After first washing do use use laundry detergent for future washing?

I have continued NOT to use laundry detergent and just follow the instructions. So I can say, with my new washing machine, that they come out definitely cleaner -- and they never smell -- So I assume the Manufacturer's method works pretty well. RI

I only us hot water and a little detetgent.Or a little white vinger kills any order.

Before I wash it each time, I hang it us and spray it with a hose. Then I only use minimal detergent. Yes. Use soap

The instructions said to use in the washing machine. I believe you will be not get the full strength of the product by just soaking. Do not use with detergent.

I just purchased and installed the WM2016CW washer. As a complete newb to the front-loader universe, I set out to run the first load of laundry. I was rewarded with water and suds all over the floor. I called customer service in a panic and the rep told me I probably added too much detergent. Fair enough. Crisis averted. She then went on to lecture me that the WM2016CW is not meant to be used with liquid detergent (even if it's HE). She said it should only use powdered detergent. I referred her to the manual and LG's own website which explicitly state that you can use either in the machine. I'm not sure who to believe, but according to at least one LG customer service rep, the detergent of choice should be powdered.

Label: "1.Use only oversized commercial front-loading washing machine with a rotating drum action. Do not use top-loading agitator style machines. 2. Wash warm. Rinse cold on gentle cycle using 1/4 cup mild detergent. Use fabric softener in wash. (Do not use detergents with bleach.) 3. Tumble dry at low temperature in an oversized commercial dryer. 4. Alternative method: Hand wash in bathtub. Follow instructions as in #2. 5. Bag must be thoroughly dry before being rolled and stored." So, it's high maintenance to wash this. But I think it's worth it.

We recommend washing the towels before the first use. First, a wash will remove any impurities that the towels may have acquired during transportation and storage (it is always a good rule to wash any linen before using it). Second, the towels will become softer and more absorbent after a couple of washes, and will lose any remaining lint. We recommend washing in either hot or cold water and with or without bleach (at the customer's preference). We recommend drying in low heat to minimize shrinking. However, many customers choose to dry in high heat either out of convenience (with other linens) or because they believe it results in cleaner towels.I hope this helps.LisaLiliane Collection We recommend washing the towels before the first use.

I use it directly on the fabric and let it set for at least an hour before washing. Repeat if necessary.IF ANY PRODUCT CAN GET THE JOB DONE THIS IS THE ONE. Also if you have Dawn detergent add some to the spot as it helps also.Good Luck!

No, not at all. I washed my newest set before using them for the first time & they did great. I have a set that I've had for about 12 years now that are still perfect.

I found them to be fine after washing. I washed them with a regular load of laundry (front load) with the same methods and detergents regularly used.Nothing feels as good as when you first get them, but I was definitely satisfied with the product following the washing.Good Luck.Leon

according to the puracy website "Can I use this on delicate garments and denim?Yes. We have successfully tested the 4x liquid detergent on silk, premium denim, wool, and other fine fabrics. Always follow manufacturer's instructions for the garment you intend to clean." ...So possibly? I only do basic washing.

Good question. All I can tell you is there is no residue or stickiness after the load. Since this is not a chemical it doesn't need to be "rinse". My daughter's skin react to regular detergent that are rinsed but not to these natural berries. My clothes are cleaned and smells good without the feeling of not being rinsed. That's all I can tell you.

I don't think so , they will be out of the liquid that complement the action of the towels. So if you use it after washing it, you should not expect it to do the same job.

You can washwith detergent and dry them once. Over the next washes absorbancy will increase some. You can hang dry or in the dryer, whatever you like. I recommend http://www.fluffloveuniversity.com/ to get yourself off with a proper wash routine. :)

Arnold, thanks for your question. These towels are pretty tough, and last a long time typically. Having said that, it is always best to wash most fabrics in cooler water, as modern detergents work well in cooler water. Drying at any temperature will be fine. As others pointed out, the MAIN thing is not to use fabric softener or bleach. If possible, wash with other microfiber products, or things that do not normally leave lots of lint in the machines, because the ultra fine microfiber threads tend to grab the loose lint from the other cloth, so their lint will stick to the Guzzling Giant.

I washed with fragrance-free hand-wash detergent first and noticed no smell with use.

I use the product solely on my clothes/underwear. I use regular detergent for everything else. Live the smell and I keep it just for me!
