When adding washing powder, most people stick to the "by eye" principle.
Of course, experienced housewives understand perfectly well how much powder needs to be added for a certain number of things in order to achieve a good result, but even here everything is not so simple.
Therefore, it is worth considering a few tips that will help determine the required dosage of washing powder.
The first step to accurately dosing your detergent is to carefully read the instructions that come with your detergent.
Manufacturers usually indicate the recommended amount of powder depending on the load size and the degree of contamination of the laundry.
Many washing powders come with a measuring cube for easy dosing. Use it, filling the cube to the recommended level for your type of washing. It can also be purchased separately in specialized stores.
The type of washing machine you have also affects the amount of detergent you need. High-efficiency washing machines usually require less detergent than older models.
Of course, you need to read the instructions carefully here. And if it doesn't help, you'll have to experiment until you find the perfect ratio.
If the laundry is heavily soiled or stained, you may need to add more detergent. Of course, you should always be rational here. For example, for some stains you should not add more detergent, but use a different product.
It may take a little experimentation at first to determine the optimal amount of detergent for your washing machine and type of laundry.
The type of powder or functionality of the machine may differ. As practice shows, only experiments with concentration help to achieve the desired effect.
It is important to monitor the results of washing. If the laundry remains spotted or has powder residue after washing, then too much powder is used. And if there is no effect, there may be little powder or its quality leaves only questions.
