Hello! So... I have the worst washing machine ever, the Whirpool top loader with removable agitator and no detergent dispenser. There's a dispenser for bleach for cleaning it, though. I have to wash everything in deep water, otherwise things come out of the wash partly dry, in a sense they were never fully wet, lol. I believe it's the HE machine. I hate it, but I want to make it work. Our old front loader, which I liked died, and my lovely husband bought this atrocity unaware of how bad it is, so I really want to make it work.
Now, We don't really have issues with stinky clothes and such because we wash pretty much everything after one use, and we never use the fabric softeners. Since we got the machine a few months ago, we used either ECOS laundry sheets or ECOS free&clean fluid detergent. Clothes and sheets are fine, but I wanted to do better, so I got the 365 concentrated detergent with lipase.
Nothing dramatic happened, except all white stains from the deo came out on my black shirts 😃 It supposed to be not staining deo, and stains weren't there before I introduced lipase detergent.
I also just ordered a pack of the famous FEBU booster.
My plan is:
Normal wash in deep water and extra rinse with the 365 for everything, and 365 + a scoop of FEBU for sheets and towels. Then, 'quick wash' without any detergent, but 2 teaspoons of citric acid in lieu of a rinse. I know I can stop my machine, add citric acid, and start it again, but I'm not babysitting it.
Is this plan ok?
