Totally random question - how do you work your washing machine?
I always turn on the water, then add the detergent and then the clothes.
My washer says to do detergent, clothes and THEN turn on the water
what do you do?

Re: Totally random question - how do you work your washing machine?
I have an HE washer, so the detergent goes into a little holder to the side and it the washer dispenses it when the cycle calls for it depending on the type of wash I do. I just load the clothes in, turn the power on, select the cycle, the soil level, the water temp, any extras I need and then start.

Re: Totally random question - how do you work your washing machine?
At my apartment, I do cloths, soap, put money in and the water fills. No choice really.
If I use a machine at a parent's house, I do water and soap, then add clothes as the water fills.

Detergent, a little bit of water to get the detergent to dissipate, then clothes, then fabric softener ball

Re: Totally random question - how do you work your washing machine?
It's wrong but clothes, put the cup of detergent sitting on top of the clothes, turn the machine on.

Re: Totally random question - how do you work your washing machine?
i have a front loading machine, i put in the clothes and close the door, add the
detergent, then turn on the water.
my mom always put in the clothes, turned the water on and then added the detergent (top loader)
my DH used to turn the water on, add the detergent and then put in the clothes (top loader)
i have never worn dirty clothes i didn't realize there was a "right" way to do it!

Re: Totally random question - how do you work your washing machine?
Throw the clothes in... put the detergent (and bleach and fabric softener, if needed) in the dispenser. Close door and press the start button. It's all automated - water won't start filling until the door is closed. I have an He front loader.
