Are you guilty of being a laundry over-doser? If so, you’re not alone. A recent survey* found that one in four adults say they use more than the recommended dose of detergent because it makes their laundry cleaner. In addition, one third of adults guess how much laundry detergent to use and one in four say they always fill the scoop/cap to the top, regardless of the dosage instructions. Furthermore, consumers are slow to change their laundry habits, with 60 percent of adults having learned how to do laundry from their mothers and forty percent of adults having never changed their laundry habits because they've never seen a reason to.
P&G wants to help you by providing some basic laundry 101 tips and help the environment by introducing a breakthrough in sustainable innovation that helps you become more future friendly – full conversion to compacted powder laundry detergents across the following brands: Tide, Gain, Cheer and Dreft.
P&G’s compacted powder laundry detergents have been designed to reduce waste, save energy and save water without a trade-off in value or performance. In fact, some have improved – Tide traditional top-loader formulas have enhanced stain removal, while Gain formulas deliver a joyful scent experience and more freshness with added perfume microcapsule technology. With these detergents, one can enjoy the same number of loads per carton while achieving great performance in fabric care and creating a positive impact on the environment.
Laundry 101
Proper Dosing: With the new compacted powder laundry detergents, use 1/3 less detergent than previous non-compacted versions. This lower amount is reflected in a new scoop size in the compacted detergent boxes, as well as within the usage instructions included on the package.
Sort This Way: Sort oranges with reds, purples, and bright blues; navies with blacks; and creams with tans.
Got a stain?: Find quick, step-by-step cleaning instructions from the experts at Tide and the laundry rooms of people like you at www.laundry.com.
Liquid Softener Know-How: To help prevent staining, avoid pouring liquid softener directly on fabrics, as it’s usually direct contact that causes spotting or staining. Instead, use the automatic dispenser in your washer. If you don’t have one, simply add your fabric softener to the rinse cycle.
Don’t Over Dry-It: Avoid overdrying. Too much heat can set wrinkles, shrink certain cottons and wear out dark-colored fabrics.
