[quote=Anonymous]We moved into a new house about 3 months ago. The house has a HE front load washer, but not a new one. I don't know how old, because HE front loaders haven't been around that long, but it's far from the fancy new ones I see. The dryer is ancient. I have a baby and a toddler so I do kids laundry all the time, but I did at the old house too (old washer/dryer were lower-mid end non-HE but new). I've noticed that things like kids towels and burp cloths are all of a sudden deteriorating. I mean shredding at the sides and actually thinning all around. Like I will be able to see through the towels in a few more washes, like they're turning into gauze.

What could cause the sudden wear and tear other than the different washer or dryer? Using same detergent (except switched to HE versions). I also noticed a couple of my and DH's shirts getting some holes and thinning. Which is the culprit? I'm going to lower the dryer heat but I don't want to stop using hot water in the wash for the kids clothes (I use cold on our clothes that I've seen damage to anyway.)[/quote]
