Isn't this the Bostonian Drunkard's wife?

How do you get rid of excess soap in a load of laundry?
   
You know how the detergents are quite concentrated now? The bottle says to fill to line 1 for regular loads, line 2 for large or heavily soiled loads. I'm doing a full load of towels, so I filled to line 2, even though I had a feeling I shouldn't have. Anyway, when my load was done, there was still a lot of soap left in the washer. When it's happened on occasion in the past, I've run the load through again with no (additional) soap and it's been fine.

Well, after the second go-round there was still a ton of soap left. It's almost finished with the third round now, and when I peeked in a while ago, it looked like there was still an awful lot of soap in there. I have a feeling there will still be soap when this load is finished. I'm not sure what to do. Am I going to have to keep washing this towels over and over again before they'll be done and free from soap? The towels are going to get worn out just in the wash. I also have another load of laundry to do, and at this rate, I'll still be running these towels through tomorrow.

Is there anything else I can do to get rid of the excess soap?

2. Thanks for the replly.
   
Somebody else told me that earlier tonight. I tried it and it worked. (Of course, it was also the fourth time I ran the load through the washer.

3. Wash the laundry again using only white vinegar (1 or 2 cups.)
   
I use cloth diapers for my baby and I always do a separate vinegar rinse after the wash/rinse/spin cycle. I also vinegar rinse his clothes and I only use free and clear type detergents. The vinegar takes out any dtergent residues and leaves the laundry super clean and fresh!

The DUmmie went against her own instincts to use less simply because the instructions told her to do so.  Okay, I can see this happening once or twice, but it sounds like this has happened many times before.  DUmmie start using less than the instructions say.

She's probably loading too many towels in at the same time.

I always have "2nd rinse" turned on, no matter what I'm washing. We have naturally soft water and it's harder to get the soap out. I tried using less detergent, but it didn't seem like the clothes were as clean as I want them.

I bought clorox HE washer cleaner before we moved. Every time I used it (you use it without soap) I would have to run the clean cycle a couple of times. I only cleaned the washer with it like three times before we moved but it looked like someone was taking a bubble bath in my washer after the first cycle (I normally use just bleach).  It looked and smelled like concentrated bleach.  The last time I added vinegar after the first clean cycle and I could see the suds were gone rather quickly during the 2nd time I ran it.

Well, but if it's the Bostonian Drunkard's wife--which I think it is--remember what she has to deal with.

The Bostonian Drunkard is kind of greasy; a skin problem.

Well, DUmmy kat45 was in that picture of the big CalPig Meat Up, sitting between the drunkard Pitt and some DUmmy called Pied Piper, and there
was no mention of whether she was with the drunkard or the other guy.

But I thought the drunkard or maybe his recently-shitcanned mother had described the lucky Mrs. Pitt as currently being almost wheelchair-bound due to some muscle or nerve malady, and DUmmy kat45 doesn't look much like the lucky lady in the drunkard's wedding pictures:

Of course, in the wedding photographs, the Bostonian Drunkard's bride was wearing a tattoo on her back, but that was obviously one of those "temporary" stick-on tattoos ridiculously in vogue at the moment.

Also, the first thing that came to mind when inspecting the photographs of the meat-up with the CalPig primitive, I was struck by Kat45's face; it's obviously that of a person with some sort of neuro-muscular disorder, her peculiar sort of grimace.

I'll bet the Kat45 primitive is the Bostonian Drunkard's wife, in which case the heart bleeds for her; surely she could've done better.

I have a top loader machine, and I am forever telling my son that if he doesn't stop overloading the washer when he does his laundry, he's going to be buying me a new machine.  :argh:  Clothes will not get clean when crammed to the brim, and the machine can't agitate or whatever it does, properly. There also has to be enough water in there for the clothes to float a bit, not soak up every drop and be a huge glob of wetness.

Hmmm....I have been wanting a front loader though...maybe I shouldn't tell him.... :whistling:

Unless you travel around the house on a mechanic's creeper, don't even consider a front loader without the pedestal. The price of a front loader pedestal is crazy, but worth it

The front loaders came out not long after I got a new top loader. I've had to get 2 new dryers since, first because we moved and I had to get a gas dryer, then when we moved last fall, I had to switch back to an electric. I ended up getting a new washer about a year after I got the gas dryer...when I suggested that we get an all new set of the front loaders instead of a new electric....I got nowhere.  :bawl: Now I have a washer that is about 4yo. and a dryer that is 1yo. Those suckers aren't going to die for years.  :banghead:

I agree, I didn't have pedestals with my front load washer/dryer (we sold them to the people who bought our house). I thought I didn't want them. I have been using my mom's washer/dryer since we got here (with pedestals) and when we buy new ones, I WILL get pedestals.
