Nice presentation, really quality videos
Hi Anoop, thank you! Glad you found it useful!
Very well explained 👏🏻
Very informative video
Nice very helpful Video...
Hi @Hyder Baba, glad you found it useful! Thanks for dropping a kind note :)
Nice helpful video! Thanks a lot!
Hi Somali! Glad you found it useful!
Came here after replying to you on todays video 😅
I am using the TIDE one. its amazing 👌 👍👍
Yay!
Does the plastic truly disolve and get drained or does it stick to the cloths in anyway? Like microplastics of some sort.
Nice video. Sometimes I prefer using the regular white vinegar instead of the fabric softner (it can be used in machines). I have used both ariel and tide (both from P&G). They work fine and you said is highly convenient. Only thing i have to finish my existing liquid detergent and powder before considering buying another box of pods.
Seriously ma'am white vinegar?. Because it's just a weak acid
@@curiesrisaisuryateja007 yes i am aware that fact too. But for me the fabric softener smell was too overwhelming. If you read my reply, i have said sometimes and not always. I used to use fabric softener till around a year or so. Now it's just liquid detergent and vanish(to prevent color bleeding). Btb using white vinegar doesn't impart a vinegar smell to your clothes. Also it is great for descaling appliances.
@@SreelakshmiPrabhakar mm okay ma'am thank you, yes now day's vendors are coming with different different solutions. They do emit chemical smells, which is not good for our health. It causes allergic reactions. That's why I don't like to wash my clothes every single day. Most of the people are doing this mistake.
Hi Sreelakshmi, Teja! Yes, I use vinegar for cleaning too - both dishwasher and washing machine. It's a great cleaning agent even for countertops or white laminate that I put on my kitchen shelves. Never tried it as a fabric softener.
@@TheGrapevineIndia try it once. You might be surprised by the result. It is very good for removing the musty smell and fungus from clothes, especially bags. On bags you spray either diluted or undiluted vinegar (depending on material of bag) and wipe it with a paper napkin. You will see your bag good as new.
I think a good option compared to auto dosing dispensers like in Bosch series 6 or higher
Thanks for sharing, Oliver!
We use one of three different brands for laundry and we always get a hundred loads out of 18 to $25 per purchase. We haven't found a single pod that can come close to 18 to 25 cents per load. Even Tide calls them self out on their own products saying don't pay for water by pods are cheaper but their pods cost more than their water-based products. It's absolutely absurd that people fall for this. You can get a hundred loads for 21 to $25 out of traditional Tide laundry liquid getting 90 to 100 loads, but their pods cost $0.30 a pod. This makes their commercial completely false😂
Hi sowmya, can you please make a video on good quality cotton quilts, bedsheets,coverlets and comforters.
Hi Sony, sure I can plan for that.
What are uses of laundry sheets??? Is it recommended to shift?
The recommended dosage is too high for laundry detergents. And fabric softeners are actually mildly toxic. The plastic peel solidifies in the pipes as well. Pods are not worth the money.
For dishwashers though, pods are vastly superior to other options. I remove the plastic peel and then throw in the pod. But when I was using pods with liquids this obviously couldn't be done.
Pods should contain adequate detergent for the hardest water in use... Thus for people who have soft water, pods are an overkill...
Environment considerations also discourage the pods...
Ultimately it is marketing that matters...
Yes, Mr Koshie, marketing and convenience :)
Biggest problem with pods is that u can not meter down dose of washing liquids.
They work well for full load....And for smaller loads they r overkill.
I would never use fabric softener in washer. Fabric softner is major cause of fowling of internal parts of washer. A good quality liquid detergent does all by itself.
Thanks for ur helpful videos.
Thanks for sharing :)
How about the plastic used? Is it gonna be collected somewhere? Or does it completely melt?
It is expected to melt, but environmentalists say microplastics are retained in the drain.
Ariel anf tide pods are by p&g, manufactured at same facility in Japan. We just spend more money with ariel, only based on brand value
Hi TDK reddy! Thanks for your sharing experience
👌👌👌👏👏👏
Thank you, Onkar 😀
@@TheGrapevineIndia 🤗
Hlo mam i do have ifb mssid 9014. which is the best detergent liquid for it the companie's (i.e ifb one) or other brands like Tide, Durf Excel, ezee, Ariel etc
Hi, you can use any of those. I have normally used this amzn.to/3vwrrqp
Can you please make a video on liquid vs powder detergent?
Sure will plan for it.
The manufacturers can save a lot by removing the detergent compartment by encouraging consumer to use pods
That's a good point :)
No thank you I don't feel like paying more money for laundry detergent just because in a convenient little plastic pouch. I'm my area of the East Coast there's not a single rrtailer offering pods for a lesser price than a comparable liquid.
It is better to use environment friendly options than these harmful chemicals. I would prefer using soapnuts.
Hey, can we use detergent liquid and pods together if the quantity of clothes are more ??
Hi Riddhi, one pod should be sufficient for a single full load.
Do we need hot water washing while using pods
Hi, not necessary
Dishwasher tabs for clothes washing?🙄 Is it good for washing machines and clothes?
No! Not dishwasher tabs 😊 you get different tabs for washing machine. I like it, it’s great! amzn.to/3lwApih
@@TheGrapevineIndia but can we use laundry pods instead of detergent powder/ liquid and fabric softener? Will that give better results mam?
Yes! I have switched to these pods instead of detergent and softener
@@TheGrapevineIndia ohh thank you mam!!♥️
Great video Saumya!!! Recently I came across detergent sheets from a brand called reflekt sustainables. It claims to be eco-friendly which is an attribute I love. They have couple more products with the same ideology as well. Please take a look and share your thoughts on the same.
Hi sivakumaran arumuganainar! Yes! I've been planning to try them out. Soonish!
@@TheGrapevineIndia Perfect. You are awesome !!!
Why do you think the industry is pushing pods? because it's more profitable. The same reason for pushing liquids. Avoid liquids and stick to powder detergent. Cheaper, dosable as per wash load and will not cause long-term deposits that lead to smells later. The recommended dosage is one big average for the whole country. if your water is soft you can get away with less detergent. If it's hard you need more. If soil is normal you don't need as much as if it's heavily soiled. These are all important variables to keep in mind when dosing and a one size fits all such as pods is a solution looking for a problem and more expensive to boot. And please stay away from fabric softener at all costs.
I am surprised that you are promoting Pod and its benefits but don't have any idea to promote Amway's SA8 where all four benefits are available at the cost of Rs 8.50 only ( per wash only 10 ml is required).
Hi Joshi, pods are about the convenience. Will chk Amway.
@@TheGrapevineIndia I am still surprised that Amway products are an inconvenience for you and ready to spend Rs 24 compared to Rs 8.50 with the same benefits.
Perhaps you are an amway distributor 😅 i never mentioned inconvenience- not sure where you are getting that from.
@@TheGrapevineIndia Yes I am a business owner and promoting Amway products. For me it is obvious to promote my products but why you are promoting the expansive laundry Pod, are you an agent if not then and you are TH-camr then it is your duty to collect the right information and share it with your followers.
They import this from china and sale in very high price
Good content ! But a little bit of selfishness and openness at end , you didn't say that I big words like I won't use and so you also shouldn't but rather acknowledged
Biodegradable and/or non toxic detergent alternatives (not necessarily pods) - would be nice to compare those.
Or even better - how to create your own laundry detergent, from non toxic ingredients.
Protecting our waters from toxicity, our wallets, and our skin in the process.
Hi, it's not possible. Authorities needs to purify the drain water. Unfortunately nobody is doing that, instead of that they are directly realising the drain water into Rivers or ocean
@@curiesrisaisuryateja007
What do you mean "it's not possible"? Non toxic alternatives do exist, and DIY laundry detergent also.
@@MaximC sorry, where is non toxic alternates, please don't trust companies,they do marketing as environmental safe. But they are not we don't know what ingredients are present in the product.
Mm yes DIY laundry detergent is great, unfortunately most of the people can't do.
@@curiesrisaisuryateja007
I'm sorry, but you're confusing me. Biodegradable and/or non toxic laundry detergents do exist on the market. I'm sure some are better than others, but they do exist.
Hi Maxim and Teja, thanks for the discussion! Yes biodegradable ones do exist. But more often than not, we as consumers are penalized for being conscious of our environment - most of these products are more expensive. For example - amzn.to/3pLsQqq is a non toxic, eco friendly, bio degradable detergent. But it costs Rs. 247 for a 500ml detergent. Compare that to a liquid detergent for front load costing Rs. 191 for 1 liter - that's over 2.5 times more expensive. While I'm all for being environment friendly when possible, policies should exist to make them more of a norm to make sure majority of population is using it to make a dent to our environmental concerns.
