does anyone else dilute their laundry detergent?

i use arm & hammer & find any detergent is really strong.

but when i bring a new container home, i add water to fill it to the brim then swish it. i add more water as i empty the container & use much less than what they recommend.

i find my clothes still come out clean & smell nice but i don't need an extra rinse & my clothes don't itch.

anyone found this practice to be helpful? or am i just a cheap idiot?

@singlemaltgirl I live in a place with really soft water. I use about half as much detergent than I used to when I was living in the desert.

@scottyorange ah, so water quality affects this, huh? we're on an aquifer here so i have minerals in the water. but it's not as hard as in alberta. thx for that - that makes a lot of sense!
