Laundry pods are an easy and efficient way to do laundry, but proper use is important for best results. This article explains why laundry pods should always be placed directly into the washing machine drum, not the detergent compartment, how to dose pods by load size, storage tips, and how to handle common issues like pods not dissolving. Follow these steps to ensure your laundry gets clean, fresh, and free of detergent residue every time you wash.

Laundry detergent pods have revolutionized how many people approach washing clothes, offering a pre-measured, convenient alternative to traditional liquid or powder detergents[2][6]. These pods, also known as packs or liquitabs, contain concentrated detergent, stain remover, and brighteners encased in a water-soluble film[2][6]. However, to get the best results and avoid potential issues, it's crucial to understand where to place the pod in your washing machine[1].
