Using Single Dose Laundry Packets in a Washer

Using Single Dose Laundry Packets in my Whirlpool Washer

Single dose laundry packets
 

Examples of Single Dose Laundry Packets:

  • Proctor & Gamble Tide® Pods™
  • ARM & HAMMER® Toss 'N Done™ Power Paks
  • all® mighty pacs™
  • Purex® UltraPacks™
  • Cot'n Wash dropps® laundry detergent and dropps® fabric softener pacs

Benefits:

Single Dose Laundry Packets are:

  • A low-sudsing HE detergent
  • Deliver great cleaning
  • Can prevent detergent overdose / oversudsing
  • Are an easy, quick-to-use detergent

How to Use the Packets:

  • Follow all Manufacturer's instructions listed on the packaging
  • Place packets in the drum or basket of ALL washers BEFORE adding clothes
  • DO NOT place in corner dispensers or drawer dispensers
  • Use only one packet for most loads
  • Do not cut, tear, or open packets; they are designed to dissolve in water
  • Handle packets with dry hands (any moisture will cause the packets to start dissolving)
  • Seal the bag or box completely after use
  • Keep out of reach of children

Concerns if not used as directed:

  • Packets may not dissolve if placed in the washer dispenser
  • If packets are placed in dispensers of either HE top-load or HE front-loads, the dispensers may clog and cause an overflow.
  • Packet coating may not dissolve in a gentle or a hand-wash cycle; Stronger agitation is needed.
  • Packets can get caught in the bellows in HE front-loads if not put in the back of the drum and may not dissolve properly.
  • If the packet does not dissolve completely and clothes are dried in a dryer, residue not rinsed out of fabrics may cause permanent staining.
