I only use cold water on most of my clothes, Do these dissolve good in cold water?

they absolutely do NOT disolve in cold water. on the hot water cycle of my he washer, they left a gooey residue on some of my clothes which was very difficult to remove. i finally found someone who loved them and gave them away.

When I used them I made the liquid and used it because I was a cold water user. I do not use them anymore and make my own laundry detergent with castile soap, washing soda and borax and love it.

They are watercolors and therefore water soluble. But usually for an adult the colors go onto paper.and remove with a water brush scrubber adequate for repaint to a different color or leaving blank white I can't say whether or not they will stain clothing. The paints are nice and bright for the money. Good luck.

Yes. I use only cold water for my laundry and have used BerryPlus for years with very satisfactory results. My clothes are clean, they don't require an anti-static sheet in the dryer, and they have a lovely freshly ironed scent when they come out.

It is good to get them going in hot/warm water to speed the release of soap but not absolutely necessary. For a very large or dirty load I usually soak them in hot water a bit before I add them. Some times I'll just stick them in the washer let it run a little warm water and then put the clothes in before I turn it on cold and start it so they had a minute to warm up. But actually I went a year just throwing them in the cold water load directly, I guess I just started heating them when I read something suggesting it but they always worked fine before and lasted longer. I try to make a concentrate sometimes but then I use way more than I need too and waste it because it seems weird to only need a spoonful :) do keep in mind if you get stains you will need spot cleaner, these do general cleaning well but stains need a little extra effort.

Yes, but probably best not to dry them by machine. bad for most clothes anyways

Absolutely. It doesn't dissolve well in cold water so I start with warm, put in the product & mix until dissolved, then fill the rest of the sink basin with cold water.

Unfortunately, I've never mixed it with cold water, so I don't know. The powder is fairly fine, so it might be alright, but I'm not sure. Sorry.

Yes, in cold water with a mild detergent. I think it is necessary to air dry, though, so plan ahead for that. (wiping it with a dry towel will help speed the process)

We do not have soft water, and I wash in warm. I don't notice any issues. I pour it in slowly though. You are supposed to put the water in first, then the soap, then the clothes. I turn on the water, then pour a small amount in my hand and let the water run over my hand to distribute the particles. I found that when I poured it in like you would think, it clumped together. So, if you just take an extra minute and distribute it slowly, it will dissolve better. I'm not sure if that's related to the water type/temp, but it is something I learned. :)

I've been using Glucolift for about a year. They dissolve pretty quickly compared to other brands I've tried. You can always buy a single bottle just to try them out

I haven't washed mine yet, but I was planning on just using warm water and Woolite. They should be fine

I haven't had good luck mixing it with cold water. It doesn't seem to dissolve properly. I mix half the water (hot)called for with the needed powder, mix until dissolved then add ice cubes. If more cold water is needed to get to necessary amount I add it.

I have. But just as important as the detergent is of course how the garment is handeled... they came out beautifully submerged in ice cold water, rinsed, reshaped and rolled in towles to remove excess water, draped over a rack to complete the drying. I have a front loaded which has a very safe, gentle hand wash mode; I have done them both ways with great success using this product.

I do cold water and air dry only. They last over a year before they start to lose their fit. I never have issues with smell, shrinkage and weak or lazy fabric. It's the heat in the drier that really kills these.

I wash almost all loads on cold and have never seen any residue or evidence that it didn't dissolve 100%. And for bigger loads or visibly dirty items (like my dog's bed cover or blankets, etc) I use two in one load and still have never had a problem. I definitely would recommend - much more convenient in my opinion, than dealing with liquid or powder mess!

I've only washed mine in cold water as I do with all my clothes. It still looks beautiful & brand new. Hope that helps �
