I have a Kenmore HE machine, which I hate btw. I had tried homemade powdered detergent (two different recipes: Fels Naptha, Borox and Washing Soda and Zote, Borox and Washing Soda) and neither would fully dissolve. I switched back to liquid HE detergent but I am trying to save money so I switched to Gain powdered HE mixed with Borax and Washing Soda and it won't dissolve. Again. I just tried a load with only the Gain and it looks like all the detergent is still in the dispenser!
Is it just my machine? I have had a lot of trouble with this washer since we got it so I couldn’t be surprised if it was the machine. Did I mention I hate this washer?
What else can I do? Maybe try the detergent right onto the clothes? I don’t want to ruin them.
Thanks!
