I have started cutting down the measuring scoop for dry detergent and marking a very visible measuring line for liquid detergent, because my husband does a lot of the laundry these days, but he seems to use way too much if given the unaltered devices that come with the detergent.
No doubt the manufacturers count on the fact that some people will fill that scoop or measuring lid pretty much to the top or to which ever line looks prominent on them, regardless of need or written directions. The last detergent we bought is a liquid and the measuring guide marks are a bit difficult to see. Other decorative lines show up quite well and one could mistake them for being the fill lines.
