Clothes then soap. For really dirty clothes I sometimes fill half full with clothes, add a little soap then put the rest of the clothes then more soap.

I put clothes in first and then soap but I use liquid soap almost always. If I ever use powders I ALWAYS put poder in first and let fill up a bit and then swish to make sure it's all dissolved and THEN add clothes. My pet peeve (Why I use liquid soap) is undissolved laundry detergent still in my clothes. I hate this and what a waste of energy to have to wash clothes again. My mom would pack our washer to the rim and then pour in some powder and close it up and there was always detergent still in the clothes. Drives me crazy!

I used to do the latter but now I let some water get in the machine then add soap add clothes then more soap. I usually do Super large loads and I don't think that one cup is gonna cut it. Don't foget the fabric softner and color safe bleach. And if you go to the coin laundry a drop of dettol or pinesol as a disinfectant from the people who used the machine before you.

I put clothes then soap because I judge how much soap I need by how many clothes I have in the machine.

I start running the water - then add soap. It has a little time to mix, and then I throw in the clothes.

you are supposed to fill up washer and put soap in and let it swish and I know this - I do but I don't do that. I put the clothes in, throw in some detergent andfabric softener and then I am off... but now I can't do that anymore cause I live in an apt and the washer works so you put the clothes in, then you pour detergent and whatever else in the slots on the side and then you put your $ card in and then it washes - best way is water first, swish soap and then clothes so the detergent doesn't stain clothes and so it is well distributed but I lazy

I have to put the clothes in, close the door, and then put the soap in...if I do it the other way around the soap will drain out through the front and onto my floor (because I have one of those front-loading washers)

Put the soap in first,let the washer fill and start to agitate,then add the clothes.This gives the soap a chance to dissolve ,and not "cake up",especially when using cold water.
