Does it get all of the detergent and softner out when rinsing the clothes?

I think of my Wonderwash as a hand crank front loader. The key to the Wonderwash is to not over load it. You need head space so that the cloths can tumble while washing and rinsing. I use liquid detergent and softener together while washing, which consists of 200 rotations forward and back. I then let the cloths drain and I refill the tub for a rinse cycle. After another 200 rotations, I drain the water and put the cloths in my spin dryer, which will remove the soap, softener and dyes. I return the clothing to the Wonderwash for the final rinse of 200 rotations and then back to the spin dryer where the water comes out pretty clear and if it doesn't, then i go for another rinse. Keep in mind you can not do your laundry in bulk and for this reason, I believe, that my cloths come out cleaner, which you will notice with your colored cloths by how much dye will be removed when using the Wonderwash and a spin dryer combination for the first time. Cloths that I've had for years, when washed in my Wonderwash for the first time, released a lot of dye, which totally shocked me and made me realize that my cloths weren't really clean at all. For me, obtaining a spin dryer was the key to the whole process. You need to see the water being released from the cloths to decide if they need rinsed another time! Hope this helps. :-)

I left the soap nuts in the entire time. The directions say you can take them out during the rinse cycle to preserve them but it's not necessary for rinsing the clothes clean. It's not soap, so you don't have a rinse issue, the clothes are not soapy.

No. The pods include detergent + 0xyboost + Fabreeze softener. So It is really economical. I pod washes an average size wash. I use 2 for big loads if they are heavily soiled.

I don't know, because I didn't use much of it. I wasn't satisfied with this detergent. It didn't wash clothes well.

Yes - it's very low sudsing and works great in my front loader. For normal washes, I use one half scoop (the scoop is in the box) or a smidge more if the clothes are very dirty. For cloth diapers, I had an elaborate routine, you will have to play around with it and see what works for you. I did: "short wash" with 1/4 scoop of country save (to rinse out the pee/poop). Then heavy wash on hot, extra rinse with a full 1/2 scoop. Then I did an extra "short wash" with no detergent to be sure all the detergent was rinsed out. If you have a fancy model HE washer, especially one that you can force to use a little more water, you might not need to extra wash/rinse - lots of people get away with adding an extra rinse only, or possibly just two extra rinses. I just can't force my machine to do anything other than its very basic preset wash functions.

No it doesn't, but it is easy to reach in and take the clothes out, or take off the hook and dump it.

Yes it does. It is so easy to take all the parts off to clean. This is my second Bonjour and I love it!

I am not sure about your question. I have this item in my laundry room and have my laundy soap, detergents etc on the shelves. Sorry I cannot help you with your question.

I have used it separately because it said it is laundry detergent. I will say it is not meant for cleaning so much. I use it for my bedding and for my towels and washcloths. I've come full circle. I use the standard detergent first and the allergen last.

Yes it does. It pops out as well so that you can wash any spills or drips that you have.

I have not used it directly on clothing items, but have used it in home made laundry soap and had no issues.

I am certainly not an expert on HE washers but from what I've read the problem with using regular detergent in them is the amount of suds they create. This ball does not create any suds. Whatever the little beads are inside the ball causes the PH of the water to change which cleans the clothes. I am very allergic to most perfumes and this ball does not give off any scent. So that is a plus for me. If I had an HE washer I would certainly give the ball a try. From what I can tell it does not leave any kind of residue in the machine. Some people remove the ball after the wash cycle because if it is in during the rinse cycle it will wash the clothes again. Which cuts down on the number of washes you get from each ball. I don't have the time to watch my washing machine that close, so I leave the ball in during the entire wash cycle. Then I put the clothes in the dryer with a tennis ball that softens the clothes and doesn't leave a scent.

yes it does and i have to say i haven't ever been so happy with a non fragrance detergent. My clothes finally feel really clean!

It did a good job, yes. Lint comes from the laundry detergent you use-it breaks down fibers and wears out the fabric of your clothing. I use Melaleuca laundry detergent and brightener and have very little lint to deal with, plus it does a great job on cleaning. This little machine cleaned my clothes better than any other I've used. It doesn't take a large load of clothes, so you will do a few more loads than you're use to, and it takes a few more cycles in the dryer to dry them, but it's super cheap to operate and your clothes are CLEAN! The lint trap is at the bottom of the machine, a little plug you pull out and clean off.

no, I didn't notice it. I use this every time I washed clothes and have had no problems so far. I recommend this - don't waste your money on those cheap made-in-china ones.

We never used it for clothes only for cleaning. I don't think it has a cloth cleaning attachment. I think you have purchased the wrong type of unit if you planning on using it for that.

It does! But sometimes it's buried in the detergent, so you have to dig :-)
