Qualin, I think jeans should be able to be washed and dried in any temperature you desire, it's supposed to be a heavy duty /every day garment and it should be okay without any special or delicate care instructions. I do have pairs of jeans I've been wearing for like 4-5 years and they're still...

That's exactly my procedure to wash jeans Inside out Warm / Cold Permanent press cycle Low temperature tumble dry I does slow down fading, but wasn't sure if I was doing the right thing or there was a better way to keep my jeans in a good shape, thank you so much for the advice

My dryer has a stainless steel drum but the inside of the door is white and I've noticed the blue stain, which should be the right temperature for washing jeans and reduce fading?

Omg, I didn't remember those tv commercials until now... but well, I think I'm gonna stay going with Persil powder, it gave me excellent results in every way, just wished it was a bit less sudsy but my final rinse is almost clear so I'm okay with it.

This is the Persil powder sold in Mexico, liquid does have the HE symbol but powder doesn't and suds up more than liquid, so I think this detergent is not HE... Even when it suds up more than liquid rinse results are pretty good.

Update... I got Persil powder and it did give nice results, got a little sudsy but rinsed out beautifully and there's no sticky film in my clothes... Looks like powder isn't HE so I put 1/4 cup of detergent for a large load and everything came out fresh and clean.

Launderess: I will definitely try powder then, and thank you for the thread, I'll check it out right now :)

Askolover: The same Costco Kirkland detergent that is sold in the US is sold in Mexico, that's why I was asking about it, I think I might give it a shot and see how it turns out. Launderess: So do you think I might be able to deal with the residue problem if I try with Persil powder? MrAlex...

I've seen the blue liquid sold in the US, I think it is a different formula too; the green gel has a high grade of viscosity, which I think is what makes it harder to rinse out from laundry.

Update... So yesterday I did a small load with some clothes I wore on Friday night out, I used 1/8 of the cap for a small load and suds still being a problem, even in the final rinse it looked like the main wash... The funny part is that clothes didn't come out too sticky, as usual but I can...

Peter: Yes, Viva is still available and it is totally awesome. I stopped using it not because I disliked it, because it is a little bit more expensive than Persil and didnt last that long (comparing to Persil). I asked a friend who started using Persil liquid since it came out in Mexico, about...

I reduced the dosage because I don't have really dirty clothes either, my other theory is that my fabric softener is leaving that residue, but it began after I switched to Persil. I'm gonna give it a try doing a load with no fabric softener and I'll tell you the results...

I love the smell of Persil too, and I actually think it is an awesome detergent once you figured out the amount you have to use for your laundry to get clean and without that sticky film it leaves. I'm gonna keep experimenting with detergent dosage until I find out the right amount, or just...

I don't know if Henkel uses the same formula for Persil in every country that they sell it, I will attach some pictures of Mexican Persil at the end. I've gone before with some other HE detergents made by Henkel here in Mexico and this is the first time I experience something like this. Water...

I recently changed to Persil from Arm & Hammer, I started to notice that my clothing felt kind of sticky after washing and drying, which I didn't experienced with Arm & Hammer. I'd like to hear about your experience with Persil and some other detergents

German washing machines I agree with the fact that Germans have been doing it better, one clear example are Miele products, compact but outstanding machines in every way possible...

Pilling The theory that pilling is caused by dry tumbling inside the washer could be true (among other factors), I have had a Kenmore 417 front load washer for 13 years and I've never had issues with pilling in my clothes; I think part of this is the fact that this machine has an old schooled...

I just saw that, I didn't zoom the picture before (my bad), I thought it was 240 because I saw a W1213 earlier today and it was 240, I'm gonna try to go and check them out anyways, seems like a good deal

Hey guys, I just saw on craigslist a Miele Touchtronic set for $1250, I'm chasing a W3033 or something with a 120 electrical connection, this set is 240 so it's not an option for me but for those who live in LA area and don't care about the set being 240 here's the link, good luck guys, this set...
