You just don't want to overuse them.

I have seen people throwing up to six into their machines.

What?

Yeah.

I do a lot of sort of laundry room edits and I just watch people doing their laundry and it is absolutely amazing because they just believe that there can't possibly be enough because we're overusers.

And pods are great so that you can't overuse as long as you're using one or two per load.

But yeah, people use a lot of detergent.

You know, it's the same with the dishwasher.

They're throwing in two and three pods.

And again, it comes back to more soap must mean more clean.

And it just has the opposite effect.

Yeah.

For your laundry, it's one to two.

And certainly for your dishwasher, it's one.

I think that there was sort of this thing going around that don't use your dishwasher pod in the compartment.

You just throw it in the bottom.

Because a lot of people, I guess, complained over the years that their pod doesn't dissolve or it's stuck in the compartment.

So then somewhere, somebody came up with the idea, just throw it in the bottom of the machine.

And this was huge.

And I did a couple of videos because I couldn't understand why people were doing this.
