What can I say? I will admit that I was one of those very fortunate (and grateful) children who didn't have to do their own laundry for the first 18 years of my life. That has changed recently, of course.
I will be honest, I have no idea how to measure out the right amount of detergent and softener. I use (product placement alert! Although not really since they aren't paying me, but they should) Purex three-in-one laundry sheets. It is a thick sheet that has the right amount of detergent and softener already built in. Then, after the soap has been dissolved in the washer, the sheet then becomes the same sheet for the dryer. It is a wonderful thing for college kids, people in a hurry, senior citizens who have arthritis and cannot otherwise do laundry due to not being able twist off the lids of heavy detergent bottles, and individuals who are prone to spilling the contents of containers everywhere.
In addition, I have not actually had to fold my laundry as of this point. Milie, who is awesome, likes folding laundry and has folded all of my laundry (excluding boxers) in exchange for thank you notes. This concept is starting to catch on with the other residents of my cluster.
I've been doing my laundry since freshman year of high school, and I don't think I've ever measured my detergent or softener... and my clothes always come out just fine haha
