If You Use Laundry Detergent Pods, You Might Want To Stop, And This Is Why
Briefly

Using laundry soap specifically made for laundry ensures the cleanest and gentlest option. If unavailable, detergent designed for baby clothes is a suitable alternative; avoid using pods due to dosage control issues. Only two tablespoons of detergent are required for effective cleaning, making a bottle last a long time. Overusing detergent can lead to a negative effect on cleaning, akin to adding too much salt in cooking. The surfactants in detergent lift dirt and stains, serving an essential function in laundry care.
"I'm always going to use laundry soap ... It's soap that's made [specifically] for laundry and then it's grated or ground. It's going to be the cleanest, most gentle [choice]."
"I don't care if [your laundry detergent] comes as powder or liquid, but I don't like pods because I don't like that you can't control the amount. You don't need a pod's worth of detergent."
"A little detergent goes a long way, like salt. When you're cooking and the recipe says a half tablespoon of salt, and you put it in, it's delicious. But if you're like, 'I love salt,' and you put in a whole cup, it's ruined."
"There's a scientific reason for this. Laundry detergent is made up of surfactants, which are compounds that lift dirt and stains from clothes."
