We just switched from BG powder detergent to their liquid one--I couldn't find the powder. The wash instructions changed too so if I follow the directions, it looks like it is almost 2 1/2 hours of washing!

Before we did a pre rinse on cold (no detergent), took 30 minutes, then a full wash on regular cycle plus extra rinse, which eas a little over an hour. The new detergent says to do a full wash, then heavy duty wash, the extra rinse which looks like it is adding 60-90 minutes of wash time. I usually wash in the morning so that everything dries on the line during the day.

So tell me, is this normal?
