How Many Laundry Pods Should You Use?

One Tide Pod may not be enough, Procter & Gamble now says, changing advice at a time when the consumer-products company is struggling with scant growth and few new hit products. WSJ's Paul Ziobro discusses with Tanya Rivero. Photo: Greg Latza for The Wall Street Journal

    I use two pods for a FULL LOAD (10KG). perfectly fine. no stains, bad smell or itch. using many brands including Tide, i found cheaper brands and their version of pods to do EXCELLENT work without shelling the out expensive money. house brands really works great.
