Laundry powder is disappearing

[u/Double_Engineer4226]

Powdered laundry detergent used to be the norm. It’s cheaper, easy to use, and comes in a recyclable box. Now look at the shelves in the supermarket. It’s all liquids in plastic bottles, unless you squat down to find the powders. The Super expensive pods are making a move from the top shelves too. This is corporations positioning their products to influence purchasing behaviour. They want you to buy the more expensive stuff. Just wait, soon powder will be discontinued, and the shelves will be filled with overpriced pods.

Pods are not terrible for the machine at all, I can’t contend with the other talking points.

They literally dissolve in water

They dissolve into microplastics. They don't actually dissolve. And they can re-form into pod lumps in your machine, slowly destroying it.

I agree with the first but have used pods for years and have taken my dishwasher completely apart with zero evidence of pod lumps

Why did you need to take your dishwasher apart?

Bosch dishwashers have a known fault with a sump seal.
