Rockin' Green Activewear Detergent (2024)

FAQs

Am I using enough laundry detergent? ›

How much laundry detergent should you actually use? To effectively clean your clothes, you need to use only 2 tablespoons per load at most—and that's for big loads weighing 12 pounds or more.

All of Rockin' Green's detergents are super concentrated, so a little really does go a long way, every time. Be sure to stick close to the guidelines of 1 scoop (1 Tbsp) per load in HE and front loaders, 2 scoops (2 Tbsp) for top loaders.

Use one pac for regular loads, two pacs for large loads, and three pacs for extra-large loads. Turn your gym clothes inside out to help the detergent reach the smelliest parts of your gym wear, then place them in the washing machine. Use the warmest water temperature allowed by the care label.

As an overall rule, 2 tablespoons is how much detergent you really need for a standard laundry load size.

What happens if you don't use enough laundry detergent? Your clothes will be damp and dirty. They may also still have odors that should be removed. Don't dry them, just wash them again with laundry detergent.

Which Rockin' Green detergents contain enzymes? Our Platinum Series Detergents are enzyme-based detergents! Not only that, they're plant-based enzymes. The special enzymes in our detergents target biological residue specifically (which is why they're so good at removing sweat and other residue).

Add either two tablespoons of Funk Rock or two tablespoons of our Dirty Diaper Detergent and allow your cloth diapers to soak for an hour to really strip any of the deep-set residue and smells. Want for more information on how to ensure your cloth diapers last?

For Top-Loading, Traditional Washing Machines:

Start washing machine and add your usual detergent. Add full strength Simple Green All-Purpose Cleaner. Add ¼ cup for normal loads. Add ½ cup for heavily soiled laundry or clothes permeated with smoke, and soak for 30 minutes prior to washing.

It's simple: “Freshly washed workout clothes still smell sweaty because they aren't thoroughly clean,” explains Mary Marlowe Leverette, a cleaning and fabric care expert and consultant to detergent manufacturers, textile distributors, and consumer laundry appliance developers.

How many cups of detergent do I need for a full load of laundry? ›

Liquid detergent requires the highest amount – usually two tablespoons, give or take, per load, or two teaspoons if you have a high-efficiency washing machine. With many powder formulas, the recommended amount is about a quarter of a cup.

If you are soaking only one garment, use one teaspoon of liquid or powdered detergent per gallon of water.

Unlike jeans, which can withstand a few wears before being washed, athletic clothes should be cleaned much more frequently. Patric Richardson of The Laundry Evangelist says exercise garments should be cleaned after every workout. When running errands, like going to grab a coffee, they can be worn twice before washing.

We use it on sweat-soaked hot yoga clothes everyday, and it has kept them smelling fresh for months!!! Great product! The only laundry agent I will use for active wear and underwear. This preserves spandex and removes odor Two small scoops does the job.

If using detergent pods, detergent sheets, color-safe bleach or fabric softener crystals, add them directly to the tub before loading clothes. Do not put in the dispenser or on top of clothes. Use designated dispensers when adding liquid chlorine bleach and fabric softener.

5 ounces of laundry detergent for high-efficiency machines and 1 ounce for traditional machines. If you're using a pre-measured detergent pod or pack, these are already optimized to standard laundry loads, so just use one per load and follow the instructions on the product label.

Washing machines clean clothes in part by allowing clothes to rub against each other; this friction helps work dirt and stains out of fabric. Using too much soap can reduce this friction, which means that your clothes may not get as clean as they would otherwise.

Too many suds in the cycle

If the washer overflows or leaves suds behind after a wash, try using less laundry detergent.

According to Procter & Gamble Co., the average American family washes 300-390 laundry loads per year, which means they're spending between $180-$600 per year on detergent.
