I've heard that front loaders get so much soap out of your clothes that you must not add soap the first few times you wash, etc. That claim seems odd to someone who has both top loaders and front loaders in the house. I use both and always add detergent when I use my front loaders, without the front loaders over sudsing. Of course I hear the "claim" that front loaders seemingly rinse better than top loaders, yet I have never seen one shred of evidence to back up these specious claims. So I'm up for some education, can anyone actually prove these claims? Sales brochures don't count, because we all know what sales people do. I know that my non-recirculation solid basket washers rinse better than my perforated tub machines because of the lack of suds in the rinse compared to the perforated tub machines. The mechanics of why is easy to figure out, once suds and soapy water are removed from the clothes in a solid tub washer, there is no way for them those suds to ever touch the clothes in the rinse cycle. Front loaders with their perforated drums don't have this advantage. Suds that expelled are into the outer tub are mixed into the rinse water of the next rinse(s). |

Haha, leather cycle... My father washes leather stuff in his laundry, I mean, water-washing, but only if they get to be re-painted or to be given a new finish. |
