What 2019 Brought: Complete Change In Laundry Habits

Automatic Washer - The world's coolest Washing Machines, Dryers and Dishwashers

Help Support :

I use the Normal Eco cycle all the time for small to medium-sized loads with no rinsing issues. I always fill the washer with true warm or hot water using the Heavy Duty cycle, then reset it to Normal Eco after the wash fill.

Haven't found the machine to be too hard on fabrics even when overloaded with my 4-in-1 loads.
 
Mark-- I started to use Normal Eco after moving to an apartment in the summer of 2017. Culligan changes a water-softening tank once a week for my apartment. I'm not a fan of the local hard water. A tank softens approximately 750-800 gallons of water. Using the Normal Eco cycle helps ensure I don't use more water than that each week. I often shower twice a day and run the dishwasher at least once a day, too.
 
New Laundry Habits

Hi Eugene, everything you write and are doing makes perfect sense, doing larger loads works very well and saves energy and your time as well.

 

The machines will differently last longer and have fewer service calls if slight overloading causes you to do fewer loads every month, these are commercial machines after all, when they have coin-boxes on them people pack them full constantly.

 

Of the hundreds of SQ TL washers we sold to our customers I would guess that at least 1/2 of the users are using the Normal-Eco cycle almost all the time and we have never had a complaint about about rinsing performance.

 

I have always washed very large loads myself, I generally go a month before doing laundry and wash 7-9 loads all in about 2 hours using 4 or 5 washers and three gas dryers. I wash around 10 pairs of my jeans in a load, 20 or more tee shirts etc to a load.

 

By waiting this long I can sort better and reuse the wash water from the lighter clothes to wash the jeans and just plain have the fun of watching all the machines at the same time. [ My first partner always wondered why I stayed in the basement almost the whole time the machines were running, LOL. ]
