[Nfb-krafters-korner] OT: Measuring liquids

[slerythema]

Terry P.

Just an fyi on the soap packets. If you use a front loader, make sure the
packet goes in the back. We had one that didn't dissolve properly because it
ended up against the door seemed to attach to it. Also, sometimes, that soap
can leave spots on your clothes (this happened a couple of different times).
We now have a medium size bottle of Tide that we use for smaller loads and
only use the packet for large loads.
