I don’t use them myself but sort of get why people use dishwasher tablets, but laundry pods/tabs make zero sense to me. Not all loads are the same size.
For Dishwasher Tablets. This goes into way more depth than ya need but they skip a whole ass wash cycle - which is why there are 2 places for your soap in your dishwasher.
How so? I guess they are more expensive but I can afford like $2 per pack for the convenience of just throwing them in.
Am I doing it wrong?
Serious question
washing anything that got moldy (like cloth napkins from the kitchen that sat in the hamper) / funky - I use a solid tablet detergent (blue land plastic free) and a baking soda / vinegar. works great.
they react, they don’t equalize, and the results do a fine job of cleaning / removing smells. look, I’m not going to try to convince you your understanding of chemistry is incorrect, but try it before you knock it.
dump a cup of baking soda and a cup of white wine vinegar, wash again, they’ll be fine.

Baking soda can’t melt steel memes
Make sure to wash away your national tragedy with cold water
I see this often. Does this work better than just washing again with tablets? Or even just a water wash?
Washing with tablets?
Brah you shouldn’t be using tide pods regardless. They’re no good for your wallet or the environment.

I’ve been using detergent “sheets” which are easy to cut up and portion depending on load size. No plastics either!

Tide Pods use what is known as PVA plastic as the ‘dissolvable plastic’. PVA exactly what they mean by microplastics and forever chemicals.

Thanks. The brand I use is an eco one that does not use any plastic packaging at all, only cardboard. The pod film is bio-degradable too

Vinegar and baking soda will cancel each other out. I would just use regular white distilled vinegar, don’t need to use the fancy stuff on it.
