HE Myths
There are many myths and methods floating around on the internet that recommend “tricking” your washer to add more water, adding wet towels, or reducing spin speed to get the washer to use more water. Generally, your HE washer will drain off the excess water and you won’t achieve cleaner diapers through these “tricks,” and some of them can prevent your washer from cleaning your diapers. You can also void your washer’s warranty and potentially damage your machine. We do not recommend tricking your washer to add more water, ever. Not only would we not encourage methods that would potentially damage your washer, it’s just not necessary to get clean diapers. Some of these tricks can reduce agitation, and prevent proper cleaning, or involve adding bulky items like towels that can wrap around your diapers and keep them moving freely and agitating. We recommend using your washing machine as it was designed to be used.
