They save a lot of money on soap and such. They are very good for high tech, synthetic blends. They are not so good for jeans, T shirts and permanent press.
Tips
- Use HE detergent
- Remove promptly and shake out wrinkles
- Use low spin
- Balance and do not overload
- Don’t mix heavy and light articles
- Don’t pack
- Warm water helps relax wrinkles
- No Eco Boost (uses lower temp water)
- No Clean Boost (adds time )
- Use Fabric Softener when possible
Fabric softener softens thick material such as denim and leaves a lasting scent
If used incorrectly, fabric softener can cause stains on white and light-colored clothing
Fabric softener does not work well on all fabrics
For example, fabric softener can cause towels to become too soft, which will make them less absorbent
- Most pre-treat products are still normal to high sudsing and their use should be limited in HE washers
- HE detergents can be used as a presoak or pre-treater
- Leave lid open, this reduces mucky smell
- Do a clean washer cycle if it smells or do a hot wash with bleach
