I wash my quilts on the "hand wash" cycle. I also have to run the drain and spin cycle twice.
|
Mine is the same on the gentle cycle.

My Samsung front loader has a bedding cycle. It takes longer but I haven't stood there and watched it but I think it stops and reverses direction to adjust the placement of contents for better washing and or spinning. I haven't had any trouble with queen sized quilts or bedding. If I don't have the time then I just use the quick cycle. Haven't had any problems with that one either.

I wash my quilts on the gentle cycle with cold water in a front loader. When I go to put them in the dryer they are sopping wet. I've tried putting them through another spin cycle, but that doesn't seem to do much good. I end up squeezing as much water out as I can before putting it into the dryer. Does anyone else have this problem? Is there anything I can do to prevent this? Thanks in advance for your much appreciated advice.

Are you washing it alone? The only time I had a problem was when I tried to wash a quilt by itself. Last quilt I made sure there were towels and t-shirts in with it and everything spun out well.

i have found that it is necessary to balance the load with some other item or it will not spin properly. This was especially true of things like bath mats that were very heavy when wet. Try putting in another item like an old,not too much fuzz towel to help balance the spin.
front loaders don't have balance issues |

The first time I used my front loader to wash a quilt I encountered the same problem. I had the quilt in there by itself & the service people (over the phone) told me it was because the load was unbalanced & they were right. I threw in a few towels to balance the load & the machine worked perfect. Give it a try & see if that solves your problem.

I use regular wash - and no problems here with the rinsing. I do you cold water detergent and just the regular rinse cycle. They come out perfect - love my HE front loader.

Why are you washing them on the gentle cycle? That is the problem. On gentle, is does not spin as fast; therefore, the quilt and/or clothes are more wet. Try a regular spin cycle and see if that helps. GiGi

I reset the washer to spin only after washing and spinning on the gentle cycle although I have a couple that I do on permanent press cycle. This is normally adequate, but I have one that is heavier and I do it a second time on spin only. Works fine for me. Hope that made sense.
