We used one of these for years, same method, except I do two rinses with one
wring per rinse. A spin cycle gets out more water than a single wring - I
never tried a double wring. I am glad to hear that you do not feel useless
;=)

I would support a double rinse for getting traces of the detergent low enough
to not be irritating.

I put in about 1/20 the recommended amount of detergent (if liquid, one
tablespoon is more than adequate, not a half cup). If you run a longer wash
cycle and/or let it soak before rinsing, the smaller amount of detergent works
just as well as a short wash cycle without soak, and lots of detergent. THe
detergent companies want to recommend enough to cover the worst scenario, or
maybe they just want to sell lots of detergent.

resp:0 That sounds like a cool washing machine although I think I'll
stick to more modern appliances. :)
resp:3 I think the soap companies, in an effort to sell more soap,
recommend the maximum amount that one can use without it becoming a
problem. I use about 1/3 -1/2 the recommended amount and that works well
for me.

Try using less than 1/3. I still see lots of suds in the second rinse water
when I use a teaspoon of concentrated liquid.

I can't look at the screen for longer than 3 seconds or my eyes start
bleeding. This can't be good.

It is probably the radiation from your monitor.
