Hej fellow kids! Life-question here.

WHERE DOES THE FRICKING WASHING POWDER GO?

For forever I have just kinda yeeted it half-and-half over tray 1 & 2. At times lazily experimenting by putting it all in one tray, then the other. At other times I forgot the powder in the first place, thereby being an environmental hero with slightly less clean clothes.

Honestly. I don't see much, or any, difference in whatever method.

Please share your laundry wisdom.

The small white tray to the right, often labeled I, is if you do a longer "prewash" for extra dirty clothes program, in which case you should put washing powder/liquid in both trays. Blue is for softener (I use non-seasoned vinegar if I remember to do it).

Any ideas for climate change? Like, not how to fix it globally, but just for Jutland?

Need any other life hacks, let me know!

For instance, WASHING POWDER HERE, PEPIJN in water resistant sharpie or something.

If you put powder in right, you'll get powder residue after washing.

General washing machine rule: blue thing - fabric softener. Its used during the rinse.
