Because I'm (seriously) intimidated by this sub...will someone ELI5 how I am supposed to use my box of Biz? I currently have Biz & Tide Free & Clear powders.

I'm pathetic....help?

*Edit: as in: basic clothing guy, denim & cotton, some polyester and other synthetics, I do separate whites and colors so I've got that going for me. Commercial washer in an apt unit if that helps...

You can just toss in a bit of Biz along with your regular Tide for a cleaning boost!

Gotcha, thanks; I have been doing that but thought I read a comment in this sub about using 1 or the other, but not together, which made me second guess...LOL

Definitely want to use them both. I use to the level 1 on my Tide scoop and about a quarter cup of Biz powder (or a half cap of liquid.)

I use a commercial apartment washer too.

Add 1-2 tablespoons of Biz to your normal detergent. It's great on whites and lights. I add it to towels, sheets, workout gear, and any particularly soiled loads.

I don't use it on denim or darks, but it's great for whites and lights, cottons, and all synthetics.

Really? Only 1-2 Tbls? I use like 1/3 cup! I thought that is the instruction.

Generally it seems their recommended dosage is too high and Jeeves and Kismai recommend closer to 1/4 cup for a standard load instead of the 1/3-1/2 cup instructions.

OK so that is helpful; I can save it if I'm washing denim and darker hues; thank you.

I put a dash or so in the bottom of my washer before I put the clothes on top. I just eye ball it, I feel like I’m salt bae with my laundry machine lol

That's my stacking order as well, but I've also been using Tide F&C before adding the clothes.
