HE Laundry Questions & Answers! (Clean My Space)

I've got to tell you washing machine questions come in fast and furious here at the CMS HQ what does high efficiency mean how much detergent do I need to use why do I need a new detergent do I use hot water do I use cold water yeah I hear you guys I am going to help clear up this issue once and for all you are going to be high efficiency experts I've got a two-part series on this very topic so let's get cracking first of all what is high efficiency high efficiency washers or aichi washers have been designed with more technology than the first spaceship that was launched to visit the moon true story now the idea is the machine can sense the amount of clothing ho soiled the clothing is and how much detergent is present to create the most efficient wash as in getting your clothes the cleanest while using the least amount of resources in designing aichi machines using less water was a very important component of design the challenge is our laundry habits haven't quite caught up to this new technology yet see were used to dumping a ton of detergent in the wash thinking that is going to get our clothes cleaner but what's actually happening is the extra detergent is leaving too many suds behind which trap the very dirt your machine is trying to rinse away the machine which can sense when suds are gone now kicks in to extra rinse cycles to get those extra suds out and this can tack on an average of 25 minutes to your wash time and use on average an extra 10 gallons of water so don't blame your machine it's just time to rethink your laundry routine and your laundry detergent which brings me to another frequently asked question why do you need a specific detergent here's the deal old machines used a ton of water and with that the soap which was used was formulated to work in a lot of water now laundry detergent has been re-engineered to be low sudsing and work effectively in this new high-efficiency environment the more said to have belong here in cycle will be and the more dirt will be redeposited back onto your clean clothing which is why they end up looking dingy also that extra detergent hangs around in your machine and that ends up making it stinky how do you know what kind of detergent to use and how much to use when it comes to picking a detergent and I've done a lot of research on this topic there is actually a difference in high efficiency products now it all goes back to suds products which are low sudsing are the clear winners here let me show you I'm going to take two high efficiency laundry products and I'm going to pour the same amount into a squeeze bottle then I'm going to fill that with water now I'll shake them up and try to squirt out the sides now that we've shaken these up we're going to let them sit and settle down for 30 seconds if these squirt bottles mimic your washing machine squirt bottle number two has significantly more bubbles left behind in it which means I will have to add more water and squirt it out several times before I actually get rid of all these bubbles so imagine what that's doing to your rinse cycle whereas bottle number one actually has no bubbles left so it doesn't need any more of in cycles suds technology who knew let me show you that again this time I'm going to use mason jars so that it's a little easier for you to see what I'm talking about here's detergent number one again and here's detergent number two I'm going to add some water into these mason jars shake them up let them chill out for about 30 seconds dump them out and we can see exactly what I'm talking about you saw it here first product number 2's mason jar needed to be rinsed three times so not only did it take more time it also used up much more water and it's still not even clean interestingly product number one has suds which fizzle out quickly like soda and don't need any extra rinsing so number two is a popular high efficiency detergent and number one is tide HD turbo which is a very cool product that is designed specifically to work using quick collapsing smart suds technology which is basically a fancy way of saying that the suds are way smaller and pop superfast this is actually genius and the results get you cleaner clothes in less wash time using fewer resources I like if you see this Tide HD turbo logo you will know that this very technology is in the product and tide is rolling this out with pods powder and liquid now in terms of how much detergent to use your high-efficiency machine can handle more clothing than a traditional washing machine drum could but that doesn't mean that you need glugs of detergent basically a heavy load means that your machine is practically full and you should use the highest portion of detergent for that as marked out on your detergent cap and I would recommend using this as a guide for a medium sized load use the midpoint marker and for a small of you know Lydia use the lowest marker the detergent and your machine know how to get your clothes clean you just need to set it all up for success by using the right detergent the right amount and of course the right cycle on your machine in the next video I want to answer your high-efficiency washer questions so please leave them for me in the comments down below what problems are you having with high-efficiency with your machine with your detergent what is confusing you I've got practically unlimited resources to answer these questions so please bring it on I'm actually working with tide on this to help explain the HD turbo seal and why is actually
