The real problem is using too much detergent in the first place. It doesn’t take much. We use about 1/3 - 1/2 of the recommended amount. Using too much helps the clothes become re-soiled much more easily because of the detergent residue left behind.
Carpet cleaners have known this for at least the last 35 years.
Yes, too much detergent is a major issue. People also use FAR too much fabric softener.
Here’s a tip: If your washer has a strong odor, it is the excess softener built up where the laundry can’t rub it off the washtub.
I dilute mine about 10:1 then put it in the dispenser. It still works just fine, and no build up of slimy, stinky, ugly goo between the wash drum and tub. No smell, either!
