If you’ve ever wondered how to use powder laundry detergent the right way, you’re not alone. With more households making the switch to powdered options like Dr Suds, understanding how to maximize its cleaning power is key.
Whether you're washing everyday clothes or delicate fabrics, following a few simple steps can make a big difference in the outcome.
Measure The Right Amount Based On Load Size
The first step to getting clean, fresh laundry is using the right amount of detergent.
For a regular-sized load, use just a scoop of powder, which is about one tablespoon. For larger or heavily soiled loads, two scoops are plenty.
Measuring correctly not only helps reduce waste but also ensures there’s no leftover residue on your clothes. With each 4-lb bag covering over 100 loads, you’ll find that it’s both cost-effective and long-lasting.
And if you’re stocking up, the 40-lb bucket is perfect for homes or small businesses that want to keep laundry essentials on hand.
Add It Properly To Your Washing Machine
Even distribution is important when using powdered detergent.
If you're using a top-loading washer, add Dr Suds directly into the drum before loading your clothes. This gives the powder a chance to dissolve evenly in the water.
For front-loading machines, use the powder compartment in your detergent drawer. Avoid tossing the powder straight into the clothes as this can lead to clumping or uneven cleaning.
If possible, add an extra rinse to your wash cycle.
Enjoy Powerful Yet Gentle Cleaning
Dr Suds is crafted with sensitive skin in mind.
It’s a gentle powder laundry detergent made without harsh chemicals, dyes, or artificial fragrances. Instead, it’s offered in unscented (Dr Suds Natural Laundry Powder Unscented) or naturally scented versions (Dr Suds Natural Laundry Powder Lavender and Dr Suds Natural Laundry Powder Eucalyptus Peppermint) made with pure essential oils—no synthetic scents in sight.
Whether you choose lavender or eucalyptus or stick with unscented, you’ll enjoy fresh-smelling laundry without any added irritants. This makes it ideal for baby clothes, towels, undergarments, and anyone in your home who prefers skin-friendly cleaning solutions.
