Home-Ec Hacks: How Much Laundry Soap Do You Really Need?

Laundry Soap - Home Ec Hacks - LORAfiedHow much laundry soap do you really need to get your clothes clean? Chances are, it’s a lot less than you think. Whether you use standard detergent, HE or pods, here’s the amount that gets the job done!

When using standard detergent, forget that line that’s already on the cap. Two tablespoons should be enough to do a regular load – measure it once and mark it with a sharpie!

HE laundry soap is even less – only two teaspoons per average cycle.

And unless it’s an extra large load, only one pod will do it! Remember, they never go in the dispenser, always in the machine. Not sure which temperature? Warm is your best bet.

Home-Ec Hacks: Measuring Cups Explained

Measuring cups - LORAfied Home Ec hacksHave you ever wondered why we have different measuring cups for wet and dry ingredients? Do we really need both? And what can you do in a pinch? The answers on this episode of my new series: Home-Ec Hacks!

While these two hold exactly the same amount, it’s almost impossible to get an accurate dry measurement in the wrong cup. 

But when you use the right one, you get a perfect measurement. The same is true for dry ingredients! Liquid measuring cups will give you an accurate read with no spilling. In a pinch, you can use the dry ingredient measuring cup for liquid, however, never use the wet measuring cup for dry ingredients- it’s just too risky for that recipe!
