I like to use a hamper to have my dirty clothes all in one place.

I use tide pods. They are capsules with detergent and fabric softener inside. It can be any type of detergent though.

Ideally, you would want everything right side in and not inside out but it doesn't really matter.

Add 1-3 tide pods depending on the load size. 1 for a small load, 2 for a medium load and 3 for a large load.
Set Your Preferred Settings
