Are we getting ripped off when we do our laundry?

It sounds suspect, but a woman named Taryn posted a video on TikTok and said that she thinks laundry detergent companies are pulling a fast one on customers.

Taryn showed viewers a bottle of fabric softener and said about the number of loads it claims people will get, “They’re not lying to you, but they’re taking advantage of the fact that you make assumptions.”

She then showed viewers that she only fills up the cap with a fraction of the recommended amount instead of filling it up all the way.

Taryn said that using too much fabric softener can actually make your clothes more flammable and can be unsafe.

Good to know!

Check out the video.

Using too much of your laundry products can have negative effects on your laundry. Fabric softener alone will make your clothes more flammable. Using too much fabric softener can make your clothes MORE FLAMMABLE than using the suggested amount. #laundry #laundrytok #laundrydetergent #laundromat #education
