I want to start adding 20 Mule Team Borax to my laundry again. I used it when I had a top loader, but I stopped using it when we got the front loader two years ago. I think we need it again. We have very hard water. How, when, and where do I add it? I'm reading a lot of mixed information - no powders ever in a front loader (mine has a spot designated for powder detergent), only in the rinse cycle (do I stand there and wait for it?), mix with hot water and use in place of softener/vinegar, etc. Does anyone here use it with their front loader?
TIA,
Linda
