Laundry pods,also known as laundry detergent pacs or capsules,offer a convenient way to do laundry without having to measure liquid or powder detergent.
Here's how to use them correctly:
Check the Label:Before using any laundry product,always read the label for specific instructions and any safety precautions.
Handle with Dry Hands:Ensure your hands are dry when you touch a laundry pod.They are designed to dissolve upon contact with water.
Do Not Cut or Tear:Laundry pods are designed to be used whole.Do not cut,tear,or puncture the pods.
Load the Washer:
Top-Loading Washers:Place the pod at the bottom of the drum before adding your clothes.
Front-Loading Washers & High-Efficiency (HE) Washers:Place the pod directly into the drum,again,before loading your clothes.
One Pod for Regular Loads:Typically,one pod is sufficient for a regular load of laundry.If you have a large or heavily soiled load,consider using two pod
Choose the Right Temperature:Use the appropriate water temperature setting for your clothes and the detergent.Most pods work in both cold and hot water.
Close the Package Properly:After taking out a pod,make sure to seal the container or bag.Store the container in a cool,dry place,away from children and pets.
Safety First:
Do not eat or ingest laundry pods; they are harmful if swallowed.
Keep them out of reach of children and pets.They can be attractive to kids due to their colorful and candy-like appearance.
If someone ingests a pod or gets its contents in their eyes,immediately call Poison Control or seek medical attention.
Do Not Use for Pre-Treating:Laundry pods are not designed for pre-treating stains.If you need to pre-treat,use liquid detergent or a stain remover.
Avoid Overloading:Make sure you don't overload your washing machine.This ensures that the pod can dissolve and distribute the detergent evenly.
By using laundry pods correctly,you can ensure your clothes get clean without the mess or potential waste of traditional liquid or powder detergents.
