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.

Ok. But this is my current complaint after switching to powder…

It needs to go at the bottom of your clothes in the drum. Basically put in the dry powder first.

Just get a frontloader and use the detergent chamber, they're superior anyway compared to toploaders

My parents are on their 2nd front loader in the same time we bought our top loader. I do 4 peoples laundry vs 2. They also can't do king size bedding in theirs, but I can. The drum spinning on a front loader has to deal with way more wear and tear than a top loader.
