Not all habits age well — especially in Indian homes. From soaking clothes overnight to eyeballing detergent powder, our laundry routines haven’t changed much in decades. But as we step into 2026, it’s time to rethink what’s really working and what’s quietly damaging our clothes, wallets and the planet.
1. Overusing Detergent: More Foam ≠ More Clean
In many Indian households, extra detergent feels like extra care. In reality, it’s doing the opposite. Overusing detergent leaves residue on clothes, causes stiffness, dulls colours and even irritates skin, especially in humid weather.
Smarter habit: Switch to pre-measured solutions like Hapiso laundry pods, designed to deliver the right amount every single wash. No guessing, no wastage, no sticky residue. Plus, they’re plant-based and eco-friendly, making them gentler on fabrics and the environment.
2. Re-washing Clothes Because They “Smell Clean… But Not Fresh”
That faint damp smell after drying indoors or during monsoons? We’ve all been there, rewashing clothes because of it. Re-washing wastes water, electricity and time — and weakens fabric fibres over time.
Smarter habit: Use high-quality formulations designed to clean deeply in one wash and dry faster without residue. Laundry pods dissolve completely and rinse out clean, reducing the chances of odour build-up.
3. Ignoring Fabric-Specific Care
Throwing all your dirty laundry into one load is common — but damaging. Indian wardrobes are diverse and each fabric needs a different laundry routine.
Smarter habit: Read wash labels, separate loads and use gentle, balanced detergents that work across fabric types. Hapiso’s pods are formulated to clean effectively without being harsh, ideal for daily mixed loads.
4. Replacing Effort-Heavy Routines with Smart Systems
Laundry without spills or bulky refills — laundry shouldn’t feel like a chore marathon.
