Re: too much soap in washer = more money?
I have found that if I use 1/8 of a cup of detergent for a small load of laundry plus a 1/4 to 1/2 cup of baking soda (we have hard water) that that will clean my clothes just as well as using what they say to use on the box. Plus I have found (my accident and courosity) that if I used more and did the same load again and not put anymore laundry deterent in that my clothes still had deterent in them enough for a couple of loads. Now medium to large loads I use 1/4 cup of detergent and 1/2 of baking soda and that will wash my clothes well too.
I think you really have to play around and see how much detergent you can use and still get your clothes clean without wasting money. I know it takes at least 6 months or more for us to go through a bottle of laundry detergent.
