Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

Combo Washer/Dryer Product?
Permalink  

We've used the Purex 3-in-1 laundry sheets in conventional washers and dryers, and they've worked well.  It seems that they would be perfect for use in washer/dryer combo machines.  However, if they have sufficient detergent and softener for use in standard size conventional machines, is there too much for use in the small combo machines? 

Thanks for any feedback on your own experience!

The combo units use less detergent and need HE detergent. Do the Purex sheets come in HE? If so a pair of scissors would let you cut the sheets in half or even thirds.

Edit: We rarely use dryer sheets because we often have microfiber and/or towels in the wash since dryer sheets mess them both up.

I was subsequently advised that dryer sheets should not be used in combo machines.  Another poster said the same thing about using the HE detergent, and then using white vinegar for fabric softener, which I have done for decades.  So, I'm ready to roll, laundry-wise that is.

I was also instructed not to use dryer sheets in combo W/D and I, too, only use HE liquid detergent.  2 years...and things are working great.
