I completely agree. Just look at the people looking for a magic bullet with laundry. It doesn't exist. If I was in the home of Patrick Richardson, I'd change the washer and dryer settings to what a normal prudent person would use. For example, cotton/normal for most everyday loads in the washer, normal cycle for the matching dryer, all while using the correct amount of laundry detergent and fabric softener, and bleach with whites, and at the right temp. Either cold or warm for darks depending on the weather, lights on warm regardless, and hot for whites. If it takes longer than 30 minutes maybe about an hour, so what? You can still watch tv. We can walk and chew gum at the same time. I don't know about you, but I've done it hundreds and thousands of times. I'm sorry, but I'm sticking with what common sense tells me. Common sense says routine washing is fine on the longer normal cycle for adequate results.
Watch how many complain about their laundry because of following a so-called "expert". I'm sure I won't be disappointed. As for during laundry before church, I can always return from church to finish the rest. How hard is it to do the laundry properly? The masses will complain because their laundry looked and smelled terrible from following this "laundry evangelist". Gee, I wonder why? Maybe because they don't read their manuals or ask questions. They just blindly believe what an "expert" says on tv. I can smell the most stinky unwashed or barely washed laundry from here just thinking about it. Unbelievable! Believe me, it's only gonna get worse! My dad would kill me if he found out that I did laundry like that, let alone have a fit! My mom wouldn't like that either, but especially not my dad! When I was growing up, we always used the longest heaviest cycle my washer had to muster knowing we as a family could produce smelly clothes especially summer. Sturdy cottons were the worst. And yes, I still hold true to what my dad says, even in my mom's front load lg which has the equivalent cotton/normal cycle.[this post was last edited: 2/28/2024-12:05]
