Laundry Detergent
Most parents wash clothes in a washing machine, therefore need and use a lot of laundry detergent. Did you know that we use much more detergent then is actually needed? The picture below is the recommended amount to use from the popular brand, "Tide".
Use Half the Amount
We should actually be using HALF the amount of what is pictured above. Companies tend to over recommend measurements so that you will use the product quicker therefore buying the product again faster so they can make more money. Not only will using 50% less laundry detergent clean your clothes just as well, but can prevent skin irritations and save you money.
Parents: Next time you do a load of laundry try using half the measurement as recommended by your brand. I think you will be pleasantly surprised at how well your laundry will still be cleaned and your wallet will surely appreciate it!
