Laundry soap

Tried the search and didn't find my answer.

Is there a special soap to use for the R/V washer/dryer or will any work fine.

We just use tide like we use at home. When one does a load you should have your gray water valve open. Sometimes i leave it closed and let it fill up a bit and the open it to flush the tank.

We are using the Purex One Sheet. It is soap and dryer sheet in one... D

Interesting, never heard of that brand before. Do you find that it works OK. My son is playing on a travel baseball team so it will be required to get out some dirt from a white uniform. I presume it is this one?

Is this product just made for the washer/dryer combo (1 unit) i have never seen it before also. Not sure how it would work in seperate units like at home?

[Ranger429]

Per the directions at Purex's site it states to transfer the sheet over to the dryer.

this could become another gas vs diesal, 1sheet vs 2 sheet tp
new vs slightly used thread

I use He as per directions just like at home it suds less you can use regular detergent just use a little less there are several brands of He detergent.

We also use an HE soap. Doesn't matter which brand. Almost all front load washers require the HE soap. Regular detergent can produce to much suds, and the HE is formulated for cleaning with low sudsing. Your manual should tell you if HE hsould be used.

We just bought a top loader for the stick house. The one without the center post agitator. It also requires HE soap.

I agree with Wayne - HE (high efficiency) soap for low suds in a front-loading washer. We used to use the special Splendide detergent, but it is very expensive. We now use Tide HE - half the price, and it works just as well.

[Ranger429]

HE is used at the house so that is what we will go with.

What we found was, DON"T USE VERY MUCH TIDE.

Like toe old commercials, "a little dab'll doit"

X2...our manual specifies HE soap and that's what we use.
