My first attempt at doing my own laundry was freshman year at college. My Mother gave me specific instructions and sent me off with her favorite brand of laundry soap. On my breaks from college I did not go near the washing machine. I did however hang the laundry up outside on the clothes line and hang up my Dad's dress shirts fresh from the dryer.
In my house I always did the laundry, not my kids or husband. You know it's the mom's job and so on. There was a time I was unable to do the laundry do to surgery and my youngest took it upon herself to wash her own clothing. How nice was that. She still does her own laundry.
When my oldest is home from college she arrives with a pile of dirty duds and bedding to wash.
The rest of the house laundry is on hold for days and days. Those machines are running all day.
One daughter asked if she could have her own washer and dryer in her room. Sure I say!!!
Or better yet, we could install commercial machines. right.
As far as what detergent to use in these machines I've tried several major brands. Some I like, some I don't buy again. I like Purex brand detergents. Reasonable priced, available at major department stores and drug stores.
Nice fragrance, works well, coupons available.
Purex® has a new laundry detergent out called Triple Action Purex. I tried the Mountain Breeze fragrance. Smells nice, works well. It is safe for all machines. I have seen some detergent brands have a higher price for HE formulas and less load washes per bottle than regular formulas. This is both, same price, same wash loads, same for regular machines same for HE machines. Works for me.
Look for Purex® Triple Action laundry detergent where you buy you washing machine suds.
