    I was really panicking that I might have damaged the washing machine by adding lots of soap!! SO THANKFUL I SAW THIS VIDEO cause I read somewhere else to add vinegar and I was not comfortable with that!!

      Vinegar is safe for all machines. Fabric softener is actually horrible for them, but works best for this particular job (suds reduction), and should be used for this….
      Appliance repair people all seem to be on the same page tho, that regular use of fabric softener is the worst thing you can do to your machine… that and too much detergent, obviously.

    I used a washer detergent that is used to clean the washer without clothes in. The foam that came out was unbelievable! It has never happened before and I followed the instructions. I just mopped up the foam and left the machine to do the extra rinse!

      That's a load of bollocks. And who uses powder in this day and age? Buy the boxes of liquid tablets. You just put that in the machine and the clothes on top. And too much or too little detergent is fuckin nonsense. Don't listen to this wanker.

    This is not necessarily the cause of the excessive amount of powder. At my place, when Mom threw in kitchen cloths, which from wiping the dishes were from washing liquid, there was a lot of foam. The same can be with towels as you don't rinse your hands well, you just wipe the soap on the towel.

    To err on the safe side I decided to remove my laundry and manually clean them in the shower, because I doubted the foam would come down. After that I did the trick with the softener and it's ok. I don't think it needed any softener .

    So do you empty the washer before putting the fabric softener and 1\2 gallon of water and running a cycle or leave the clothes in? In my case it’s a blanket and it’s soapy.

    Adding even more chemicals to chemicals, to reduce foaming? Fabric softener is very toxic . Instead of saturating my laundry with nasty substances I prefer to use white vinegar with a tiny bit of detergent. This works well, and vinegar also removes caulk in the machine.
