Do I add soap, bleach and fabric softener all at the same time or at separate points in the wash?

This varies by type of washer. For a Top-Load washer, you must add the soap, bleach and fabric softener at different times during the wash cycle. Consult the instructions on each product before adding in any of these products. For a Front-Load washer, you are encouraged to add all of these products at once, by opening up the drawer of the machine. Each product will be released at the correct time during the wash cycle.
