Default loads

A laundry detergent product:

2X Ultra is 2X concentrated to give you twice the stain-fighting power in every drop. So you get the same number of loads in a smaller, more convenient bottle. Plus the new formula removes stains better than before. One small cap gets your clothes beyond clean, it gets them Ultra clean.



16 loads, 25 oz
25 loads, 40 oz
32 loads, 50 oz
48 loads, 75 oz
64 loads, 100 oz
96 loads, 150 oz




What does 'loads' mean?


Thanks

I think it means amount.
You get the same amount of stain-fighting power in a smalle bottle.

A "load" in this sense is the quantity of clothes etc. that your washing machine can take at one time.

Hi,bhaisahab.

96 loads, 150 oz

Does it mean that 150 oz of detergent can let you wash 96 times of clothing by using a washing machine?

Thanks

Yes, that's what it means, whether it is true or not is another question.

Hi Nefertiti,

2X Ultra formulas are 2X concentrated to give you twice the stain-fighting power in every drop.* So you can use less.
In fact, a 2.95L bottle of any 2X Ultra Tide product gives you the exact same number of loads as a 5.9L bottle of the non-concentrated one.

[IMG]file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/ADMINI%7E1/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/msohtml1/01/clip_image002.jpg[/IMG]

96 loads = 96 uses / load = the amount of material that can be inserted into a device or machine at one time

Loads Of Laundry,

New 2X Ultra Tide: Homepage

Regards.

V.
