@TechConnectify I have two questions (and if it was addressed in the video, my apologies, I must have missed it) - the bag of Green Llama detergent costs about 3x more than a box of Cascade where I live. Does the higher cleaning performance really justify that price delta? I also haven't really kept track of how many loads a box of Cascade can do... Is the rated number of loads equivalent between the two products? Cascade helpfully omits that information from their boxes (or I'm just blind).

  • @baralheia @TechConnectify IMO the cleaning performance doesn't - It's only slightly better - but the part that does justify it is two fold. Part the first, they don't have nearly the same economy of scale, it's hard to make it cheap until a lot of people buy some Part the second, Profit goes to Charity, so there has to be some. At least in my opinion.

    @baralheia @TechConnectify Finish dishwashing powder says it gets 17 loads from 1.8 kg on the box. 106 grams/load, i.e. enough for >5 tabs. Can't trust 'em!! I use a store brand (Sobey's/Compliments). In testing detergents for my own use, I felt it was the bestest, <$9 for a box (1.7 kg), don't have to use very much, though always throw some in the prewash and never measure anymore, just by feel. I'd say prob a minimum for me would be about ~85 loads per box. Water is soft.
