Am working way through some bottles of Tide gifted to one, and it struck me just how much is left in bottle when considered "empty". This is because of the design/sprout P&G uses; a good 35ml or more remains in bottle that cannot get out as it is "trapped" behind that sprout.
A friend going through a very hard time now does his laundry by fetching bottles out of the recycling bin at local laundromat. He says there is easily a full cap or more in bottles, more than enough for one or more wash loads. Personally just fill the jug with water and pour contents into tub of washer. If doing things in a wash or bath tub just keep "rinsing" the bottle out with water as tub fills until the container is empty. Still one cannot help but wonder at how much liquid detergent and fabric softener is sent off to rubbish and thus landfills. | ||

I don't use liquid detergents. It is such a beautiful day tomorrow that I am going to do laundry in the 1961 Easy spindrier tomorrow. Happy washing. GB | ||

Once the bottles empty I'll just fill it and shake it up until it's rinsed out for my "last load" | ||

Well am here to tell you getting the sprout off most P&G
Bottles of detergent is nearly impossible. Have tried pliers, wrench, scissors, nothing.
Turing bottle upside down works well for some, but again P&G liquid detergents always have several ounces that get "stuck" behind the spout. You have to move the bottle onto an angle in order for more product to flow. Then sometimes the whole process leaves liquid oozing out of sides of sprout. Regarding "how much" is left in liquid detergent bottles. You'd be surprised. Sometimes when at local laundromat and bored with waiting for want of something to do peek in the recycling bin. Often bottles tossed in contain easily at least a full cap or more of product. The attendant does the "rinse" and "pour" method, and one guesses he got those marching orders from the bosses to keep expenses down. After all someone has to pay for the detergent used in service washes. Have also seen nearly full or half bottles of liquid detergent in that recycling bin. These are usually bottles people forgot, and or only purchased for that particular wash day. There is a Store/24 nearby and usually it is the budget priced products like All, Purex, Oxiclean, etc... Though every now and then you find Tide. | ||

I tgake my large screwdriver and pry the 'anti-glug' insert out and then pour the reset out-or leave the jug upside down with the cap on it. | ||
