Does the detergent go in the basket, or down the center of the agitator? it seems doing the ladder makes a slimy mess at the bottom of it, so I no longer do that. the agitator is a Teal Shark fin type. | ||

Where To Put The Detergent ? In the center of the agitator is good but it really does not matter on your style washer.
I just can't understand how the detergent can leave a slimy mess inside the agitator, if it is not resolving and rinsing away completely you are either doing something very wrong or the machine is very broken and cannot possibly be getting clothing clean and rinsed.

 I use both powder and liquid down the center of the agitator, but I never, ever do cold washes. Always warm or hot, and I've never had a problem as described in the OP.
Fabric softener is another matter entirely. My FWB loves to use softener and both the cup and the top section inside the lint filter where the softener gets flung against need to be rinsed/scrubbed out after he runs a load. I don't watch over him, but I think he doesn't even dilute the stuff. | ||

I use Tide Powder detergent. ive noticed that the small load size does not fill up enough to properly wash away the soap. Ive never had build up putting liquid down the center. whenever i use cold, ill find powder chunks at the bottom of the basket, so i almost never use cold water. | ||

I place the detergent directly under the water injector while filling. | ||
