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!!

Persistent smell of sweat doesn’t reappear immediately after washing, it takes a few days. Then you’ll know if you used too little detergent. Could use a vinegar soak or wash (or bleach for whites), because detergents can’t dissolve everything.

Ah, good point. Still something OP can find out by experimenting a bit and adjusting the amount where needed.
