Just use less. I think people get used to dumping a certain volume in
and unconsciously think that a lesser quantity would work. Likely why
the stuff is made in such a wasteful diluted fashion requiring big jugs
for all of the water. It is pretty likely that the current "2x
concentrated" stuff could easily be further concentrated by a factor of
8. I imagine that would give some exciting results if someone dumped a
"normal" quantity of 16x into their washer.
