No problem with residual soap in the clothing.

I have been reading on the internet and I see a lot of people use 1/4 detergent or 1-2 tablespoons. But my question is is that 1/4 regular detergent or 1/4 he detergent.

I use 1 to 2 TBSP of Surf powder, depending on how big the load is. So far it cleans the clothes, and my machine runs just fine!

If your water is fairly soft exessive sudsing could be a problem if your water is hard you will have to use more detergent... How much detergent to use will vary from water source to water source....... Report Spam or Abuse RE: Laundry Soap for Front Loading Washers Post By Beverly B.

What does? Report Spam or Abuse RE: Laundry Soap for Front Loading Washers Post By johnsonya (Guest Post) (11/24/2004) I use regular detergent too. And my clothes always come out clean and fresh.

However, when I had a Sears repairman out to my house, he recommended only using 1 tablespoon of liquid laundry detergent in my machine. He proved that I was using too much detergent by running an empty cycle through the machine & showed me the soap bubbles that were washing around in the water that should have been clear. I have been using only 1 tbsp for 2 years and my laundry is clean. I also only use 1/2 teaspoon of liquid fabric softener. These 2 suggestions save lots of money.

They did not mention this when we bought the washing machine. Although I love it for the abililty I now have to wash blankets and pillows easily here at home. Plus I use less water than I did with the old top load with the agitator in the center. I would like to try the 1/4 to 1/2 amount of the regular top load detergent....does it clean the clothes as well as the front load detergent? Right now I am using 1/2 the amount "recommended" on the box of front load detergent. Report Spam or Abuse
