Dear Cheapskate: I adore all your fantastic tips for washing machines and laundry, but could you lend some advice on how to get the detergent amount just right? I really dislike the uncertainty of using too little or too much—it’s like playing a guessing game every time I do a load. I attempted to find some guidance online, but unfortunately, the information wasn’t very helpful. Since you’re such an expert in these matters, I thought you might have some extra nuggets of wisdom to share—if you don’t mind yet another laundry-related post, that is! Sending you warm hugs for your wonderful work.—Your Anonymous Fan
Dear A.F.: Great question. And yes, flattery did get your letter to the top of the pile, so good job on that!
