What Happens When You Use TOO MUCH Laundry Detergent? TKOR's How To Do Laundry Guide {Or Not}

When my Dad was alive, his favorite way to relax was to start a load of clothes just so he could watch it agitate. He apparently had started doing this as a child and would say "washie washie washie" while it was working, but he dropped the washies after he grew up. It remained his easiest way to calm down or relax throughout his entire life. I think the agitation sort of mesmerized him and let him clear his mind.

“We’re two adults being entertained by a washing machine” And now we’re 1.5 million adults being entertained by a washing machine

Being an appliance technician, I can tell you that eventually the detergent and fabric softener will damage the machine. 2 things will happen: 1. The pumps propeller will get damaged 2. Could possibly lead to corrosion of steel components that will lead them to break. Granted this is only if you overuse them. You only need about a tablespoon of detergent and fabric softener.

Fabric softener is designed to leave a film of oil on your clothing which most people perceive as being softener when it is just more slippery.

Adults watching the wash machine. My husband specifically bought me a new washer with a glass top so I could watch the laundry. One of my favorite pass times.

“We’re 2 adults being entertained by a washing machine” Me: ooooh washing machine goes spin spin

dad: “oops i put to much soap” washing machine: Oᐯᗴᖇ ᔕOᗩᑭᗴᗪ Oᐯᗴᖇ ᔕOᗩᑭᗴᗪ Oᐯᗴᖇ ᔕOᗩᑭᗴᗪ

that awkward moment when the machine they choose to purchase and destroy was the same one I purchased to replace my old washer. oh how we live in different worlds

I don't know if anyone has said this yet, but they should fill the washer with 100 Tide pods.

You should try using dish soap in a wash I tried to help when I was a kid and did a load of washing with about half a bottle of fairy and turned our downstairs into a bubble slip and slide great fun but expensive

If the blue towels were new that’s probably what dyed the shirts blue.

Story time: our dishwasher always smells absolutely putrid, so one day before starting it I thought huh, maybe if I squirt in some dish soap in addition to the pod it’ll clear up the stench. I went a little bonkers with the amount of soap. About fifteen minutes later I was still in the kitchen and I noticed it began to leak and ooze out bubbly water. Turned it off opened it up and there was a massive amount of suds, luckily we rinsed everything off and soaked up all soapy water and started it up again and it was fine. So moral of the story kids don’t put extra dish soap in the dishwasher.

Rewash all the clothes with no detergent and see what the water looks like after every load.

Imagine the washing machine blowing up. Now thats content.

The blue dye covers up the yellowing of fabrics due to body soil stains. Also most laundry detergents contain fluorescent dyes to make colors appear brighter (as they convert ultraviolet light to visible light).

Your "basic ideas" are so easy to understand. Loving the simple but fun videos and the science behind them. Subscribed! Keep up the epic work!

The fact that your “used” washer is like 100 times fancier than my everyday washer kinda makes me sad

Everyone: uses the right amount Kevin in home alone:

You would never think a washer person (like me) would exist, but I am one of those people, there's thousands of other people like me who likes washers too. I'm not the only one. But this is more entertaining when your a washer fan!

Me pouring soap: that seems right, yeah whatever starts cycle
