in many of the comments i see you are suppose to put them in and fill with water but the new front load washing machines don't work that way, ??

I have a Samsung front load washer and tossed the product in. Each time, despite using HOT water cycle, the product left a goey mess on some articles of clothing. I ended up giving them away to someone who had a top loader and loved the product.

I think it will work just fine.. When the basket gets full and start to move it will dissolve and it will be ok.. It doesnt dissolve as soon u put it in water!! It also say so on the package that u can use it with front load washer

They just don't fit properly. It is as though you need extra washers. The poor translation of instructions from Chinese are not a help either. Sorry!

I would think no, they're wrapped in plastic. Also, the washer is going to use just as much water even if it's only half full so the detergent would be too diluted.

I also have a front loading HE washer. The soap nuts work great in it. You do need to use warm water, if using cold, soak the soap nuts in warm water first to activate them.

It's not the best washer. When iyou start it you need to give it time before it starts to work.

I had this problem. Most likely, you put the wrong washers in the different parts of the hook up. Switch the washer in the bottom parts around. They may be backwards as well.

You don't have to fill them, the rain fills them tight, it's kind of cool how that works. Then that rain inside there forms the barrier for more water coming and keeps it out.

I use warm water on a regular wash cycle. I don't machine dry them, seems like I saw somewhere not to, also not to use hot water, though that might be your first instinct. Most of the time they're completely dry in a couple hours when I hang them over a chair to dry, outside drying is great if your weather permits it.

It is good to get them going in hot/warm water to speed the release of soap but not absolutely necessary. For a very large or dirty load I usually soak them in hot water a bit before I add them. Some times I'll just stick them in the washer let it run a little warm water and then put the clothes in before I turn it on cold and start it so they had a minute to warm up. But actually I went a year just throwing them in the cold water load directly, I guess I just started heating them when I read something suggesting it but they always worked fine before and lasted longer. I try to make a concentrate sometimes but then I use way more than I need too and waste it because it seems weird to only need a spoonful :) do keep in mind if you get stains you will need spot cleaner, these do general cleaning well but stains need a little extra effort.

I wouldn't put the covers in my washing machine as they are to bulky. I spray the covers with fantastic and just hose them off. That works for me.

Sure. I run the throughl the washing machine and then hang to dry. No problems so far. Dish soap should even be easier on them

No, ours came perfectly and work great! They do not have much water, but they're not supposed to.

I agree with Beth - these need to lay flat on top of the drain. If you have no stopper in there & it is centered & can lay flat then it will work. Hope this helps - good luck!

To Carol J. Moore. I noticed the first time I used mine that if the dirty water intake part is not put on perfectly, the machine will not suck out the water. I, too, thought the machine had quit working but fiddle with the fit, make sure it clips own low and tight on the front so you will get a good suction. It is easy once out get the hang of it, but csn be confusing.

Yes! They don't work if you don't soak them. It is sort of like a water bath.

You have to use purified water. They dont look even close to the picture in shape or looks.
