So thanks for posting it...I somehow only did that for "special cases" in the other (agitator-style washer), where regular MFs and cotton towels were unusually grungy, and was thus missing out (and spending a lot on detergent).
BUT...I gotta figure out the correct, still-effective minimum, amount of Dawn to use. I was using *FAR* less than one ounce (and diluted it with water for uniform dispersal), and I`m not kidding about how I had to repeatedly rinse `em; it wasn`t just four or five warm rinses by a long shot! That was one way that the MF detergents do work better, they rinse out a lot easier.
