There WAS no laundry detergent in 1910. To wash your clothes, you used flakes of soap (and you probably made the flakes by grating a hard bar of soap). This did a poor job. In 1933, Dreft detergent was marketed for the first time (a detergent, not a soap) but it did not work well on heavy stains. In 1943, Tide detergent entered the market- and is still around- improved a reported 21 times since then. But in 1910, drag out the soap and the grater.

Dish soap but not much, vinegar which will brighten the colors
Laundry detergent makers include full instructions on how to use their product, including how much. Nowadays, concentrated detergent means less is more and more could be worse. So pay attention to the instructions included with the packaging and use only as much as indicated. A good rule of thumb is to never fill the cap, as no detergent manufacturer will ever indicate to do so. Remember, most people overuse laundry detergent, which can lead to worn clothes and worn washing machines.

How much laundry detergent you need in order for it to be effective depends on how many clothes you are washing. It also depends on how concentrated the detergent is.
