What do I need to know about using RLR?

Anything? Is it pretty self explanatory?  We have a FL HE, but access to a top loader.  Would we be better off using the top loader?

I use calgon (could not find RLR locally) and have a HE FL.  I think with RLR you use the recommended amount, but with calgon you use 1/2.  I start with clean diapers, then add the calgon to the detergent spot and wash/rinse on hot.  Unfortunately my machine only has a hot wash/cold rinse option, so I do that complete cycle as many times as needed until I no longer see bubbles during the hot wash cycles.  I will probably be doing it on Sunday as I just switched to Tide and I seem to be using too much detergent (lots of bubbles after three whole cycles!).  HTH!
