The little ways companies try to get you to waste their product — so you buy more — always gets to me.

This laundry detergent’s cap has four measuring lines, so you’d assume #4 is for maximum loads, right? No — #2 is for large loads. There’s no mention of ever needing to fill it to #4. 😵‍💫

@cabel every manufacturer should take miele’s idea, let the machine dose the detergent based on soil levels (and water hardness) Two detergents one for whites only.

While might not be more economical, there is less waste.

@ianmurren @cabel My Whirlpool does this, but you fill it up on the top, and only one type.

@davidcameron @cabel in the EU they sell refillable containers but not in the US.
I don’t mind using one brand, as the “it just works” convenience is there.
