Why does Tide 2x ultra with dawn have more loads of tide 2x with downy?

I was looking at these to different bottles of detergent the bottles were both 100 ounces the tide with dawn had 52 loads and the tide with downy only had 48 loads the caps are the same size and marked the same for measuring the detergent. I found it interesting and hope someone can help me learn something new

    Because maybe one is a higher efficiency or one requires using less because using too much of it would put more suds in the washer. That;s what I am guessing, because one time I used a different detergent than the one I normally used and I used the same amount but apparently I used too much as there were suds in the washer (same washer).

    I think there slight different because one contains DAWN/The other contains Downy that probably with there 4 load different. Keep in mind if you look at the fine print at all bottle it usually says measure to lowest line. So don't pay attention to amount of loads. I just go buy how much IBS weights instead and compare price differences to make my choice.

    maybe her washer is not rinsing all the soap out. maybe tell your mom what is going on and ask her the next time she does wash if she could send your clothes through the rinse cycle two times and see what happens. if your still having a problem then let her know, and ask she not use it on your clothes any more.
