Thanks Berg, I will give it one last try with the lemon juice. Do you put that in the fabric softener tray?]]> Wed, 07 Oct 2009 21:00:34 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29180&PID=799306&title=front-load-washing-machine#799306 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29180&PID=799291&title=front-load-washing-machine#799291 Author: Berg19

I have a frontloader and use soapnuts. Im really pleased with the outcome, i put a few drops of tea tree oil in the bag before i put the load on and comes out smelling like tea tree. I learnt after the first wash i need to tie the bag very tight to stop them falling out but after that they have been great.

Treen it says on the instruction manual thing they don't have whitener in them so you adding a cup of lemon juice every now and then helps with the stains and general whitening. they wash the discharge off my undies.. TMI! ]]> Wed, 07 Oct 2009 20:54:53 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29180&PID=799291&title=front-load-washing-machine#799291 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29180&PID=797413&title=front-load-washing-machine#797413 Author: Treen

Cuppatea – I hate my frontloader! I can't wait till we sell the house and I can go back to a top loader.

First, I've used soapnuts in mine if that's the same thing? A lot of people rave about them but I don't find them to be any good. They just don't seem to clean IMHO. I used them for about 2 months before I gave up on them. I found they didn't remove odours or stains and warning, TMI, but discharge still on panties? Urm not good! Their skins would also flake off and come out of the bag and all over my washing no matter how tight I would tie the bag.

Has anyone tried a homemade washing powder in their front loader? I'm too scared in case the washing soda crystals get lodged in the pipes or something. Front loaders and modern appliances don't seem to be as robust as they were back in the day. ]]> Tue, 06 Oct 2009 12:02:24 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29180&PID=797413&title=front-load-washing-machine#797413 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29180&PID=797307&title=front-load-washing-machine#797307 Author: first

Well I'm happy with the outcome of the clothing so I guess its using enough water to get them clean.
What a surprise at just how little they used.
Thanks for all the replies I know it was a bit of a random question.

Anyone use washberries in their frontloader??]]> Tue, 06 Oct 2009 10:51:30 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29180&PID=797307&title=front-load-washing-machine#797307 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29180&PID=797094&title=front-load-washing-machine#797094 Author: cuppatea

Yeah not much water is normal. I stuff mine...lol. Never had any trouble, have always had a front loader (they don't have top loaders in the UK, no idea why they have them out here, there horrid.)]]> Tue, 06 Oct 2009 06:45:49 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29180&PID=797094&title=front-load-washing-machine#797094 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29180&PID=797090&title=front-load-washing-machine#797090 Author: AandCsmum

My frontloader doesn't seem to use a lot of water, still my clothes are so much cleaner than they ever were in a toploader.]]> Mon, 05 Oct 2009 22:28:40 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29180&PID=797061&title=front-load-washing-machine#797061 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29180&PID=796901&title=front-load-washing-machine#796901 Author: Treen

Hi First,

I have one. They use much less water than a top loader. I'd say mine looks like it's 1/3 full of water when it's on. You do have to be careful you don't overload them, though. I kinda place my washing in. I make sure I don't stuff it in tight, like I used to with a top loader.]]> Mon, 05 Oct 2009 20:08:13 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29180&PID=796901&title=front-load-washing-machine#796901 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29180&PID=796650&title=front-load-washing-machine#796650 Author: first

For those with one of these. How much water can you see sloshing around in the machine while its washing?
I just got one and it looks like it just wets the clothing but thats it. didn't think I over filled it.
