 How much laundry detergent should I use for a normal load?

How much detergent you should use for a typical load of laundry depends on a number of things, like the size of the load, how dirty or stained the clothes are, and what kind of detergent you are using.

As a general rule, for a normal-sized load of laundry, you can use between 1/4 and 1/2 cup of detergent. But you should always read the instructions on the detergent package to find out exactly how much detergent you should use.

If your clothes are very dirty, you may need to use a bit more detergent to make sure they come out clean. On the other hand, you might be able to use less detergent if you have a smaller load or if your clothes aren't very dirty.

It's also important to remember that using too much detergent can actually hurt your clothes and your washing machine. So, rather than using too much detergent, it's best to use the right amount or a little less.
