    Really?
    I don't use it very often anyway, only on towels sometimes... what does it do?

    Oh also for people who use liquid washing detergent do you dissolve it in the water 1st then add the clothes?
    No matter what i use sometimes my old machine (prob the machine more than anything) would leave white marks... whether it was liquid or powder... hmmmmm

    Oh i use sensitive liquid for DD's clothes and whatever liquid is on special for DP's & mine.. any hints on a GREAT washing detergent?

    use vinegar for towels. it does the same & doesn't eventually build up gunk to clog your machine like softener does.
    Clean with vinegar, or bi carb. I just do a full load, but only a rinse cycle to clean mine. With vinegar in the cycle & in the softener part.

    is it an aquasmart?
    i use ecostore or aware powder - only half the amount on the box (maximum) - i never use any fabric softener
    ummmm, try to match cycle to load - if there is a particular cycle that matches what you're doing, use it
    i love my aquasmart!

    Awesome... keep the tips coming, i want the prefect clothes and washer... lol

    My PG brain is so stupid ATM i can't remember exactly which one it is, once DP brings it home tonight i will let you all know, am also going to study my user manual for extra tips.

    Sounds stupid really, have been out of home and washing my own clothes (and everyone elses while at home) for well over 10yrs and i still ask dumb questions... hehe

    Each to their own and with other advice i might just turn out to be a house wife after all!

    Mine's an aqua smart. The powder actually goes down the adgitator (ps?) in mine. You pull out the softener dispenser & put the powder down the middle.

    I put my powder in the same spot Skye. That's where the sales person told me to put it and surprising the older ladies at work were all surprised that us young ones didn't know about that.
