So, I finally used up the last of my super on sale bargain finding laundry detergent stash (which took me a couple years to get through - but it was a deal!) and when I went to the store to get some new, it looks like all the brands and formulas have changed. My super deal was liquid and I've grown very attached to the ease of use of pouring in the right amount for big or little loads. There are many more liquid kinds to choose from, but the most common stuff seemed to be concentrated liquid laundry detergent. It claims to be 2x concentrated and use barely an ounce for a load of wash.
Maybe I too caviler about laundry, but I don't want to have to make a precise measurement of detergent for every load. At this concentration any sloppy overage or underage is going to make a big difference in getting too little detergent (dirty clothes) or too much (wasteful) pretty much all the time. Does anyone using this stuff have this problem?
I'm thinking maybe I'll just buy a jug of this stuff, decant it into two of my old empty detergent bottles, dilute to the old strength I'm used to, and ignore the whole problem until the next time I run out. Maybe they will sell 4x concentrated by then with a little eyedropper for measuring it. Anybody tried "unconcentrating" this stuff back to normal and see if it still works to clean clothes?
