This seems to become a growing problem. Many things now say "Machine wash cold" or "gentle cycle" or "do not use fabric softener" or a combination of those 3 or ALL of the above. First of all. I use Liquid Snuggle FS blue sparkle. I use 2.0 oz at most for any load except for active wear. Second Cold is not good for my LG or Neptunes or Calypso or any HE machine for that matter. Consistently running the delicate/hand wash cycle is also not good for the machine. This conflict with these tags annoys me so much. Especially when my sister wants something washed. she always makes me abide by the tag even though I care more for the machine. sometimes I don't even bother to run a load of her stuff, I wait for her to go to school for the day then I run the load when she is at school then lie about doing the Delicate cycle on cold even though I actually did the normal cycle on warm. Sometimes when she needs something done urgently. If it is a tiny load. I refuse to run it. I also always refuse to use cold period. Unless it is a load of stuffed animals/plush toys. Sometimes I run the load anyway and sometimes she screams at me and I get punished. Once when she wanted me to wash her "stitch" Pajamas for a pajama day at school the next day. I started the load and put it on warm and left it normal and ran delicate due to it being a fleece material. then she begs me to put it on cold. I retaliated and engaged the child lock. then watched (secretly laughing inside) her tamper with my LG WM2277HW for 20 whole minutes ( the entire wash cycle) trying to figure out how to disable the child lock. when all she had to do is press the power button then restart the load. I sometimes want to eradicate this problem by getting the intuitive panels for my Fisher&Paykel GWL11 and DEGX1 and convert them to IWL12 and DEIX2. So the intuitive's computer is incharge and figures out the load for me. so no more begging to wash on delicate the machine will decide. I always inspect each and every item before putting it in the machine for areas that the normal cycle might mess up. if there is none I run it in normal. if there is then I put it in the worldwasher on delicate. I told my parents all about this and I never get punished unless my sister gets involved. I really hate my sister and this "machine wash cold, gentle cycle" bullcrap. Sometimes my sister uses profanity at me too! Rant over. base your opinion below.
