I use a front loader in the laundromat to do my laundry. How do i put the pods in the washer before the wash cycle? I mean the cycle after the initial prewash cycle.

my laundromat has a pre and wash and I put the pod in the front with the cloths for the pre and in the top slot that says #2 for the wash cycle if yours has a detergent top add on the machine.Since most are a 2 or more load I use more than 1 pod.

I don't use them but definitely put the tab in first, then the clothes in a front loader.

Unfortunately, if you're using a machine that has a short "pre-wash" cycle before the longer wash cycle, there is no way to add a pod directly to the longer wash cycle. In these cases, your best option is to dissolve the pod in a small jar of warm water ahead of time, then manually pour it into the machine's automatic detergent dispenser. Of course, this defeats the convenience factor of using the pods, in which case you might as well just use regular liquid or powder at the laundromat.

I've used them in high-efficiency machines and they work great. Just toss one in the barrel with the clothes instead of in a soap drawer.

Top loader or front loader? If it is a top loader, right after the pre-wash.

My daughter also uses a frontloader at the laundrymat..She is in college and thought that would be a great way to carry pods rather then liquid..The pods really didn't dissolve well in the front loaders. I use them in the top loaders all the time and they work great. So my recommendation is top loaders do much better with the pods the front loaders..Also the pod is not sudsy at all.. But I totally recommend it toploaders..

You just need to put it in the water before press start in the washing maching

I just throw the pod in with the clothes to begin with, but I don't prewash so not sure how it would react. I think the pod desolves in water.

Yes.. I took it to the local laundrymat because I don't have front loader machines.. you shouldn't put it in a machine with the middle agitator.. it came out very fluffy and nice from the laundrymat.. that's my 2 cents! :)

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.

I have a generous front loader and this monster won't fit in there. To machine wash mine, I have to trudge to the laundromat and use one of the huge washers. But, it is machine washable. The question is how big your washer is at home.

If the washer is out of warranty or you don't care if the washer company might make a big deal of using a non-HE detergent, just keep using it. Don't use more than you need or you'll get sudsing that'll reduce the effectiveness of the cleaning. I've been using this in my last two front loaders that recommend HE detergents with no problems. I never use more than the first line on the cup for even large loads. If you get excess suds, use less next time.

I have a large front loader as well. For a full load I use a slightly heaped scoop and about a quarter scoop in the pre wash compartment. It has always worked well for me!

Thanks, Wesley. How long did your front loaders last? I used this'd detergent on my last front loader, but it crumped out after 6 years. It seems like an expensive he washer should last longer... I've been using he detergent on my new he washer now, but I really miss the A&H; detergent. (And I have several boxes left!).

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.

I have been doing this for quit sometime. I found you may have to use less in the front loader. We have very hard water I use maybe 1/4 to 1/2 cup depending on load size. I put it in the drum start the cycle run enough water to dissolve it then put my clothes in. Hope this helps

No. Only in a front loader. I roll mine loosely, cover it with bathtub water will a drop of organic laundry detergent, swish it around a bit, let it soak, then re-roll it from the opposite end, swish it around again, let it soak a bit, then drain the soap water, refresh the water to rinse the mat, then roll it tight to squeeze out the water, then hang to dry. Done.

One that doesn't use enough water to clean your clothes. I have a newer whirlpool top load and absolutely hate it. I do a couple of articles at a time and select the large load try to fool the sensor by having something stick up as high as possible just to make sure everything gets wet lol. I can use a pod if I put it in first. They will stain your clothes if you add them later. I did have a front load GE -HE that did a decent job. It went when we sold the house. Really miss it just toss in the pod and away you go!

No. The pods include detergent + 0xyboost + Fabreeze softener. So It is really economical. I pod washes an average size wash. I use 2 for big loads if they are heavily soiled.

I just spilt coffee on mine and I am going to try spray and wash and the gentle cycle. Low in the dryer.

I have a brand new Whirlpool HE washing machine and on the inside of the top loader door it has clear instructions and it states that you can use liquid or powder HE detergent. ... That is for putting the detergent in the detergent dispenser in the machine.

Are you talking about a stacking unit, where the washer/dryer are together but separate units -- usually washer on bottom (top loading) and the dryer on top (front loading)? I have not used the Woolzies in them but I can't see any reason not to use them in the dryer. But NOT through the washer except maybe for "recharging" them after a few years of use. Because stacking units are often smaller capacity than regular units, you wouldn't have to use as many of them in the dryer load.

I think of my Wonderwash as a hand crank front loader. The key to the Wonderwash is to not over load it. You need head space so that the cloths can tumble while washing and rinsing. I use liquid detergent and softener together while washing, which consists of 200 rotations forward and back. I then let the cloths drain and I refill the tub for a rinse cycle. After another 200 rotations, I drain the water and put the cloths in my spin dryer, which will remove the soap, softener and dyes. I return the clothing to the Wonderwash for the final rinse of 200 rotations and then back to the spin dryer where the water comes out pretty clear and if it doesn't, then i go for another rinse. Keep in mind you can not do your laundry in bulk and for this reason, I believe, that my cloths come out cleaner, which you will notice with your colored cloths by how much dye will be removed when using the Wonderwash and a spin dryer combination for the first time. Cloths that I've had for years, when washed in my Wonderwash for the first time, released a lot of dye, which totally shocked me and made me realize that my cloths weren't really clean at all. For me, obtaining a spin dryer was the key to the whole process. You need to see the water being released from the cloths to decide if they need rinsed another time! Hope this helps. :-)

I have a front loader and I add it directly to the laundry. I use one or two scoops depending on load, no less no more. After eight months of use, I continue to love this detergent.
