I am a wary old woman and I think they keep inventing ways of making us pay enormous amounts of money for something that used to be reasonably priced . I compare that to the horrific price of these little capsules of coffee ...So I've never stopped using powder from a really big bag , I use 2 very small scoops for a 15 pounds front loader . When I wash sweaters I use liquid .And I don't trust that those things dissolve correctly . Old French woman in France .

READ THE FULL ARTICLE ON LAUNDRY PACKS: cleanmyspace.com/laundry-packs-101/

I have been watching you for the last 7 to 8 years and you have taught me a lot. I believe my first search was how to organically clean make-up brushes which brought you to me and my families life. I was trying to teach my teenager daughters how to clean their make-up brushes at that point and I had three brush trees that I had just bought because they had so many brushes and ended up buying a fourth one. Now, it is six tall brush drying trees and lots of make-up brushes that all 3 of us have and I learned to make sure that on Friday Evening that the old towels come out, the trees go up and all the brushes get done. Each one of us has 4 sets of brushes and when three are dirty then three get a bath and hung to dry and then left until they are dry. By Saturday Early Afternoon all the brushes are dry for the most part and they go into baskets and set outside if it is warm outside and towels laid over them (the baskets have holes in them) and they are dry fully by Saturday Evening and I put them all away. Thank you for also teaching us how to disinfect our make-up too. We do that nightly as well.

We recently purchased a new washing machine. I converted to the pods. I LOVE THEM!!!! My daughter convinced me that these would prevent us from using too much detergent. She was right! My clothes look cleaner and brighter. They are WELL WORTH THE MONEY!! By using one small pod per load, I’ve really saved money. I will definitely continue using these. I also think they will keep my machine cleaner. Great video!

Hey, I'm sticking to using powder detergent! It has so many advantages: Less packaging and weight because there's no water in there - better for the environment! More precise dosing because you can adjust the dosing to your needs (have a look at the packaging) instead of having to choose between one or two pods, which often leads to overdosing. You don't have the problematic "skin" foil at all. Even if it is biodegradable, it's still harmful to the environment to produce it! Plus, in powder, the different chemicals can be mixed together because they're dry and only react in the laundry machine when they get into contact with the water. In pods, all the three chemicals are the same, just with different coloring (that's just marketing!). Also, at least here in Europe, the powder detergent (esp. the "compact powder") costs less per load. The pods are all about marketing and selling stuff to customers who don't really need them!

Very rarely it happens that they don't dissolve in winter cold water, and that's just a single brand that has done that so far, so i'm not fussed.

Tide Powder. After cloth diapering, I’ve learned powder is best. It rinses cleaner, and has less buildup.

I love using my laundry pods, that’s all I’ll use in my washing machine and dishwasher, no more measuring out laundry detergent and the right amount of dosage, they’re clean and no mess. Plus a bonus, you know how many washes you get when purchasing them.

I only used the pods in college, but I do not use them now because they're so expensive compared to regular detergent, and I don't have a lot of money. Also, the chambers dissolve at the same rate in the washer and I don't think it actually matters that they're separated.

@nikolaigogol8693

It could matter if they are different ingredients, like enzymes and bleach. They cancel each other used in liquid form together. So keeping them separated makes sense. You do need them to do different things in washing. Enzymes break down stains of different kind(protease break protein stains, lipase breaks down greasy stains etc). Bleach whitens the clothes and has a disinfectant properties. They can cohabitate during the wash process but they do eventually cancel each other out. The smartest thing would be to use enzymes at the beginning of the wash with detergent and to add later the bleach to complete the cycle. Miele has something like this in their Twindos.

My Whirlpool front-loading HE washer weighs each load and draws from a detergent reservoir. No packets. No load dosing by me. I occasionally use vinegar as a fabric softener. My machine reminds me monthly to clean it, which I do occasionally (but not monthly). The great thing about cleaning the washer is that I can remove the reservoir and the conventional dispensers for thorough cleaning in a laundry tub.

Trying a pack for the first time today for my bedding!!!

We use a combination.. I live with my parents. -My mom prefers POWDER for hots and heavy-duty for the abraison. -We used to use LIQUIDS for everything else and then tried the SHEETS for a bit... mixed feelings. Don't know if we will stick with it. -Now, we started using PODS! I gotta say I'm liking it a lot so far and I think it does work better 😍 my mom is hesitant to agree since it was my idea 😉 -I still use free and clear LIQUID for my underwear and silk pillowcases. 2 separate & small loads so it's easier to dose a small amount of liquid. I wish they made mini-pods lol

I think they're putting something special in those laundry packs and pods. . With all the TV commercials showing people stuffing their clothing into their faces, and dancing around their washing machines, like the smell of fresh fabric was some type of intoxicant, we've lost our appreciation for soil. For example, try growing a decent potato in a mound of laundry detergent!!!. Thank you Clean My Space for allowing me to share. !!!!

When I was living in dorms in college I used to use the pods. They were convenient. Our school’s washing machine rinses each load with lots of water, so I never saw any plastic issues with the pods.

I will be using the laundry pods for the first time next wash day. Thank you so much for all your great videos. ❤

I use pods (Tide 4 in 1 Downy) and I love it!

When I first moved to France in 2017, I used laundry packs. I didn’t have a washer in my apartment so I had to use a laundromat. When we bought a house in 2020, it had a washer. Home washers here are traditionally smaller and I found the packs did not dissolve as well as they did in the large laundromat washers. Often I had the pack reside on my clothing. I now use liquid and am happy. I love packs-my son used them while at university and I find them super convenient-they just don’t work for me now.

Pods and liquid are my go to.....

Good job and very helpful thank you so much for making this video ☺️

Excellent video, thanks so much for your insights. I too am a believer in consumer reports and have stuck with liquid detergent and occasionally liquid fabric softener. The pods seem to work OK for most clothes but my work togs need a little extra energy and the liquid seems to provide that. Also my white undershirts benefit from a splash of bleach every third wash or so. Thanks!

I use whatever is the best value per load. I have found that the powder performs the best IMO. Using the correct amount is key. The packs are good but I can't add 1.5 packs and per load I find packs are usually more. Also no spot treatment. I do LOVE pods for the cleanliness because yes there is always powder or liquid mess. Toss the pods in the back of the washer if using a frontloader because it can get trapped in the door and leave the casing.

I am a die hard fan of the Tide Spring Meadow laundry packs (which are similar to the green and blue you have in the video). However, these are not easily available in my country and we can buy them through Amazon only, but they are extremely expensive. My parents had been to the USA prior to the pandemic and whilst returning they got these laundry packs from there. I used them alternately to the liquid I use (once the packs, next time the liquid), and believe me, whenever we did our laundry using these laundry packs, my clothes came out super clean, fresh and smelt great. I plan to use these in future as well because they give the best results , however, like I mentioned before these are super expensive, so until they are easily available in our markets/stores, I will alternately use my liquid.....

I have been using pods for almost 10 years now, I recently switched to powder simply in an effort to minimize plastic waste. Powder is the only form that comes in a cardboard box. I also have something called an ecoegg which is supposed to be good for 70 washes and less toxic for water sources, unfortunately I found it didn't wash my laundry too well, but is okay for small loads that aren't very soiled.

I always used powder (I think it costs less than liquid), but started buying pods for my job which requires lots of air travel. I didn't like the uncertainty of a liquid or powder spilling in my luggage. I started using them at home too and never had a problem with them not dissolving completely (I use Arm and Hammer.) Recently, my apartment installed He washers and I decided to get powder for home again so I can use less. I still travel with the pods. BTW, I tried Cascade platinum dishwashing pods for the same reason (some hotels have dishwashers), and when I used them at home, my dishwasher consistently overflowed with suds and got the floor very wet. I went back to powder there too.

I am using all three. Powder liquid .. and pacs. I also use baking soda and scented crystals . I use bleach on bedding and towels and pet throws and beds. Oh yea. And also I use lavender Lysol on runners in the machine. Love your channel by the way. 🌈🌈🌈💕💕💕

If you think about the environmental impact, also think about how the liquid in them contains water and that causes more CO2 when transported than powder. Also they are less "compact" in the packaging - you need more packaging for the same amount of detergent. And the foil of the pods does not only have to be biodegraded but also needs to be produced like any other plastic foil, which takes a lot of energy. If you only need a little detergent, you would still waste a whole pod - again harmful for the environment. With normal liquid, you can customize the dosis more precisely, that's right! Because of the water used in it, when it comes to the environment, (compact) powder detergent is best, followed by normal liquid. The pods are still worst for the environment - and your wallet ;)

I've been using strips for years now and haven't regretted it yet, best decision ever! Easy to dose, probably the most sustainable solution due to it just being laundry powder strips that come in a slim cardboard envelope, which is the other thing that they take no space to store whatsoever compared to most other laundry products. Highly recommend!

Nellie’s is kind to our earth and very concentrated so 1.5 teaspoons of detergent and 1.5 teaspoons of oxygen bleach is all I use per load.

For years I used powdered detergent but it was messy and we have hard water so many times the detergent didn’t fully dissolve. I switched to liquid laundry detergent and that solved the problem but can be messy. Especially if you buy those large dispensers with a spigot and cup. I tried pods a few years ago, while convenient they are pricey and can be wasteful if you have a small load. Also most of the directions tell you to use two pods for large and extra dirty loads. I went back to liquid but buy in jugs on sale. I can easily adjust the soap slightly if needed. On average I spend about 9.4 cents a load with liquid vs. 22 cents a load for pods.

Also, as Technology Connections points out, the pods prevent you from being able to take advantage of pre-wash and regular wash cycles. They dissolve pretty much at once and then it's gone.

I use liquid. I have used pods before but didn't think the little pack was enough. I may give them another try but will keep the liquid on hand for pre-washing stains.

I use the TruEarth detergent sheets. They are by far my favourite laundry detergent.

Thanks from London. Im trying for the first time with only one Pod. Let see what happens!

As a truck driver I do my own laundry most of the time. I use the pods mostly. My wife buys hers/ours at buff city. It's a powder that smells great and you use very little. Buff city also sells dryer balls. I know this because my wife uses them. And they have a very clean smell

I tried the laundry pods I love ke them

Hi from the UK. I use liquid because per wash, the pods are very expensive even more so with the spiralling cost of living. I dispense my liquid into a small ball which sits on top of the laundry. Thanks for such informative vlogs.

According to tests performed by consumer reports, even high end brands of laundry pods were out performed by liquid detergent as far as how well they actually clean. I personally used pods for years before switching back to liquid because I noticed that no matter how I used the pods(warm/cool water, number of pods, size of load) my clothes never came out clean and over time developed a funky smell. But it is my personal opinion that correct measurements of liquid detergent works better than pods.

I am not sold on them. There’s still a lot of research out there that says they are not eco friendly. While there’s data that says they can be broken down, certain conditions have to be met in order for that to truly happen, and most water waste treatment plants in the US are not equipped to actually break down the materials that are damaging to the environment. It’s the same case as compostable plastics. Yes, they’re technically compostable, but it requires a special composting process that is practically nonexistent as of now. Any company can market themselves as eco friendly based on the fact that it’s possible. Doesn’t mean it is, yet. Additionally, I don’t personally think dyes and unnatural fragrances are beneficial and most pacs have them. For now, I will continue to use detergents that I feel better until more research from more sources comes out.

I’ve been using Dropps since before covid. Had an accidental double order right before the shutdown so no problem there. I’m careful not to overload my front loader so the only time I’ve had an issue with them not dissolving is on the high wind chill days (I live in an older mobile home) so I don’t do laundry in “bad” weather. I do have a backup of liquid for the very occasional small load. I rinse with vinegar and have dryer sheets for the occasional load that needs a little help. Also, I’m trying Canadian based detergent strips next month when I’m out of Dropps

I started using a few months ago the packs because my boys were using to much liquid detergent. So now I’m saving money

I use the Blueland laundry tablets now, and I find them quite good. Low suds, no scent, and I can break the tablets up if needed. I switched from detergent packs mostly due to issues getting the unscented packs in my area.

I used to use only pods, but now I use them for my regular laundry as they contain fabric softener. So for my towels and sheets I use liquid detergent and use vinegar as a fabric softener. I use baking soda / vinegar/ liquid detergent for my whites. Definitely read the instructions on your detergent / washer / clothes as I was shocked on the actual amount actually needed. Thank you for telling the world to leave the pods in their container. I hate this decanting everything trend

@@LoveIsInTheHouse I only found out about a year ago that fabric softener ruins your towels for absorption. I stopped using hot water for the washer and high heat in dryer . Who knew ????

@@Lashlove16 wait why don’t you use hot water or high heat for towels? I’d like to read up on that myself if you remember where you heard that or found that out..

@@LoveIsInTheHouse if you read the instructions on your towels most will say warm water and medium or normal heat ( I only checked this recently when I saw a post on Instagram from a professional cleaning company say it ) I guess it’s too harsh and deteriorates the fabric faster ? I know microfiber high heat on the dryer will destroy the fabric from absorbing so much .

A very interesting video. Thank you! I will continue to use a liquid biodegradable detergent, and rinse with some vinegar.

I use Tide Pods but have used them as a booster in order to mix in the detergent that is already used if it doesn’t clean my clothes well enough

I agree

Have been using them for years . No problems better than powder that stays all over your clothes. We hang out the wash here in Australia so that's better than shoving everything in the dryer.

Thank u for the great info on laundry 🧺 pods. Is it possible for you to make video on washer/dryer machine. I’m in market to buy new ones but there are so many to pick from. 🤔

I love them!👍

I'm glad you love them, I do too! Best buds!

There's a repair tech on you tube who's against using pods for front load machines. He says to only use them if a front load has a compartment for them. Otherwise use them only in top load machines.

I am a fan of your cleaning advise. Now I would like to know what brand your washer and dryer is😊.

Love those pods. Love you too. Great channel but always catch it on KZread

I bought pods while traveling once, thinking it would be easier. I ended up with ruined clothes when the pods did not dissolve correctly and got stuck the clothes. I make my own liquid and powder detergents. It’s WAY cheaper, and it works well. I use powder for cloth diapers and liquid for everything else.

cleanmyspace I love your videos! I have a dumb question. Are laumdry packs and pods the same thing?
