New Laundry Soap Rip-off

Well I guess it's not really a rip-off...if you actually pay attention to the directions and look at the fill lines in the cap. I bought this new "super concentrated" laundry soap and thought to myself last night that the bottle was seeming to get low really quickly Being the experienced laundress that I am I had not bothered to read the bottle or look at the fill lines. I had just assumed that you fill the cap about 3/4 full and that the cap was smaller than with the old bottles.

Anyhow, it turns out that you really only fill the cap about 1/4 full. I've been wasting a ton of soap! No wonder my laundry was smelling so strongly of Mountain Freshness! I thought they had just added more perfume to the batch! I bet the laundry companies were hoping for people like me to make this mistake. That way you pay more money for less soap and use too much of it!

So if you too are using these new "super concentrated" laundry detergents take a look in the cap if you haven't already!

I guess it pays to read the directions! I've never heard of filling a cap only 1/4 full. We use super concentrated All, but the cap is tiny, and you fill it like half way up. But 1/4? Weird!

Well, at least you were smelling of Mountain Freshness and not something else...better too much soap than too little, right?!
