A question of dosage
Comparing the various brands, the magazine concluded that a cycle with liquid detergent costs around 22 cents. It is necessary to count about double for a product in dose. More practical, washing powder in doses therefore costs a few tens of euros more per year. It is also necessary to interpret these figures with regard to the dosage. Liquid detergent allows you to adapt to the type of laundry, its quantity, the level of soiling and the hardness of the water. The quantity needed must be indicated on the packaging, but 60 Million consumers deplores the absence, in many cases, of a graduated measuring cap.
To save money on laundry, you can do it yourself. Most homemade laundry recipes rely on a mixture of water, Marseille soap and baking soda that is cooked. But beware, if its price is much lower than classic detergent, it is also less efficient, with an efficiency rate of about 40% compared to industrial products. It should therefore be reserved for less soiled laundry, as an alternative to another detergent.
