grime
Apparently, this so-called "expert" hasn't gotten the memo that using the smallest dosage leads to poor cleaning as well as using express for filthy sweaty loads. I could see overnight washing or soaking for the worst loads, but that would be in the most extreme cases. I do agree with him on using warm water, but color groups and fabric types have to be taken into consideration. I do use the suggested cottons cycle or a varying name like regular or normal not the eco one, just the heavy duty cycle on Speed Queen because I take cleanliness VERY seriously. I have to question his scientific methods.
What ever happened to plain old common sense? Not everything will be completely clean with just 2 tablespoons. I've learned that the hard way. As my dad would say, "We don't do lightweight washing around here when it comes to laundry." Back to the grime, people who take Patrick Richardson's advice are not washing away any grime in their clothes, let alone their machines.
Think about all the smells that are left behind using his "products". I don't believe what his book says, nor do I want to read that stupid book. I could just see people complaining about mold, mildue, and skin issues down the road and using his methods that waste time. I've also heard that he recommends using vodka in the laundry which I suspect will make this worse while trying to cover up the grime when in reality, makes it look worse. Oh well, perhaps I'm already getting cranky in my early 30's. 30 minutes is not enough unless the washer in question has turbo wash technology with powerful water recirculation jets and a powerful fresh water rinse jet. I could just imagine people throwing away their clothes sooner than later due to following that stupid advice. So, you're not really saving money as led to believe. Oh, and more cleaning cycles all because people don't read their actual owner's manuals and follow the recommendations set forth by the manual. I shouldn't have to keep bringing that up, but some people just don't get it. Chetlaham, I know how you feel. I'm old school when it comes to doing laundry, and it should be done the right way. Maybe I'm tripping and losing my mind, but washing clothes with heavy ground-in dirt and stains with just 2 tablespoons of soap will not come out or even work, period.
Maybe it's just me, but I'm losing my head, stuck in my bed over stupidity like this. Idiocy like this will get people sick with skin rashes, legions, deadly and harmful bacteria, etc. I use a real laundry detergent, fabric softener, and chlorine bleach in the proper quantities and use the correct cycle. Enzymes need time to work. No exceptions. I must say no more...[this post was last edited: 9/8/2024-18:32]
