I have a front load washing machine. By putting defense in the fabric softener compartment, am I using the product correctly?

The key is to put the solution during the final rinse cycle. You will need to check your washing machine manual to ensure that is when your fabric softener is being added. I usually go to laundry coin operated place since they have the machine I'm looking for also I can load up their machines with 2-3 Gi's.

Yes that is the correct way to use and actually the bast application since it is the last thing going into the laundry other than water

I put defense in the fabric softener/bleach compartment of my washer and it seems to work fine. I do use a large more industrial type washer which is used by all the tenants in my building.

I don't have a front loader, but I put mine in the softener thing in the middle. When I talked to the man from the company, that's what he told me to do. Hope this helps.

I have a top loader with a fabric softener compartment, and that's what I do. I'm sure it's the same.

Works great in HE machines. I no longer use fabric softener-the clothes come out so clean you don't need it!

Hi Arnold - I probably won't be of much help since I bought this for my newphew for Christmas and haven't personally used it. But since I do use items like that at my house, I wash items like that in warm water (don't use fabric softeners) and I don't put my items in the dryer. If my nephew has used it, I'm sure he didn't give much thought on washing instructions lol! Good luck!

Yes, you can use the product in a front load washer. You can add it to the detergent dispenser for overall brightness/whiteness and/or you can add some product directly onto the fabric, depending on the stain. You can also do a pre-soak and only add the product to the detergent dispenser and then follow with a normal washing cycle with or without adding the product to the detergent.

I plan on trying to wash it in washing machine and yes prob on the gentle cycle- but haven't yet - others claim to have and I'll soon find out as well. But was told do not use fabric softner - since it is microfiber.

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!

I have an Energy Star front-load washer and its companion dryer. I bought a six pack a couple of years ago, and my box says to use all six in a load. I am just now noticing a bit of static on things like skimpy fleece blankets we put out for the cats, and so forth. I am very pleased with this purchase and I'm thinking of buying another pack to have to use for "good" laundry and to save the older ones for loads where it doesn't matter. I have not used a single dryer sheet since I started using Woolzies and I feel better about my contribution to the environment, as a result.

The CS site recommends using 1/2 scoop for HE front loaders, diapers included. I have a Samsung HE FL. I do a rinse and spin cycle with some old wet towels, cancel the spin, extra rinse, cold/cold quick cycle 1/4 scoop, heavy hot, extra rinse 1/2 scoop then rinse and spin cycle with extra rinse. Sometimes I will skip detergent in the cold/cold quick wash. I check my cycles for bubbles and do strip them with Dawn regularly just in case. I think it is a bit harder to get it right with an FL than a TL. Hope that helps.

I've been using them for about a year now. I have a front front load washer. I use the little bag they include, inside a hosiery bag, which makes it much easier to find and not get lost and put in the dryer. I'm very happy with the results for myself (allergies) and the enviroment!

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. :-)

Hm, I'm not sure if we are talking about the same product, but I just got a bag and maybe some instructions. As I understood it, this product is for the washing machine primarily, not the dryer. The product has worked with my stuffed animals, sports items, etc.

I am not sure if it can be used in a front loading machine, but I have. There isn't any residual product left on the clothes. I have not experienced any problems as of yet.

I have a top loader, however it locks when the water starts. I always put a the detergent in when the clothes are still dry, but I put half the load in, detergent, and then the other half. I haven't had any cases of discoloration and I have still found it to be effective.

absolutely, I have a frontloading washer, HE, and it worked great on our sleeping bags. Came out smelling really clean and the fabric felt great. Just be sure to follow the directions for the amounts to use.

I wash them on the gentle cycle with my dusting cloths and other floor pads that I use in my basement and set it at extra heavy soil. I use cold water, no fabric softener. I never put them in with regular clothing or anything other than cleaning rags.

Yes - says for all washing machines including "he" here: http://www.20muleteamlaundry.com/detergent-booster/boost-your-detergent/ One thing to note: we just got a front loading machine. It says to put the powder in with the clothes instead of the detergent tray. I'm not sure of the reasoning behind that. My wife put oxi-clean powder in and there was a hardened ball of it that didn't get broken up so just make sure all your solids are not clumped up when putting into the machine. I just put the borax into the liquid tray with the liquid. Not recommending that. Not discouraging it either. ******One thing: check local prices. My wife informed me that this is less than half at the local grocery store from what I paid here.*******

It depends on the level and fabric of clothes. If a full load in this machine of knits such as tee shirts and light knit pants, use about one third of liguid detergent described f for full load in regular washing machine. Liguid seems to desolve better and faster. Very similar to regular machine for choice of detergent. ( While draining from wash,and almost empty, take hand held shower and run through the clothes for a few minutes). Then, replace drain and fill and rinse cycle as usual.. This is one handy machine..
