I do not use liquid detergent. Mine is top loading…using Persil powder for more than 10 years since the Borsch front loading. I like Persil bcos it is really low in suds.


Use laundry bags for some tees, kids’ uniform blouse/shirts and pinafore.
Different sizes of bags for clothes.

hi janet,
u mean u mix persil with kao? Is it ok for front load washer coz kao is not low sud?

[janet88]

I poured only a little of the Kao detergent for the scent…that one really bubbly…so cannot put too much. Sometimes I do not put Persil, just Kao itself…the kitchen smells so nice even the next morn.


Mine is top load

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:

I use Top detergent ( purple pack ) low suds for colored clothes and put in compartment of washer. I use the Top liquid detergent ( red pack ) for white clothes, also put in compartment.


I used either spin or persil ( can’t remember which ) previously. Had issue of damp smell when weather was wet, as my clothes are all dried indoors. After I changed brand, my clothes hardly ever have that damp smell. ( Goodness, I sound like a commercial… I’m not related in anyway to any of above brands. ) I’m not so particular about scent, as long as clothes smell clean, I’m happy.

No worries, I know you are not doing ad
Appreciate your recommendations. Top is good...especially for indoor.
Colored clothes must look fresh, white ones must look white. Now I sound like a commercial.

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.
