How Many Laundry Pods Should You Use Each Time?

In daily laundry routines, many people encounter a seemingly simple yet often overlooked question — how many laundry pods should you actually use? Too few might not clean thoroughly, while too many can cause excess suds or incomplete rinsing. In fact, mastering the correct dosage not only enhances cleaning performance but also helps protect your clothes and washing machine.

  As a company deeply rooted in the cleaning industry, Foshan Jingliang Daily Chemical Co., Ltd. is committed to providing both consumers and brand clients with efficient and eco-friendly washing solutions. From liquid detergents to laundry pods, Jingliang continually refines its formulas and dosage control technologies, helping users achieve a “clean, convenient, and worry-free” laundry experience.

I. Correct Dosage: Less Is More

  When it comes to laundry pods, less is often better.
  If you are using a high-efficiency (HE) washing machine, it consumes less water during each cycle, so excessive foam is not desirable.

  Small to medium loads: Use 1 pod.

  Large or heavy loads: Use 2 pods.

  Some brands may suggest using 3 pods for extra-large loads, but the Jingliang R&D team reminds users — unless your laundry is heavily soiled, 2 pods are more than enough for most household loads. Overuse not only wastes detergent but may also result in leftover residue or insufficient rinsing.

II. Proper Use: Placement Matters

  Unlike traditional liquid detergents, laundry pods should always be placed directly into the drum, not the detergent drawer.
  This ensures the pod dissolves properly and evenly releases its active ingredients, preventing clogs or incomplete dissolution.

  Jingliang’s pods use high-dissolution-rate PVA water-soluble film, ensuring full dissolution in cold, warm, or hot water without residue. Whether for everyday clothes or baby garments, users can wash with confidence.

Tips for best results:

  Make sure your hands are dry before touching the pod to avoid premature softening.

  Place the pod in the drum first, then add clothes, and start the cycle.

III. Common Issues and Solutions

Too much foam?
  Likely due to using too many pods. Run an empty rinse cycle with a bit of white vinegar to remove excess foam.

Pod didn’t fully dissolve?
  Cold winter water may slow dissolution. Jingliang recommends using a warm water mode to activate the cleaning power faster.

Residue or marks on clothes?
  This usually means the load was too large or the water too cold. Reduce load size and run an extra rinse to remove remaining detergent before drying.

IV. Why More Brands Choose Jingliang

  The essence of a good laundry pod lies not only in its appearance but in the balance between formulation and manufacturing precision.

  Foshan Jingliang Daily Chemical Co., Ltd. has extensive experience in OEM & ODM services, enabling it to customize different types of pods according to client needs:

  With intelligent filling and precise dosing technology, Jingliang ensures each pod contains the exact amount of detergent, truly achieving the goal of “one pod cleans one full load.”

  Moreover, Jingliang’s PVA water-soluble film is non-toxic, fully biodegradable, and compliant with international environmental standards — helping brand clients build a green and sustainable image.
