How to determine how much powder is needed for one wash without a dispenser: the secret of experienced housewives

There is a common belief that using a large amount of laundry detergent in the washing machine helps to wash clothes better. However, do not forget that excessive addition of powder can lead to white marks and stains on the fabric after washing.

This is what the UAportal team talks about.

It is important to know the right amount of detergent to achieve perfect cleanliness without harm to health. If you use too much powder, it can lead to a pungent odor on the fabric and create risks for people with allergies. It can also cause an unpleasant odor inside the washing machine.

Before you start washing, make sure you know the recommended powder dosages on the package and the drum capacity of your machine. While this is important, the weight and level of soiling of your laundry is key.

For lightly soiled laundry, 1 tablespoon of detergent per 1 kg of laundry is sufficient. In the case of heavily soiled clothes, you need to double the amount to 2 tablespoons per 1 kg. This rule applies regardless of the size of the machine drum and depends only on the weight and degree of contamination of the laundry you are washing.
