Washers....
Got out the Hoover TT a few days ago, what with it not being used in a *VERY* long time felt it was being neglected. That and having learned if things are left too long seals in drain pump tend to dry out.
Was doing just two sheets and a duvet cover. The Miele often has problems balancing such a "small" load. It will bang, clang and otherwise register its unhappiness, so with an eye towards preserving the suspension system.... Well that and have been clearly told after the last $$$ repair bill, that if Big Bertha becomes ill again, that will be it as am warned off sinking any more money into.
Anyway did the wash using Tide liquid detergent. Not the "HE" sort, but regular (does it matter?) and noticed something interesting.
As one would expect the spinner loved not coping with all the froth that comes from high sudsing detergents. But rinsing overall was a treat! Took only two deep rinses (with a spin between each) in the main tub before water was coming out clear from the hose.
Have to admit part of the fun in using a TT is all that froth, but may have to rethink.
Did some washing in the Maytag wringer a week or so ago, again using the same Tide liquid, and noticed the same thing. Rinsing was achieved using far less water and effort than with a high sudsing product.
Considering one has a rather large stash of vintage high dilution (but also high froth)detergents that one was saving for TT or wringer use, this could put a completely different complexion on things.
Going by videos on Youtube it seems many use high froth detergents in their wringer or twin tubs.
