You are too funny Johnny.
I only have your old address, not the new Portland one.
Get it to me toute de suite and you'll have a nice shiny extra rinse switch by Friday to begin your experiment of "The Holy Perpetual Rinse."

Pretend it's yesterday
I wrote this on my way out--just like now--and forgot to press the post buzzer.
It's almost Friday, Johnny. Is your hand starting to twitch, itchin' to turn that extra rinse dial? "The mail must go through."

Mickey,
Of course my hand's twitching! I've got a load of whites that need bleach and extra rinsing! I'm not sure how much longer I can hang on!!!

Did today's mail arrive yet?
;'D

Mike,
I did get the knob you sent in the mail today. Thank you so much! However, I hate to say this but it's the actually switch I need. hehe...the part behind the panel. So if you need that knob for one of your machines I don't mind sending it back to you. I really do appreciate you doing that. Really so very nice of you! I'll locate a switch one of these days so no worries.

Hardly Ever...
...I carefully measure detergent (original Oxydol), and I very seldom use chlorine bleach since my partner died; it's not needed for its disinfecting abilities these days. OxiClean is pretty much sufficient now.
I have some skin sensitivity issues, but they're not centered around laundry products, and maybe that has something to do with my perception that I don't need a double rinse. I tend to trust good appliances to do their thing; I've never felt a need to micro-manage them the way my partner did. Now, there was a double rinser!
Me, I like a nice clean machine with a decent set of features, then I like to measure the products I'm using, then I want to set the cycle and walk away, blessing the sound of the machine doing the work while I do something else.

G'day, Mister Shinn
This is Sister Mary Dominatrix. Michael can't come to the phone right now because he's standing in the corner wearing The Dunce Cap for his tomfoolery.
He will reach you later. LOL.

Mike,
Absolutely
extra rinse every time for me
extra rinse every time for me
On my Electrolux by default it's 2 rinses, but you know me, my default is for 3!
"WARM Second (or Extra) Rinse!"
Not even a load that I HAVE to do this with, as a rule I DON'T!
And not just an EXTRA RINSE but an Extra (or Second) WARM RINSE...
Which is too bad that is only available with a Warm WASH, so some other time I will have to do a Hot Wash, and then go back to change the Temperature Selector's Rinse to Warm...
Yes, these clothes are going to feel VERY WARM,--EVEN HOT!--coming out, so just for kicks, show us yours...
Here is mine:

I don't use extra rinse, saving the planet here! lol
Selected an extra rinse on front-loaders when liquid chlorine bleach was involved; otherwise no.
I've found no reason to use an extra rinse with the top-loading Speed Queen---even with loads given a dose of bleach.
Aside: I'm filling the SQ with warm or hot water on the Heavy Duty cycle, then cancelling and selecting the Normal Eco cycle more often than I thought I would. I get a hot wash but cut way back on the total gallons used. Win-win! Now that I have to watch every gallon or risk overwhelming the Culligan switch-out tank, I've lost my fear of the much-maligned Normal Eco cycle. Never, ever with loads of bleached kitchen/personal whites, of course.
I've been washing loads of bath towels with Rosalie's Zero Suds and even those are doing fine on the Normal cycle.

Extra rinse here, too, and the fastest spin speed available.
With front load washers, yes I do an extra rinse, always have with FL's. The little 18 year old Miele does 4 rinses by default with no option for more and I'm fine with that.
When using an older top load (non h.e.) washer however, I do not do extra rinses, UNLESS... I added way too much detergent (only happened once) or what I'm washing was SUPER dirty. Just can't wrap my head around all the water they use, especially when filling the tub 3 times, plus the spray rinse.

I don't think anyone needs several rinses? I mean.. no offence but my laundry comes out fresh and clean.. No detergent residue or anything. I'm using an importen US/Australian TL washer, it first sprays the laundry in the rinse and then fills with water and that counts as one rinse. It looks like a lot of water having grown up with only FL washers but I do love a TL! Which are so hard to find in Europe
1) Calypso - don't use it much, usually for chlorine bleach on whites.
2) Neptune TL - a little more often but not on every load, always with bleach.
3) Intuitive Eco - sets per cycle to either of whatever is the default rinse, or two choices for Shower Rinse (if that isn't the default).
4) Intuitive Eco - four choices for default rinse on all cycles, except some cycles are "hardwired" for Double Deep. Muddy cycle runs two deep rinses and sprays in the final spin, plus a prewash (four water changes plus the sprays).
5) Whirlpool Gold - used Extra Rinse once that I recall.
