A large-capacity Front-load washer. . .

Woolite and nothing else (no dryer pad in the dryer either.)

With my washer I went through the wash cycle twice and made sure to pull the cover and reposition it between washes. I also set it up for an extra rinse on the second cycle.

Same thing. High-capacity front-load dryer with no dryer sheet. Turn frequently since it'll bunch up.
