Sounds like that worked out well. Requires a hands-on approach, but we're the guys who like toying around with our machines, right?
I cut water use in the Speed Queen by filling with truly hot or warm water, then switching to the Normal Eco cycle for spray rinses. I find the loads are rinsed adequately and I save a lot of soft water. It's encouraged me on to be more frugal with detergent dosing. Loads of kitchen + personal whites get a soak, a wash in the soak water, then two deep rinses. |

that low water start out will increase your detergent concentration greatly....similar to the Catalyst cleaning of a Kenmore...
but is all sounds good to me...after all, rinsing is nothing more than saturation and extract....in your case 2 times.... if the clothing seems a bit wrinkled after the spin, place in the dryer for about 10 minutes, then hang out to complete the drying....and sometimes splitting the clothing into 2 loads might help as well....I do this every time I line dry |
