If you are filling the cap or scoop, yes, you probably are using too much laundry detergent. I was just as guilty as the next person, for years I was loyal to my favorite commercial laundry detergent and always filled the cap to the top. At times, I would remember to use a smaller amount; but after a wash or two, I returned to my old ways. Using too much detergent was killing my clothes and my machine. Recently, an article in the New York Times reports the over usage of detergents, by stating "most people use 10 to 15 times the amount of soap they need, and they’re pouring money down the drain." See the article.
With SimpleSuds laundry soap, you only use 1 tablespoon for HE or 2 tablespoons for a regular machine. It is easy to measure, just grab a measuring spoon from your kitchen. By using the correct amount, you ultimately save our waterways, reduce irritations, breathe easier, and save a little cash.
