Interesting thread... we're in the market for a new washer/dryer so there was a lot of helpfull information.
As for detergent, Who remembers the cartoon/science show "The Magic School Bus"? One episode dealt with the topic of soap and water and what REALLY cleans. It is NOT the soap. The soap only acts as a luge to help the dirt "slide off". It is THE WATER that actually cleans. So I have (practically since age 11 when my mother walked me down to the basement and taught me how to do laundry) been using A FRACTION of detergent in the laundry. Also not all brands clean the same. Many will fade the color right out of your clothing in one/two washes.
