Moderation is vital for many aspects in life, from eating to spending money. The same can be said for your laundry. Too much water can flood the machine and too many clothes can overload a dryer.

Don’t worry, Soapbox Laundry is here to offer some helpful tips on using the proper amount of detergent.Let’s take a look at a few things to keep in mind when adding detergent to your laundry load:
