Thanks! Might come in handy one day.

Residue Glad you mentioned it, just checked the tub and sure enough it's covered in a white residue that was definately not there before. It came off on my fingers so running Tub Clean w Affresh.

That too, Method's synthesized version of ozone-- "Fresh Air"--gives me a headache. Ironically I don't mind it as much as the stench of anything the clothes come in contact with, like food. At least the headache goes away after a while.

Very interesting results just with a sample! I know this isn't the first time this happened, it was many years ago but I distinctly remember having this same problem with another brand. I'm going to redo this load. Water bill is probably going to be crazy this month 😣

Dirty detergents Yeah you guys know that but 99.9% of HE users here have no clue. We expect to see some at different points of the cycle since they're "low sudsing." With some detergents you don't have to overdo it or come even close to see the suds, and that's on the makers themselves. I...

Tiny diamonds This ad is funny.

Sooo for Americans to switch to no suds it's going to involve a total re-education about how sudsing detergents actually work in HE machines...but sounds like they never worked that great anyway! It's like if you watch Shark Tank, they will pass on investing in a product just because the...

Turning a blind eye. I didn't mention it before but it's definately crossed my mind...It says right there that the industry KNOWS that suds do not clean clothes. Sure, it's partly cultural, Americans associate clean with suds. We're used to seeing ads with bubbles because it takes an abstract...

Omg yes The About Us page says it all...And he's the founder of this site? Jon? 🙋 Haven't tried but it's next. "In his research, Jon learned from experts in the appliance industry that customers were very unhappy with the current crop of detergents on the market. The complaint was that the...

Small world David lol. I was surprised the author personally replied to you, she had to have been a little embarrassed. If a consumer watchdog group that probably employs scientists can't even get it right I question the major players. There's a total disconnect between the washer manufacturers...

And sorry if I sounded overly defensive but these problems are so much bigger than me. That's one reason I put so much time into this because I'm trying to get the the core of the problem for everybody. I've read the complaints of so many people spending a lot of their precious time doing...

Yes, I'm well aware of the option to wash in warm for linen even if I didn't expressly state that. I would hope that it's a little more obvious based on the sheer complexity of this topic and as much as I've put into it that I can think outside the box and its simplistic binaries. And again...

Elastic It may be fine to boil wash linen sheets but the elastic on the fitted sheet will lose its properties and deteriorate...Washing separately a bit impractical.

I would agree that Consumer Reports and the like are incompetent, they have been steadily losing credibility over the years because of alleged biases...Utterly ridiculous to not test each cycle. At this point I have too much money tied up in these machines and not enough confidence in any...

💡💡💡It's all here. Hi All, As promised, I have come to a resolution following hours of research, watching my washer run with a flashlight, and taking pages upon pages of notes. It's moved way beyond the personal realm-- these problems are more global in scope. I have tried my best to leave no...

*used to lol I need a drink

Yeah, having a serious case of cognitive dissonance since I'm used being able to fix things. 🤞

Went over both drums w the sock...no rough spots or anything. There are other places pulling up on the seam--some are smaller than others and just starting out. We both think it's the washers spin cycle since it was on high spin and last few times we used medium. It wasn't particularly heavy as...

Latest casualty Did a FULL drum NORMAL load of towels on the towel setting and it ripped the seam apart for a good 12+ inches. It was my fav towel, only a few months old. It was balanced, with only towels, nothing weird, so you tell me it's user error. . Pic👇

The Duet sure does get things saturated almost immediately...pretty impressive. It would be nice to have an engineer's perspective on the baffles, I could go so far as to raise the question on Quora. I didn't see any sudsing on the door with this last wash. And everything pretty much stayed in...
