For a front load HE washer, so you add this with the liquid detergent or should you place a small amount in the drum of the washer before clothes?

Hi! According to the manufacturer directions - they do not recommend using this item in a front load washing machine.

I am new to HE washers and have looked up this question online. Most sites say NO because regular detergents produce lots of suds; HE detergents clean with little water. If you use regular detergent your clothes will be sitting in a lather of suds. You can damage your washer when the high amount of soapy suds try to drain. Look it up yourself and see. I would tend to believe it. Frankly, you use a very little amount of the new detergents so it's not like they're just trying to make us buy more detergent.

I do believe that you can use this on cloths. I would use this as a pre treater, so spray directly on the spots, and I would give it a good ten minutes before putting in the washer. If it's a large amount of clothes, use as I said, then I would add about a half cup full to the load also. Hope this helps !!

It comes in a powder, so if you have one of those washers where you can only put liquid detergent in it, to be funneled in via a tube to be squirted into your wash, you would not put it in there, as it could clump and clog the line. I just lightly sprinkle it on the clothes, themselves, directly, so I'd imagine you could do the same kind of thing in any washer.

I just pour a full cap of the antiseptic liquid into the washing machine with the running water and soak the clothes in the water for five to ten minutes before adding any detergent. You can add a little more for larger loads. The Dettol liquid needs to be diluted first before being applied to skin or cloth.

I presoke my whites in a large laundry tub/bucket, then I wash in the washer. I too have a front loader washer.

Yes, you add water for the wash, add clothes and soap, run the wash cycle, drain, add water for the rinse, run through the wash cycle again without soap, drain. Take the clothes out of washer, squeeze a bit, put them into the spin section and run. The clothes are very clean and get as dry as they would from a regular washer spin cycle. Much easier for me than washing by hand. Tip: you only need a very small amount of soap, Even a little too much soap and you'll probably have to rinse several times.

I have a front load washer and washed it on the delicate setting with some other items. I did not put it in the drier. It turned out fine. Retained its shape and support.

In my machine the liquid cup come out and that's where the powdered detergent goes. You can also add it right on top of your clothing too.

We use it for our bedding sheets. Not quite sure if it really makes a difference or not. You add it on with your regular laundry detergent.

After I place my clothes in my front load washer I use the cap to add the pellets to the laundry. The fresh sell lasts longer than liquid fabric softener.

Yes - it's very low sudsing and works great in my front loader. For normal washes, I use one half scoop (the scoop is in the box) or a smidge more if the clothes are very dirty. For cloth diapers, I had an elaborate routine, you will have to play around with it and see what works for you. I did: "short wash" with 1/4 scoop of country save (to rinse out the pee/poop). Then heavy wash on hot, extra rinse with a full 1/2 scoop. Then I did an extra "short wash" with no detergent to be sure all the detergent was rinsed out. If you have a fancy model HE washer, especially one that you can force to use a little more water, you might not need to extra wash/rinse - lots of people get away with adding an extra rinse only, or possibly just two extra rinses. I just can't force my machine to do anything other than its very basic preset wash functions.

I was wondering the same thing because I have a combination washer/dryer, and since I throw in a load in the morning before work, I would have to include them with the clothes at that time. At least they'll be clean little guys I guess!

I have a top loader and hard water. I use a full scoop with arm and hammer laundry soda for a full load. With that being said, I do a full cycle: soak, prewash, wash and then the 2 rinses.

In a front loading washer, definitely yes. In a top loader, I'd use the gentle cycle. And as another person commented, avoid putting it along with anything which might puncture it.

I add about 2/3 of the included measuring cup to the load after adding the detergent. I also use a second rinse for bedding.
