Frequently asked questions
How does detergent type affect the estimate?
Different detergent types (liquid, powder, pods) have different recommended dosages and costs per load. The simulator uses the selected type to calculate yearly usage and expense more accurately.
Why do loads per week matter?
The number of weekly loads directly determines how much detergent you use over a year. More loads mean higher consumption and cost, so entering an accurate weekly average improves the estimate.
Can I use this for a single-person household?
Yes, the simulator works for any household size. Simply enter one person and your typical weekly loads to get an estimate tailored to your situation.
