When you are ready to do your laundry, you can save some money, waste less product and still get your clothes bright and clean by using less detergent in the wash. The cleanliness of your laundry isn’t determined by the amount of soap powder or liquid you use, and a huge quantity of suds doesn’t mean your clothes will be any cleaner.

BrightNest even recommends cutting the suggested amount of detergent in half instead of relying on the measuring cups accompanying your laundry detergent. Using less detergent is more beneficial for your laundry because nearly all detergents are concentrated and are formulated for maximum cleaning power with the least possible amount used. The more detergent you use, the more wear and tear your washer will experience.
