What happens if you don't use the "right" amount of detergent to wash your clothes? (lemmy.ml)

I am using a liquid detergent and I use exactly the half of the detergent they say I should use. If a the washing machine requires 1 cup, I do half. Mostly because I don't trust the company to put me over their interests.

Now, what will happen? Will my clothes end up staying dirty? Will it not remove stains which a full cup would have removed? Will surfexcel kidnap me and torture me for not obeying their commands? Help meeee!!

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.
