You're Probably Doing Laundry All Together Wrong

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

Jerome,

You can lead a horse to water, but ya cain’t make it drink! I suggest that you give up on trying to educate the hopelessly deluded people that insist upon doing their laundry in a hap hazard way.

America is still a free country, but for how much longer is anybody’s guess, there is no “state” mandate on how one MUST do their laundry. So with that in mind save your keystrokes and your breath and be happy to take satisfaction in knowing that you are washing your laundry in the proper way.

There will always be those that don’t agree with you. Learn to agree to disagree, you’ll be happier for it.

Doing laundry properly

Hi Jerome, when you read these articles that get everybody’s blood boiling do you reply to them all of these crazy people have areas where you can leave feedback this is where you should be spending your energy where people will actually read it and maybe learn from it.

Coming on this site and getting all worked up is a waste of time because you’re preaching to the choir. We all pretty much agree with you you’re not changing anyone’s mind cause nobody needs to have their mind changed.
 
comments section

Combo52, if there was a comments section, I'd love to post a comment on how laundry should get done. I just find it absurd reading that article, and yes it makes my blood boil. Oh, trust me, I'd probably be censored but I don't care at this point. Maybe I should take a break from using my keystrokes and let others on this site who haven't responded yet chime in and put their $0.02 in. I suspect they feel the same way as I do.

There are probably hundreds or thousands of them just running around wondering why their clothes didn't turn out the way they wanted, while others get compliments when someone walks up to them and notice how good they smell. While others do trial tests to see which one is better first trying the former long normal cycles, then the latter express cycles, only for them to be sorely disappointed so they go back to the longer tried and true normal wash and just use the machine as directed.
 
If Jerome continues to reply multiple times to where it’s mostly his replies and no one else’s, Robert may possibly consider on upgrading the software to where you’ll only be able to post 6 times (1 post for each forum index) a day. At most, I’ll probably will post 4 to 5 times a day, if that. Can’t remember a time where I kept replying to the same thread over and over. Usually if I reply multiple times in a thread, it’s usually to interact and engage with other people in the conversation, not to essentially spam the thread with my own replies trying to change one’s mind.
 
Re:#45

I see no need for Robert to go to the trouble of installing new software to prevent any member from posting more than one post per day in each forum. Why should other members be punished because of one member going on a tangent about a particular topic? If you don’t like the posts of a particular member there’s an easy solution, just don’t read them! Problem solved.

There are several members that make multiple post per day that are of value, why should they be silenced because of the actions of any other member that you don’t happen to agree with?

The question is how many of them are reading here on AW to get exposure to your posts on which you spend so much time and effort.

You're overlooking that the Corys and Karis are highly unlikely to notice any ojectionable odor from poor laundry habits.  Odor is effectively covered by the highly-scented products that you also tout.

All the linked articles above have either a comment section or a way to contact the author of the article or the editor of the site that carries it.

You need to establish a YouTube channel and a website, leverage the search engines, to get your word out.

Reply #49: Forgot about that. May possibly be a different software that can’t easily be upgraded.

Reply #47: Not necessarily saying Robert would go through the trouble to upgrade everything, but if it were possible and were at one’s disposal, possibly. Just trying to actually engage in the conversation as opposed to just going on a tangent..
 
GE laundry, Jesus Christ

I think you should probably try and learn and not let things get under your skin you should probably try to keep things clear and concise and throw up the main talking point as the subject instead of “ladder posting” It’s kind of what I did with my “does fabric softener lay the machine failure, or is that hogwash?” I’m not trying to sound mean, but instead of rambling on like a doctors signature, try and find what gets you fired up most onto that and then explain it clearly in a post, we don’t mind of how long it takes. Just as long as it’s clear, concise and to the point.

Also, in reply 54, I tend to think warm is around 35 to 40, lukewarm is in between 35 and 30, cool is under 30 And cold is under 25

(These are all in Celsius as I come from the land of Vegemite, not from the land of stars and stripes)
 
One thing I also wanted to add was people should treat

Doing laundry, the same way, as in cooking something, because if you set the oven for 15 minutes at 250°F you’re not really gonna be able to cook an entire chicken with that, so why should laundry be any different using cold and the express cycle with the minimalist amount of detergent?, You’re better off, using warm or hot water (cooking at 350°F) for the normal cycle, or if it’s really dirty heavy duty, (30 minutes for a small chicken, dodgeball sized, or an hour if it’s a really big bird

Also reply Number 41, the only place where I’ve known that there were state mandates on how laundry must be done was cholera in the UK, that was mainly for disinfecting laundry
 
what gets me fired up

What gets me fired up is getting super soiled laundry/clothes cleaned in 15 to 30 minutes on an express cycle, with an ounce of pure soap, and 80 degree F warm water which is unrealistic. Trying to do such a short cycle like that is like trying to clean yourself in a bath or shower barely trying to get the grime off of you or your clothes. It makes no sense. Or, it's like trying to clean your car in 30 seconds which is unrealistic, which in turn misses so many spots you're trying to clean. If I did that, chances are that the soil and odors will still be there. Call me old school, but I expect laundry to be looking, feeling and smelling right. If this guy wants to be gentle on fabrics, there's a cycle for that. If he's that much in a rush, then he should go to a laundromat where he'll get his clothes truly clean in 30 minutes or less. A pizza delivery will take that time.[this post was last edited: 3/2/2024-16:12]
