You use laundry pods and beads by placing the beads directly into the washing machine drum before your clothes, and then adding the laundry pod also directly into the drum, on top of the beads, before adding your clothes.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
Step-by-Step Guide to Using Laundry Pods and Beads
-
Prepare Your Washing Machine: Open your washing machine and locate the drum. Make sure it's empty before proceeding.
-
Add Scent Booster Beads: Pour the desired amount of scent booster beads directly into the empty drum of the washing machine. The amount of beads you use depends on the desired level of fragrance and the load size. Refer to the scent booster packaging for guidance.
-
Add Laundry Pod(s): Place the laundry pod(s) directly into the drum of the washing machine, on top of the scent beads if you are using them. Do this before adding any clothes. For a standard-sized load, one pod is usually sufficient. For larger or heavily soiled loads, you might need two pods. Always consult the product packaging for specific instructions.
-
Load Your Clothes: Place your laundry into the washing machine drum, on top of the pod and beads. Be careful not to overload the machine.
-
Start the Wash Cycle: Select your desired wash cycle (e.g., normal, delicate, heavy duty) and water temperature, then start the washing machine. The pod and beads will dissolve during the wash cycle, cleaning and freshening your clothes.
Important Considerations:
- Read the Labels: Always read and follow the instructions on the packaging of both the laundry pods and scent booster beads.
- Dosage: Use the correct amount of laundry pods and beads for the size and soil level of your laundry load.
- Storage: Store laundry pods and beads in a safe place, out of reach of children and pets.
- Dissolving Issues: If you experience issues with the pod not dissolving completely, try using warmer water or ensuring that the washing machine is not overloaded.
- HE Machines: Laundry pods and beads are generally safe to use in both standard and high-efficiency (HE) washing machines.
- Color Safe Bleach: If you are using color-safe bleach, add it according to the product instructions, usually to a dispenser drawer or directly into the wash drum according to package directions. Always check your garment care instructions before using any type of bleach.
By following these steps, you can effectively use laundry pods and beads to achieve clean, fresh, and fragrant laundry results.
