We recommend the RULE OF TWOS concerning the usage of laundry products.
Use no more than TWO TABLESPOONS of detergent in either the pre-wash or the main wash cycles.
Use no more than TWO TEASPOONS of softener or bleach.
While some HE laundry detergents suggest the use of as much as 4 ounces per load, this is entirely too much detergent for the LG machines. It will leave detergent film on your clothes, causing them to be dull and dingy. Over time, using too much detergent and softener will cause a thick film to build up on the inner surface of the tub. This buildup may become so thick it causes friction when the drum rotates, which will cause a malfunction of the machine. It may also generate a foul odor. While the use of a cleaning agent, like one designed to remove the soap scum from a whirlpool bath, will sometimes help, the best way to resolve this issue is to disassemble the machine, separate the tub halves, and use a pressure washer to remove the build up. This is costly, and LG recommends using the appropriate amounts of detergent and other laundry additives to prevent such an occurrence.
Due to the design of the machine, LG does not recommend using it to soak or dye clothing, nor do we recommend the use of various laundry additives such as enzyme pre-soaks, detergent boosters, borax additives, bluing, and others. LG further does not recommend the use of the extra thick or ultra products. The liquid laundry products should flow like water rather than ooze like molasses.
