How To Use Newer Front-Loading Washing Machine
Many readers have complained about the newer front-loading washing machines. I did, too, until I read the manual more closely and experimented a bit. Here are the settings and methods I came up with for using my Whirlpool.I use the Deep Water Cycle for average mixed loads and the Bulky Items setting for sheets and towels. For dirty or heavily soiled jeans and stained items, I use the Heavy-Duty cycle, with the Pre-soak feature and heavy soil selection. For those items, I also use a scoop of BIZ and a full measure of HE detergent. When needed, I use a spot treatment on problem areas. It’s made of equal parts water, dish soap and ammonia. In general, I’ve found it works best to use the maximum amount of detergent for any cycle.
To reduce vibration during the spin cycle, I try to load the machine evenly. However, I do sometimes have to move the machine away from the wall from time to time. And the machine still does twist clothes together, such as long legs and sleeves. (Ken Ladd, Minneapolis, Minn.; kenladd@comcast.net).
