As the one who does the household laundry, I wanted a way to save money and get our clothes and linens just as clean. So I experimented! Rather than using the recommended amount of laundry detergent to wash our full load of laundry, I sampled by using the amount designated for a small load. To my surprise our clothes came out just as clean. Here I was using 2-4 times the amount when all I needed was the least amount. To someone who washes up to 6 loads of laundry every week, I am able to save more than a hundred dollars a year.
Bonus Tip: The number of loads on a container of laundry detergent is based on "small" loads, not a large load. So, use the small load amount for all loads and your detergent will go much further!
