new washing machine with good rinsing (eczema sufferer)

[CurlyhairedAssassin]

I've been looking at Which? and noticed that washing machinese these days have to confirm wtih EEC regs about energy efficiency etc meaning they don't use much water. Now, DS2 has eczema and I find it difficult enough keeping it under control as it is with extra rinses on our machine that is 12 years old (and about to pack up), never mind a modern one that will barely use any water and so how can they be efficient at rinsing the detergent residue off properly?

Our old machine is bad enough - when I put a newly washed facecloth in a sink of water the residue that comes off is disgusting - it leaves film of soapiness on the surface of the water. And this is with about 2 EXTRA rinses after the machine's normal rinse. I have serious doubts about modern machines.......

can anyone recommend one that is good for eczema sufferers that doesn't cost the earth?

I think they are all as bad - especially that they do most of it in cold water as well.

I usually put the machine on to re-rinse and don't use concentrated washing powder or fabric cond, as even at the recommended levels or less they still cause eczema.
