I don’t use them myself but sort of get why people use dishwasher tablets, but laundry pods/tabs make zero sense to me. Not all loads are the same size.
For Dishwasher Tablets. This goes into way more depth than ya need but they skip a whole ass wash cycle - which is why there are 2 places for your soap in your dishwasher.
How so? I guess they are more expensive but I can afford like $2 per pack for the convenience of just throwing them in.
Am I doing it wrong?
Serious question
Brah you shouldn’t be using tide pods regardless. They’re no good for your wallet or the environment.

I’ve been using detergent “sheets” which are easy to cut up and portion depending on load size. No plastics either!
I’ve been using laundry powder in the dishwasher – unscented oxygen-bleach from Aldi, to be specific. Works brilliantly. Well under 5 cents per wash.
Plus a rough mix of 50% ethanol and 50% cleaning ammonia in the rinse aid dispenser.
And a small squeeze of standard dish liquid on the door to help the pre-wash.

Tide Pods use what is known as PVA plastic as the ‘dissolvable plastic’. PVA exactly what they mean by microplastics and forever chemicals.

Thanks. The brand I use is an eco one that does not use any plastic packaging at all, only cardboard. The pod film is bio-degradable too
