we also use laundry detergent that is dye and fragrance free.
Mrs. CTL and I recently bought a new Maytag Washer and Gas Dryer to replace our 28 year old Maytag set. The old set still worked but was not energy efficient. We moved it upstairs for use when the whole family is in residence for the summer.
One thing nice about the new machines is that you only use one tablespoon of high efficiency detergent for a full load of wash, not a cap full. The bottle that is marked 120 loads actually does about 250 loads. Drying time has been cut in half.
