After filling the machine with true hot or warm water via the Whites or Heavy Duty cycle, I switch to the Normal Eco cycle for everything except my weekly huge load of kitchen and personal whites, which gets a larger dose of Persil ProClean 2-in-1 plus Clorox. Depending on the dose of both chlorine bleach and detergent, I'll sometimes opt for an extra rinse.
I've had no problems with skin irritation, nor do clothes feel like they still have detergent in them when transferring to the dryer. I realize I'm in the minority on this issue, but I certainly wouldn't use the spray rinses if they were causing any problems.
This does mean I have to go back to the washer and reset the cycle after the wash fill, but I'm saving a lot of softened water for the minor inconvenience. Almost as good as having a suds-saver.
Bath towels are washed in very hot water with Rosalie's No Suds; 2 scoops for a medium load; three for large/extra large.
Having said that...the local SQ dealer has a 2017 stainless steel front-load pair on the floor. The last set he has. Although I've grown to like my 9 Series top loader, I've always preferred front-loaders, so that SQ pair may find a new home in my laundry space.
