2nd Time I’ve Oversuds the Asko

[Unimatic1140]

The first time I used this detergent it oversuds the Asko doing a Boil Wash. I thought it was just an anomaly that time, this is the second time I’ve used this same detergent and I oversuds the Asko again! I’ve never oversuds the Asko using any American HE detergent before. It was so bad that quite a bit of suds came out of the detergent drawer and ran down the side of the machine.

The detergent I used is one of those on top of the machine, care to guess which detergent I used????

How much did you use? and I would say Soap Flakes...

 

[westytoploader]

Time to grab the Downy...

Oh no!! Although using the Mexican detergents, I've oversudsed the Dual-Tumble with a cold water load! To make things worse, I didn't have any softener handy that time around either!

Was it the British Fairy or Daz?

 

[maytagbear]

My guess--

If it's gotta be sudsy, it's gotta be Tide!

I really doubt if Dash would be like that.

Pretty funny, Robert, though you might not have been laughing when you were mopping up!

My vote is for .........

The Fairy!

Hi Robert,
I would guess Daz as it suds a lot in my Dyson.

All the best.

Ask(o) and I shall

guess: Fairy

 

[Unimatic1140]

I Followed the Directions Exactly

As for Chris question on how much I used, I used exactly what the package said I should use for the load size and type of washer.

Keep the guess coming!

In Case You Are All Wondering

Here is what the first rinse looked like, and by the way, in the Asko, no spin between wash and first or second rinse.

Interesting...I'm still going with the British detergents...I know Tide takes more than 1 rinse to get out!

 

[compwhiz128]

I say, Oxydol

 

[spiraclean]

Hi Robert,
Since you say the Asko has no spin between the wash and first or second rinse by what I can see in the first rinse it’s extremely unlikely to be either Daz or Fairy as there would be way more suds. Did you kill the suds with softener at all?

All the best.

Hello,

"I used exactly what the package said I should use"

And what was that?

 

[appnut]

Robert, since you don't keep up with "modern" stuff, I'll do a generalizatrion of what is discussed on the laundry forum and modern front loadrs & dosages. Unless the load is FILTHY, the full dosage is no needed. Maybe 1/2. And I"m taling about HE detergents. More suds are produced the hotter the water. So, scale back. Euro detergents are formulated for significantly different hard water conditions than what you have in Minnie, from what I remember. Bob

I'm going to go with the Daz! I say this for two reasons:

1) In my initial assumption, I narrowed it down to Daz or Fairy. Through the process of elinimation, I would eliminate Fairy because from the picture it seems that the box of Fairy tabs is unopened. (Besides, would you really want to use a non-bio on towels?) LOL.

2) What made the Brit detergents the culprit in my mind was the comment you made about following the dosing directions exactly. From my experience, only 1/2 or less of the recommended dosage is needed of Brit detergents in a FL with an internal heater. I guess there is a HUGE difference in water hardness between the US and the UK. We are said to have "hard water" where I live, yet I cannot dose my Daz, Ariel, Bold or Persil according to the directions on the box. Otherwise, SUDS LOCK! I will use 1 tab of Daz or Ariel in the main wash and get plenty of suds!

However, IF BY CHANCE I am wrong, and it was that big, bad box of OXYDOL that caused the problem, feel free to send it to Texas and I'll make sure it NEVER causes problems in your Asko again! LOL

Re: Detergent Used Guess:

Hi! Robert, I would guess that you either used the Cold Water All or the Wisk, I know that even if we were as careful as possible with Wisk, when I was helping my Mother and when I was later on my own, if we would get a little too much in the Load, it would really Sudz-Up.

Otherwise, I would guess the Tide or the All/Powder.

Peace and Happy ASKO Washing, Steve

I had noticed in the Deluxe Discussion a topic on oversudsing a Frigidaire F/L. Today must be the day for suds. I'll guess Tide Coldwater Glacier scent (though I didn't see that in selection you had), and about 1/2 of the scoop. I hope my bearing holds up!

What you're not seeing in the picture is a queen size comforter.

 

[whirlcool]

I am going to guess you used the Tide. Using 1/2 the recommended amount in my Whirlpool TL will almost always have suds coming out of the top of the machine. And 10 rinses won't make a differece, you'll still have sudsy rinse water!

Tide = Ultimate Sudsing!

 

[mayken4now]

Ok that does it.

Rinses are suppose to RINSE, not SUD as I so often do in my FL.

It is the Tide. Even the HE does it.

Drives me crazy.
