Even though intellectually I know that suds don’t clean, I don’t want to look into my washer and see dirty clothes agitating in clear water. Just don’t want it.
And I want to be able to stop the washer and open it...say, for instance, if I’m doing towels or underwear on a long wash and I want to add bleach.
In my earlier post I forgot to add tbat it literally took ALL EVENING to dry a load of sheets (two---for one bed) in my MIL's front loading dryer.
if you choose HE look up how to make homemade laundry soap. will save you hundreds per year.
Basic laundry powder:
Grate one bar Fels Naptha (I let ‘em dry unwrapped a week or two) 97 cents @ Walmart in the laundry section
Add one cup Arm&Hammer washing soda
Add one cup borax
Use one Tbl for normal load in a front loader.
