What is concentrated laundry soap?

Concentrated laundry soap is simply laundry soap with less water in it. It allows you to use a smaller amount per load because it's less diluted than regular laundry soap. Concentrated laundry soap is thought to be better for the environment, and it comes in smaller packaging, which may be easier to carry and store. In some cases, it may be less expensive than traditional liquid.

Which works best: liquid detergent, powder detergent, or laundry pods?

Each type of laundry soap offers some advantages over the others. Liquid can double as a stain remover, and it's less expensive than the pods. The powder is even less expensive than liquid, and it works best in areas with hard water. It also comes in more environmentally-friendly packaging most of the time. Pods are convenient and predosed, so you don't have to worry about using too much or too little, and they tend to last longer in storage.

What kind of laundry soap should I look for if I have sensitive skin?

Look for laundry soaps that are free from fragrances and artificial dyes. Some brands even have products labeled specifically for sensitive skin. Before you commit to a product, buy a small container and do a test run to see if that detergent irritates your skin.
