does your washing machine have a spin cycle on it? maybe do that after a gentle wash before drying. I agree with you about some of these newer machines not being the greatest sometimes. The biggest problem with them is that they are all water saving machines (which I like when I am washing things I don't particularly need to be careful with) but more water is better for fabrics you want to protect. |

Also, have front loading machines always been low water machines? I think that is not a good quality for my uses. I just hope when I do have to replace my machine not all top loading machines will be low water use. I am afraid it will be like the XXXX low water toilets, mandatory now.

| Budgy, or anyone else, do you think they are going to do away with washing machines that use full water loads and replace with the water conserving washers just like the toilets? The toilets now are mandated by the government(?) to only sell the water conserving toilets that take 5 flushes to make work. I have read reviews on the washers that conserve water and they don't clean as well. |
| I really haven't done enough looking into the matter to answer. I wonder if there are specs from the manufacturers that tell people exactly how many litres of water are used for different wash settings and things like that. There has to be a way to find out, I saw for Christmas my step dad just got my mom a $3800 maytag washer dryer....they are huge and I would assume they use more water than my small front load. |
