Unfortunately, we have some bad news for you: You’re probably doing your laundry all wrong. “I think you only need about two tablespoons of detergent [for a load], so a bottle of laundry detergent might last you a year because you only need a couple of tablespoons for your clothes to come out clean,” Richardson, the host of HGTV’s “Laundry Guy,” told us. He likened using too much laundry detergent to using too much salt when you’re cooking. If you add a whole lot more, you actually ruin it.”AdvertisementThere’s also a scientific explanation for why using too much detergent can mean you’re actually ending up with less clean clothes. So more detergent means your clothes are actually dirty.”This is why Richardson advises we shouldn’t use detergent pods.
