Soaking Clothing in a Front Loading Washer

RE: Soaking Clothing in a Front Loading Washer By Marsh (Guest Post) I miss my top loader. With all the extra water it uses, I feel the clothing is cleaner. Sometimes I forget to empty my kids pockets in the front loader, the finish product is quite messy because there is so little water to flush the tissue paper away.

Clothes that have been stored for a long time, or taken over by the cat, etc. need to be soaked. Using a pail - which I do - doesn't seem like something I should need to do in 2007. Sometimes I want to add something for the last 2 min. of a cycle & can't. Also I don't notice that my clothes are any cleaner so I use Oxyclean. But if you use Oxyc with your detergent, don't you have to use a powder detergent? Anyother comments or suggestions would be welcome.

I use the white cycle and my 3-yrd-old's socks come out like brand new. I use a bleach or oxyclean also. It took getting used to a front loader but I'll never go back to a top loader Posted on 09/16/2006 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Soaking Clothing in a Front Loading Washer By Melanie (Guest Post) Annie (or anyone else), Do you add the additional items (such as Oxyclean, borax, whatever) in the detergent slot of the machine then?

When I'm ready to finish the load - turn it back on. Posted on 09/01/2006 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Soaking Clothing in a Front Loading Washer By jrslady (30) Contact You know what? A front-loader cleans clothes so well that you usually don't need a pre-soak anyway. I use a pre-wash when needed but basically use only detergent and Oxyclean. I always have a spotless wash. You are so lucky to have a front-loader! Everyone should have one! I learned this back in the sixties. I've tried to stick with front-loaders ever since.

I just keep a 5 gallong pail handy and use that when I need to soak something. Not the best solution but it works. I love my front loading washer and wouldn't give it up.
