Laundry pods have become a popular, convenient option for cleaning clothes. This guide explains how to use He Laundry Pods effectively, including dosage, washing machine settings, load types, and safety considerations. Following these steps helps ensure clean results while protecting fabrics and keeping households safe.

He Laundry Pods are compact, pre-measured packets that dissolve in water to release detergent. They are designed for standard laundry loads and come in formulations for different fabrics and soil levels. Proper use minimizes waste and prevents residue on clothing.
- Light loads: Use one pod for small or lightly soiled items.
- Regular loads: Use one pod for standard sized loads with average soil.
- Heavy soils or large loads: You may use two pods if recommended by the product instructions or the detergent's label.
- Fabric type considerations: Use pods formulated for standard mixed fabrics unless your washing instructions specify a specialty pod (e.g., delicates, high-efficiency machines).
- Sort laundry by color and fabric type to avoid color transfer and fabric damage.
- Check care labels for water temperature and washing instructions.
- Empty pockets and close zippers to prevent snagging and damage.
- Do not overfill the drum; leave space for clothes to move.
- Place the pod directly into the drum before adding clothes.
- Add clothes on top of the pod; do not place the pod in the detergent dispenser.
- Close the lid and select the desired cycle and water temperature.
- Use the recommended cycle settings on the machine for the fabric type and soil level.
- Start the cycle and let the pod dissolve during the wash.
- Place the pod in the detergent dispenser compartment or directly into the drum, depending on the machine's guidance and pod type.
- If your machine's manual specifies a detergent drawer, you may use it only if the pod is compatible with dispenser use.
- Add laundry items into the drum, ensuring not to overload.
- Select an appropriate cycle and water temperature.
- Start the cycle and allow the pod to dissolve during the wash.
- Warm or hot water can improve cleaning for heavily soiled laundry, but may cause color fading on some fabrics.
- Cold water is energy-efficient and suitable for most loads; many pods are formulated to work effectively in cold water.
- Delicate fabrics may require gentler cycles and lower temperatures.
- Avoid high-speed spin cycles on delicate or lightweight fabrics to reduce wear.

- Delicate fabrics may benefit from a mesh bag and a gentle cycle.
- For heavily soiled delicates, consider a pre-soak hand wash or a dedicated gentle detergent.
- Always follow garment care labels.
- Keep pods out of reach of children and pets.
- If a pod is ingested, seek medical advice immediately.
- Do not puncture or cut pods; they are designed to dissolve in water.
- Store in a cool, dry place away from moisture to prevent premature dissolution.
- If skin contact occurs, rinse with plenty of water.
- Pod not dissolving completely: Ensure the water is at the recommended temperature and the machine cycle is appropriate for the load. Avoid overloading the drum.
- Residue on clothes after wash: Check the machine's detergent drawer and ensure pods are compatible with your machine. Consider reducing load size or adjusting water temperature.
- Strong fragrance or color bleeding: Switch to a formulation designed for color-fast fabrics and reduce the load size if necessary.
- Keep pods sealed in their original packaging until use.
- Store in a dry place to maintain potency.
- Regularly inspect washing machine seals and hoses for leaks or buildup.
- Clean the detergent dispenser periodically to prevent residue.
- Pods reduce packaging waste due to pre-measured portions.
- Choose pods with environmentally friendly formulations and packaging when possible.
- Use the lowest effective temperature setting to conserve energy.
- Read label instructions on the pod package for dosage guidance and safety information.
- Use the recommended amount for the soil level rather than guessing.
- Avoid mixing different detergent products to prevent chemical reactions and residue.
- Keep a log of laundry loads to optimize detergent usage over time.
