How Many Laundry Detergent Sheets Should I Use?

Using detergent sheets, like CleanScents, is incredibly convenient, but it’s important to know how many sheets to use for each load. Overusing sheets can lead to waste, while underusing may not provide enough cleaning power. Here’s a simple guide to help you calculate the right dosage based on your laundry load size.

Understanding Load Sizes

1. Small to Medium Loads

For small or regular loads (up to half a drum full), using just one CleanScents sheet is enough. These loads usually consist of 4-6 pounds of laundry and include a few regular items like shirts, pants, or linens.

2. Large Loads

If your drum is about three-quarters full or you're handling 7-11 pounds of laundry, two sheets are ideal for tackling the larger load. This ensures that every piece of clothing gets adequately cleaned.

3. Extra-Large Loads

For extra-large loads that nearly fill your machine (about 20 pounds or more), using three sheets will provide sufficient cleaning power without leaving residue. Be cautious not to overstuff the drum, as this can prevent proper washing.

Tips for Optimal Usage

• Measure by eye: If you’re unsure about the weight, a visual guide helps—small loads are manageable with one armful, while extra-large loads require multiple trips.

• Adjust for dirt: Heavily soiled items may require an additional sheet, even in smaller loads.

• Avoid overuse: Using too many detergent sheets can cause excess suds, which are unnecessary for cleaning.
