For using Tide PODS in laundry, the number of pods per load depends mainly on the size of the load:
- For small or smaller loads, use one Tide POD.
- For standard or medium loads, use two Tide PODS.
- For larger or extra-large loads, use three Tide PODS.
Tide recommends placing the pods directly into the washing machine drum before adding clothes, not in the detergent dispenser drawer, to ensure proper dissolving and cleaning performance
. If you frequently wash very large loads, Tide POWER PODS are suggested as they contain more detergent per pod and can handle bigger or heavily soiled laundry better, sometimes requiring two pods for heavily soiled loads
. In summary:
Load Size| Number of Tide PODS to Use
---|---
Small load| 1 pod
Standard load| 2 pods
Large/Extra-large load| 3 pods (or consider Tide POWER PODS)
Using more pods than recommended may lead to issues like insufficient rinsing or over-sudsing, so it's best to follow these guidelines for optimal results
. Always check the packaging instructions for your specific Tide PODS product, as formulations and recommendations can vary slightly
