheets

 

[Tobor]

There are people who DONT use two pods for large loads?

You want clean clothes, right?

 

[grang]

We usually do two because we wait until the last minute to do laundry so the loads are huge, but on the occasional small load we do 1 and it's fine.

 

[ThatRebel]

This thread was not what I was expecting. You're talking about two Tide Pods? No problem with that. I thought you meant like, one Tide Pod and one Gain Pod. Now that's some other level.

 

[ned_ballad]

if the load is particularly large, yea

like if I neglect to wash towels for a few days longer than I normally would, I generally use 2

 

[Fat4all]

one Tide pod, one Cascade dishwasher pod, one Starbucks macchiato kcup, and a cap-full of sodastream Dr. Pete

 

[Jakenbakin]

I never even considered it haha fuck.
