Can I use regular detergent in a front load washer?
ByOur new front load washer was just delivered. I seem to remember hearing that I can use regular detergent, just a much smaller amount in these machines. Is this true?

Look at the directions on the detergent package. You need to use less.

Yes of course.

You should be able to use the exact detergent you used before in the conventional top load washer. A lot of the front load washers have an automatic “over sudsing” control.

THE DETREGENT USAGE WILL BE JUST HALF OF TOP LOADING MACHINE. ASK THE SUPPLIER FOR ALL DETAILS AND DEMONSTRATION HE WILL EXPLAIN.

I don’t know. . .
but what is the difference between a front load washer and a regular washer?

I don’t know about the new machines, but I tried that once years ago and I had suds everywhere…..and into the next room. It wasn’t worth putting detergent in there. Use the normal Tide or what you should use on clothes.

Just try to use liquid detergent. Powder detergent shortens the repair interval due to incomplete dissolution and clogging of outlets.

Yes, it is. When I worked as a housekeeper, I used front-loaders a lot. They cleaned well, but I had to make sure the door was shut tightly.

I used it once and bubbles poured out of it and all over the floor. The answer is nooooo.

Be careful…my mom’s front loading washer can only use H.E. (high efficiency) soap. Too much regular soap caused it to get stuck on the suds cycle. However, if you don’t have H.E. detergent, you can use just a LITTLE bit of the regular kind (about a quarter of the maximum allowed should do it.) If you’re not sure if your machine is high efficiency, best to check with the manufacturer.

I am assuming you have a new water saver.
Yes– start with much reduced amount because much less water is used in the washing process. You’ll soon learn the best amount through experience using your machine. Liquid detergent would be better. If using powdered detergent, DON’T USE DETERGENT WITH BLEACH: The bleach particles were not dissolving and made little white polka dots in my clothing. It took me awhile to figure out what was happening to my clothing.

I find that liquid detergent works best. I pour it into a plastic ball supplied with the detergent and put it in with the clothes. A modest amount of liquid seems to work fine.
When I used powder I found that it didn’t all dissolve and left small clumps of it on the clothes. This may have been because I usualy use a short half hour wash.

Yes, just check the container you might have to change the amount you use.
