Well, after the 2 hour cycle the results are in. I'm disappointed.. The socks should look much better. I wonder if they were tangled up in the sheets? I might just have to do a cycle of whites using a Tide Boost pac. Hmm..

I suppose Bulky had to gentle tumbling and the light soil level wasn't enough. | ||

reply to henene4 I completely agree! I just figured I would add the socks to the normal load of sheets. A Whitest Whites cycle with sanitize temp probably would provide better results, but would be overkill for the sheets. | ||

 Wow, those socks don't even look like they've been washed! I launder grimy socks all the time with Tide pods and they are dazzling white at the end of the Sanitize cycle on my Frigidaire, which is 10 minutes shorter than yours. The Sanitize cycle never fails to remove every imaginable stain, and I've used pods exclusively for months, now. Your hockey socks should have been cleaned even if they spent the entire cycle trapped inside the pocket of a bottom sheet. This photo shows a pair of grimy white socks (among several similar pairs in the same load) that were washed with a pod in cool water (75-degrees) and they came out perfectly clean using a Normal cycle that clocked in 1:24 minutes! No bleach or booster was used. You're sure you put those socks in the washer, right, LOL?
Also: Always toss the pod into the drum before adding clothes.

 I've discovered Bulky Items cycle doesn't reach the proper temperature. If you have Allergen cycle, use it--I do. Allergen with Sanitize temperature, heavy soil, and Stain Treat option if available. Extra rinse. Allergen is assured temperature--required, uss more water than Whites or heavy Duty and is also longer. I always use Tide He Powder with Bleach for whites. Can't complain one bit. | ||

Hey Lakewebsterkid
not to go off topic......but I just noticed in the picture (at least I think if I can see it well enough) that you have one of those Duets from a few years ago that has the Max rinse button on the very right. I've never found anyone who had one so can you tell me, if you use max rinse instead of regular, does it use more water?
