Power PODS™ are bigger than original PODS™, so you usually need only one or two (for the largest or dirtiest garments) per load. We'd like to learn more about your concern, so we can make sure you get the best results possible. Please, call us with more details when you have an opportunity. We're here daily, and our contact info is below: Monday through Friday: 9AM - 6 PM, ESTSaturday & Sunday: 9 AM -5:30 PM, EST1 (800) 879-8433We look forward to talking with you soon.
