Low Sudsing Laundry Detergent Recipe

RE: Low Sudsing Laundry Detergent Recipe Post By emmag (Guest Post) (04/24/2008) I bought a front loader washer also a frigidaire in October and when using TideHe I use 1 tablespoon of detergent. When using Wisk He detergent I use 1/2 tablespoon because it's 3x concentrated and using 1 tablespoon makes the wash too sudsy and I have to turn it to the rinse cycle after the clothes are done.

Is anybody buying it somewhere? Thanks.

The fs reduces the suds also add vinegar to the rinse cycle along with fabric softener to get rid of any soap left in clothes Report Spam or Abuse front loading washers/dryers Post By k (Guest Post) (01/14/2007) does anyone have any input on the front loading washers/dryers? which one seems to work the best, most efficient, what type of detergent?

I was using "regular" soap but just not at much in my front load machine. I thought I was doing the right thing by cutting back on the amount of detergent. My machine was having trouble and I didn't think much about it. I ruined several loads of clothes because I later found out that the seal had went out leaving grease marks on the clothes. In talking to the repairman, he explained that even though I was not using very much soap that it was still too sudsy and the soap had no where to go. It eventually ate away the seal causing me to pretty much have to replace all of the insides of the machine. It was cheaper for me to buy a new machine so that is what we did. I have faithfully used HE soap and have not had any problems.

It seems to work fine initially, but then after about six months, your clothes will be stiff enough with soap to give you hives. Seriously, I tried and gave up and finally went to HE soap. As for soaps...tide is the most expensive of them (and gave my husband an allergic reaction, btw). I use the small and mighty free and clear HE soap, but Gain isn't too bad either. I suppose you could wash with regular soap with one load and then use no soap in the next...that might work. But, still, I'd use the soap that's made for these machines.

I went back to making the homemade detergent (Fels-Naptha, Borox, Washing Soda) and it works great. I do use a pre-stain liquid in addition to my homemade detergent. Was a little nervous at first, but it works just fine and clothes come out looking clean and smelling fresh as ever.

You can also do it without the grated soap if you have "normal" soiling, but works great for bodily fluids and general dirt!

They call for HE formulas (low sudser and high efficiency). Thanks, Cathy Answers: RE: Low Sudsing Laundry Detergent Recipe I was told by an appliance repair man that using 1/2 the amount of REGULAR laundry soap will work. We used to have a front load washer and that is what we did. It seemed to work fine. A Lot Cheaper as well. (05/29/2006) By reva RE: Low Sudsing Laundry Detergent Recipe I make my own washing powder. It does not make suds like commercial washing powder does but it cleans well. Use 1 c. grated bath soap, 1/2 c. Borax, 1/2 c. Arm and Hammer Washing Soda. (The only place I can find this product in our area is at Krogers). Mix all together and use 1 tbsp. per load of laundry. If I have a big load I use 2 tbsp. Hope this will help you. (05/30/2006) By cakelady (Guest Post) RE: Low Sudsing Laundry Detergent Recipe I do as reva said; 1/2 the amount of regular detergent works fine. All has a new "3x concentrated laundry detergent" that uses 1 oz. per load, which is 32 loads per bottle. I cut that amount in 1/2 and get 64 loads of very clean clothes per quart bottle. Talk about savings! Besides the savings on detergent, the front load machines use a lot less water, too; about 8 gallons per load as opposed to more than twice that amount for a top load machine.
