Same brand. Same size. Same number of loads on the packaging. Lines 1-2 appear unchanged, 3-4 are slightly higher, but line 5 almost goes to the top of the cup now. After measuring, it’s roughly 5.3oz instead of 4oz on the old one. (Not so?) subtle way they try to get you to use more product when doing a full load of laundry.

No one needs that much detergent, in either cup.

I keep it around 1. I don’t think my washer is big enough for anything requiring more than 2

From the picture, the new cup looks slimmer then the old, volume calculations are a funny thing, I wouldn’t be surprised if they hold the same amount.
Have you tried filling one to the line, and then pouring that into the other? that would certainly be an interesting comparison.

Did you switch from “concentrate” to the normal stuff?

Lol i use ~2 on my largest loads

I bet they switched the water ratio so you have less concentrate and need more overall to do the same?

I have one of those machines that auto dispenses detergent. I have it on low.
Insane how little it uses and how clean the clothes are.
And it doesn’t use any warm water.
The only issue with that is my sweat on my workout clothes. That seems to survive nuclear radiation. So for that I put it on a warm cycle and add a lot of vinegar.

That much detergent is unnecessary & will leave residue on your laundry.

If the volume has changed so it’s more, then this is just sneaky shrinkflation. The amount of detergent you buy on the packet stays the same but likely it’s less concentrated hence you need more detergent per wash as they have watered down the mix to save themselves money.

This might be the most batshit insane post I’ve seen all year. I mean seriously, if you read the back of the laundry detergent bottle it will say “contains 150 loads (as measured below the 1 mark)”. They literally admit you need less than the 1 mark per load on the bottle, and you care about this shit?
