Pre Sale Questions
What's the correct way to use the pods?
For optimal results:
Place first - Add pod directly to empty drum before clothes to ensure full dissolution
Load properly - Don't overstuff; leave room for water circulation
Select cycle - Works in all temperatures (40°F-140°F)
Store wisely - Keep remaining pods in original bag with seal closed
Can I use these pods for handwashing delicates?
Absolutely. Here's how:
Fill basin with 2 gallons warm water
Add 1 pod and swirl to dissolve (takes about 30 seconds)
Soak items 15-30 minutes
Rinse thoroughly
For very delicate silks/wool, use half a pod.
How do your pods compare to liquid/powder detergents?
Our pods outperform traditional detergents by:
3x more concentrated cleaning power (80% active ingredients vs. industry average 25-40%)
Precise pre-measured doses prevent overuse (liquid users typically pour 30% more than needed)
No messy spills or clumping (common with powders)
Advanced encapsulation protects ingredients until water activation
Will these remove tough stains like wine or grease?
Yes, our 7-enzyme system specifically targets:
Protein stains: Blood, sweat, dairy
Oil-based stains: Makeup, cooking grease, motor oil
Carbohydrates: Wine, chocolate, grass
For set-in stains, pretreat with a dab of dissolved pod solution (1/4 pod + 1 tbsp water).
Do I need to use fabric softener with these pods?
Not necessary. Our formula contains:
Cationic softeners that reduce static
Natural fabric conditioners (derived from coconut oil)
Anti-wrinkling agents
However, for extra softness, our pH-balanced fabric softener pods can be added.

My pod didn’t fully dissolve. What should I do?
This is rare but can happen if:
The washer was overloaded (reduce load size next time)
The water temperature was too cold (use warm water for better dissolution)
The pod was placed on top of clothes (always add it first)
Solution:
✔ Run an extra rinse cycle to clear any residue.
✔ For front-loaders, wipe the rubber seal to check for trapped pod film.
✔ If residue remains, dissolve 1 cup white vinegar in hot water and rewash.
The scent is too strong/too light. Can I adjust it?
Our pods are designed for balanced fragrance release, but you can customize your experience:
For lighter scent: Use half a pod (cut with clean scissors) or wash in cold water.
For stronger scent: Add 1/4 cup baking soda to the wash for fragrance boost.
Unscented option available? Yes! Try our Free & Clear variant.
My clothes feel stiff after washing. Why?
Possible causes:
Hard water (minerals reduce detergent effectiveness)
Overloading (prevents proper rinsing)
Residue buildup (from previous detergents)
Fix it:
✔ Add 1/2 cup white vinegar to the rinse cycle.
✔ Use fewer clothes per load for better water flow.
✔ Try our Water Softener Boost (sold separately).
Can I use these pods with cloth diapers or workout gear?
Yes! Our pods are ideal for high-efficiency cleaning:
✅ Cloth diapers: Enzymes break down ammonia and organic stains.
✅ Gym clothes: Removes sweat odor without damaging elastic.
✅ Towels/Bedding: No waxy buildup (common with liquid detergents).
Pro Tip: For extra sanitizing, wash with hot water every 3-4 uses.
How do I store opened pods to keep them fresh?
Keep them dry: Humidity can make pods sticky.
Reseal the bag tightly after each use.
Avoid direct sunlight (store in a cupboard, not on the washer).
Use within 6 months for best performance.
