I have heard Gsohoover say in his videos that he uses only powder on his 1-18s and other old machines. Is it better to use powder on my 1-18 and 1982 Kenmore? The jet flow lint filter on the 1-18 makes the perfect detergent dispenser for liquid. So do I need to use powder or can I just stick with my Purex Liquid. If anyone is curious I use Purex Mountain Breeze detergent and fabric softener. I'm having issues finding Free&Clear powder for a good price or Purex Mountain Breeze powder. The reason for that is because If I like the scent of the detergent I don't want to wash it out with the softener smell. With the Purex Mountain Breeze Detergent. the Purex Mountain breeze softener boosts the Detergent smell.

Seem to recall a few conversations years ago now
That some modern liquid detergents affected seals or other rubber parts in vintage washing machines.
Other than that find vintage phosphate laden powder detergents far easier to rinse in my "vintage" Miele w1070 than many modern liquid or pod versions. Today's liquid/gel/pod formats have chemical component lists that run well over a dozen substances. They tend to be highly surfactant laden which one supposes is necessary to give good performance in all this cold water washing. | ||
