Abstract: A system and method for supplying liquid laundry detergent refills to a consumer. A new empty refillable original laundry jug or container made of plastic or similar is sold with a small, lightweight first-use pouch of water-soluble laundry detergent pre-mix as a unit at a retail point of purchase. A separate supply of refill pouches of the pre-mix powder are available for purchase at any time after or separately from the original purchase of the original new empty jug. A consumer only needs to purchase the new empty refillable jug (with its included first-use pouch) once; subsequent refill pouches are purchased without a jug, and used to make an unlimited number of liquid refills in the originally purchased jug.
