Rinse Question

So my current was routine is cold rinse/hot wash on the long wash cycle with 2 tbs RNG/cold rinse/cold rinse.  Would there be any reason I couldn't just do a quick cold wash cycle with no detergent at the end instead of two rinses?

My washer and dryer are in the basement and I am usually washing during the bedtime routine for my three kids so it would be easier if I could start the washer one less time.  :)

    I've wondered the same thing.  Are you talking a full wash cycle where it spins, then rinses and spins?  If so I'd think it would be fine.  You might need that extra spin/rinse/spin to drain away all the soapy water.

    ...if that made sense.  Sleep deprived today.

    I think my sleep deprived self follows your sleep deprived answer! Yes, I do mean the full wash cycle, just set to short.  Perhaps I should have mentioned, I have a TL and soft water.

    I've done a full cold wash as my last routine....I don't see why you can't.

    You only need to set it for rinse one time after the wash. The first rinse is included in the wash cycle. So if you are setting it twice after the wash you're actually doing 3 rinses. 

    I was only doing one rinse, but I noticed I was still getting some suds.  Maybe decrease detergent?
