I wonder why:
they just don't clean our young children's clothes well enough so we had to get some newer units?
Maybe they just don't know what Laundry products they actually need to use for specific needs of types of Laundry and Stain Removal...
I've been using a Rinse & Spin on my Whites, using Hot Water as a first Fill Soak on my LG Compact Combo. I put some Detergent and Detergent Booster in the Dispenser and I let it Fill with Hot Water for a Soak. I let it Tumble the Laundry for approx 3-minutes, then I shut it off and allow the items to Soak for 1/2 hour. I then re-set the Rinse & Spin and set Cold Water for the complete Rinse & Spin Cycle. Ever since I experimented doing this, I've never had to Pre-Treat for Stains and everything comes out without any Stains.
I then re-set for the Perm-Press Cycle {higher Water Fill and real good Tumbling}for the full Cycle. I then do a Spin only at 1400-rpm before putting items in my Kenmore Compact Dryer, to shorten the length of time for Drying.
This might take quite a lot more time to do this Load of Laundry, but in the long run, I feel that I'm saving on not still needing several extra Pre-Treating products any more.
Peace and Great Laundry Cleaning, Steve
