What is Tide's recommended dosage for washing machine use?

Asked 5 months ago
Tide's recommended dosage for washing machine use depends on several factors, including the type of Tide product being used, the size of the load, and the level of soiling on the garments. Generally, for standard top-loading machines, Tide suggests using a full cap for a normal load, which is typically around fifteen pounds. For larger loads, you may want to use a bit more detergent, while smaller, lightly soiled loads may require less. For high-efficiency or front-loading machines, Tide recommends using a smaller dosage, often about two-thirds of a cap, as these machines require less water and detergent for effective cleaning. Always refer to the specific instructions provided on the Tide package itself, as they contain detailed guidance tailored to each product type. Additionally, you may find various tips and guidelines on Tide's official website, including information about water hardness and different washing machine models that can help you optimize your laundry experience.
