It might seem okay to use extra detergent for larger loads of laundry but
we do not recommend it. Using extra detergent can actually lead to more
wear and tear because your washer will need to work extra hard to get
rid of the extra suds. As such, it’s always safer to use the recommended
amount per the detergent brand’s directions. If you have a larger
load, splitting it up between multiple loads achieves a couple of things
- it’ll help you resist the urge to use extra detergent and helps
your washer avoid extra strain. Ultimately, following these recommendations
will help your washing machine last!
