Use the pod whole, with dry hands and in the location indicated by the packaging and the washer. The number of units depends on the load and the product; do not cut it to improvise a smaller dose.
Add the single dose
Check whether the pod should go in the drum, its order relative to the clothes, and which cycles are allowed. Do not place it in the dispenser drawer or in an automatic reservoir unless expressly authorized. Leave room for movement according to the program's load limit.
The CPSC and the ACCC warn that moisture can quickly break the wrapper and release concentrated detergent. Keep the original container closed, out of reach of children and anyone who may mistake the pods for food. Do not leave them out on top of the machine.
If a film remains stuck to a garment
- Do not use heat to dry the area or handle the residue as if it were a label that could be peeled off.
- Check the package's recovery instructions for the affected fabric.
- Check the pod placement, the amount of laundry, and compatibility with the cycle and temperature used.
- Run the authorized rinse or rewash without automatically adding another pod.
A stuck wrapper is a specific case: not all white residue comes from it. If the marks are different, see white residue and detergent. If the problem keeps happening in quick cycles, check whether the product and program are compatible.
Deal with wrapper residue by following the pod instructions and the load used, without opening another pod to boost the wash.
