The reason for using different amounts of liquid laundry detergent for different people is primarily based on the size of the load, the level of soil or stains in the clothes, the type of washing machine being used, and personal preferences.
Load Size: Larger laundry loads require more detergent to effectively clean all the clothes. If you use too little detergent for a large load, it might not be enough to cover all the fabric adequately.
Level of Soil/Stains: If the clothes are heavily soiled or stained, you may need to use a bit more detergent to ensure proper cleaning.
Type of Washing Machine: Different types of washing machines (top-load, front-load, high-efficiency, etc.) have varying capacities and levels of water usage. Some machines may require more detergent to achieve the desired results.
Personal Preferences: Some people might prefer to use more detergent if they like their clothes to have a strong fragrance or feel extra clean, while others might use less to be more environmentally conscious or due to sensitivity to chemicals.
It's important to follow the manufacturer's guidelines and recommendations for the specific detergent you're using. Overusing detergent can lead to issues like excessive soap residue on clothes, causing skin irritation or damaging the washing machine. On the other hand, using too little detergent may result in clothes not being properly cleaned.
If you're uncertain about the correct amount to use, check the detergent packaging or the washing machine's user manual for guidelines. You can also experiment with different amounts to find what works best for your specific needs and washing machine.
