Passage: I do laundry once a week , my husband and I do n't make much laundry . First I separate the whites so that the colored clothing does n't make them dingy . I fill the washing machine halfway with the colored and a darker clothes or maybe slightly more , making sure they are evenly distributed so that the load is not unbalanced . I measure out a half a cap full which is the recommended amount for the type of detergent and machine that I have . I close the lid and turn the dial to cold water wash and make sure that the settings are proper . I prefer cold water because it 's cheaper and does n't fade colors or make dyes bleed . I also set the soil level to high , spin speed to high , and make sure the clothes are spun out twice so that they dry faster in the dryer . Once the clothes are clean and spun out I deposit them in to the dryer . Question: Where do they put the detergent? Option1: in the washing machine Option2: on clothes
in the washing machine
