Too little and your clothes will be exposed to more friction, causing things to get pulled and rubbed more.
My newer LG with a mobile app once scolded me for using too much.
Well fuck LG, just build a tank into the washer that I can fill with a gallon of detergent at a time and do your own metering.
Wait, how does the detergent affect friction?
That just sounds wrong
Mix some in water and feel it.
They work by getting between the fabric and the βgrimeβ and lifting it off. Also something to do with surface tension.
That's a bit thin, is a lot like 'it's totally true, bro, just try it. Anecdotal arguments.
I need some fluid dynamics here
You need someone to prove that soap is slick?
I mean that is not the main function. In a tumble drier cloathes rub against each other without any soap too, without disastrous tearing of fabrics.
Tumble drying does drastically reduce the lifespan on the clothing though...
