I have a front load washer so I can't do a lot of soaking. I would NEVER purchase a front load washer again by the way!
Glad to see someone else say they would never buy another front load m@chine. I had one and hated it. Just got a new speed queen top loader and just LOVE watching my clothes and fabric swishing in the water, lol.
