Told hubby that phrase…about colored and white clothes. He said I am fussy.

Of course lah, when kids wear white shirt/blouse to school, it reflects on ME.
If his white working shirt is not white, it also reflects on ME.
Does he like to wear shirts with a damp smell?

So is tops the indoor detergent? I remember years back, there is one brand which markets itself (or that particular variant) as the detergent for clothes to be dried indoor.

Yes, I think it is TOP.
Switched back to Persil bcos of low suds. I put one cup of Kao wide bleach with Persil to wash. Wide bleach is for colored and white clothes. Am I advertising? :roll:

[quote=\"KSmom8\"]Someone did suggest I switch to top load washer. Cheaper and if spoil, just change to another.


Can't do that. Have space constraint and dryer to consider.

Anyway, my LG front load arrived and have been using it for a few days. Am pleased with it. :boogie:

Am reducing the detergent cos use less water, and adjusting the use of laundry bags cos they get entangled due to 6 motion wash.

LG :imcool:

Your laundry bag get entangled? I do not have this problem leh.

What do you put in your laundry bag? How full is it?

Previously I used laundry bags for all clothes. Didn't like the way clothes got stretched during a higher rpm spin. To get the wash balanced, used at least 6 bags in each wash. Sometimes, the big bag will contain just 2 or 3 pieces of clothing.

Quite happy that i can adjust the spin rpm speed with LG, so I use a lower rpm of 800. Still put undergarments and t-shirts in laundry bags. Seems ok, so far. :xedfingers:[/quote]I do not put all the clothes in the laundry bag. Only selective clothings, n 2 pieces in a laundry bag.

TOP has low suds too, I think it's the purple packaging one
I'm using both TOP and persil, depending on which one having promo
No difference to me.

I never hang laundry outside the house. Air indoor only.
Oh, and same detergent for white & coloured clothings.
Also no difference to me.

I have a phobia holding heavy bamboo putting clothes out to dry.

Since grilles are locked, I always dry clothes inside…morning sun is so direct and hot. Tonight I am using just the Kao perfume liquid wash.

The TOP liquid detergent I use for my whites, is in a red bottle. For front and top load washers. I think it has a better scent compared to purple package.

Definitely good for indoor drying in my case, I very rarely have that damp smell from my clothes.

Which program do you use?

I quite like the \"mix\" program - it takes an hour plus. But just noticed from manual that max load is 4 kg - that is only 1/2 load. :scratchhead:
