Can I do a soak cycle by starting a regular load and then stopping it once the tub fills and letting it sit for a while, then adding more detergent and starting it up again? We moved a couple of months ago and I've had a horrible time trying to get DD's clothes clean since then. I finally did a load with a soak and spin cycle first using Borax, and then a regular cycle using Oxyclean and All, and that seems to have actually worked. But it would be nice if I could cut down on the amount and expense of different cleaners, and the only way I can think of is the way I mentioned at the start of the post. I've tried just a regular cycle with All & Borax or All & Oxyclean, and neither of those worked, so I definitely need a soak cycle in there somewhere.
