Ok, I have to do my own laundry now. Don't tell me to use Clorox and stuff, we don't EVER use that stuff, all we use is hand held stain removers, detergent, and downy softener. How do you wash WHITE CLOTHES? what detergent do you use, and do i use soap? and when i put them in the dryer, what do i put it on? Same for Coloreds, Jeans, Bedding, Sweats, White bathroom towels/washcloths, and colored bathroom towels/washcloths. and one more thing, sorry, what do you put the washer on? On my washer the settings are: Whitest whites, Heavy duty, normal/casual, delicate, hand washables. and like i asked for the dryer, the settings on my dryer are: heavy duty, Normal, bulky items, casual, delicate. Thanks!!!!!!!! remember, we only use detergent, downy, and sprayable stain removers, NOTHING ELSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

Wait a second here...you're telling us that you only use detergent, fabric softener and sprayable stain remover. So wtf are you even asking this question? Any advice that deviates from what you already do will be useless to you.

As for the washer settings:

whites=whites
delicate=delicates
heavy duty=heavy duty

...etc.

Answer 2

whites: Put your washer setting on whitest whites (should be hot water; whites should always be washed in hot water) let some water fill up a bit and add your detergent, I usually use like Tide with bleach alternative that you can use with whites and colored clothes. Once the water starts getting soapy add the white clothes. Does your washer have a small hole in the center to put the downy? If you do add a capful of downy in there; if not than you will have to wait for the rinse cycle when the water reaches all the way to add it to the cycle. Dry your whites on heavy duty. Put your clothes in the dryer once the complete wash cycle is complete. For dark clothes, I always seperate my jeans wash them together ; Shirts I do together; then I do my sweats, dark socks... together these types of clothes can be done in the normal cycle and dried on the heavy duty cycle especially the jeans they will dry faster. Bedding should be washed seperatley. White towels and washclothes you can follow the same directions as the white clothes; Make sure you empty the lint out of the dryer after every cycle. And don't forget the downy (rinse cycle for every wash)

Answer 3

I wash all whites together, white towels, socks and undergarments in hot water. I use a cap full of laundry soap, whichever brand you use ( I like tide or wisk) Use normal setting on the washer. Same with the dryer unless you have a larger load then use heavy.

Bedding should be washed alone and dried on normal.

I wash bathroom towels and jeans together in warm water and rinse in cold water. If I can make a large load for each then I do. The dryer setting should be heavy or bulky.

Wash a load of darks together, making sure there are no whites. You can use normal setting for washer and dryer and a cap full of your laundry detergent in warm water.

Basically, wash colored clothes together and lights together. You really don't have to wash in hot water. Warm water is good for all laundry. Pretreat stains first. Use a cap full of laundry soap. Wash on normal unless you have a larger load and dry on normal unless clothes are delicate or heavy.
Remember, never leave a load in the washer overnight. The clothes will smell and have to be rewashed.
Good Luck........

Answer 4

Hand held stain removers would take forever! I suggest you use detergent for everything...I don't understand why you don't use Clorox. Personally I use Cheer. Set non-white clothing/bedding/towels to normal/casual on your washer. For white clothes you use the same detergent (once again I suggest Cheer whites) and set it to Whitest Whites. If there is a huge stain that looks impossible to get out use Heavy duty. For the dryer use the normal setting for all clothes. Idk why you're making such a big deal out of this! Lol, hope I helped! (im only 13 but i know things)

Answer 5

its the same for everything the only thing changes is the amount of how much u put in and that depends on how much clothes u put in. if its a tough stain pour directly to stain and toss it in the washer. but just to let you know if u do use bleach ur white will come out white! while if u dont it kind of turns cream if u keep not using it!

Answer 6

You want to wash the whites in hot water. If there's a separate selector for water temperature choose hot/cold (hot wash, cold rinse). If the washer doesn't have separate knob for water temperature, then temperature selection is built in to the choices you listed. It's reasonable to assume "whitest whites" is hot water.

Answer 7

That Simone girl is a ********.
i just wash everything on normal. nothing red and white together. loads of all wites on hot, colors on warm or cold

Answer 8

I use oxyclean or biz detergent, i also add a box of baking soda to the water and that makes my clothes really white
