[QUOTE="ola402, post: 4353298, member: 182"]That's a great idea. I'll try to find a large mesh bag, since I've wanted one for awhile (ever since I bought this washer). I wish, but No, it doesn't. Gentle cycle is the only choice, but it could work. So far I've only used the gentle for small things, like unmentionables, but not a huge TC. I hav a large laundry tub so "by hand" could work, but only on the TCs that warrant that kind of labor intensive work since I plan to resell most of them. One of the things I really was drawn to on these TCs was how the dry cleaner/laundry company handled them. The lacy ones are folded with craft paper behind them and the really large ones are draped over two of those large rolly type hangers. You don't get that service cheap any more, if at all. I'm anxious to get started on them but can't really until the "all time consuming holidays" are over. My family is mostly men so it's a harrowing day to accomplish all of the cooking solo. My sister (the lil stinker) lives in Michigan and stays there for Thanksgiving. I'm told that the tendency to twist up laundry is a standard feature of HE machines.[/QUOTE]
