fredob43 Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Quite often only the big ones have scoops in them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That may be as always buy the larger size Pao - which have found to work best with Japanese type top loaders that we use here (other detergents tend to accumulate as scum on outer tub area - but negative experience was several decades ago so perhaps current formulations of market leaders are better).

KittenKong Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 I find that powder doesn't dissolve properly and leaves a nasty residue. So I always buy liquid detergent, and the measure for that is by the cap-full. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have not had that issue since change to Pao several decades ago - but indeed it was nasty using other powder detergents - they just did not work well in house water Japanese style top loaders.

geoffbezoz Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Don't all washing machines these days have a powder tray with "max" fill line ? So why would you need a scoop ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcusarelus Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Nope. I'm sorry I threw my scoops away. Now I have to measure with a scale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine looks like new and we have had it several years. N/B And that's with the Thai wife doing the washing and looking after it all the time. Must tell you something.

Had to throw them away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malt25 Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Every month or so I run my machine on a full cycle with NO washing in the machine. Put about 2 cups of vinegar in the water, No detergent. Always nice & clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expect that helps but actually you might not see the crude unless you remove the inner tub - it is the outside of that and outer tub where the undissolved soap accumulates. Have not had to run such cleaning operations using large Hitachi top loader with Pao detergent (the machine is almost 20 years old and used for several loads every day due extended family).
