Regular detergent in a HE washer
Hi everyone,
I'm getting a new washer and dryer delivered tomorrow and I was wondering if I can still use "regular" detergent in it even though the paperwork said to use detergent for HE machines. DH and I bought a huge bottle of "regular" detergent at BJ's last week (1 day before the old washer kicked it) and I'd hate to waste it
Re: Regular detergent in a HE washer
Ditto the suds thing.
Also, HE detergent is made to work with less water, so regular detergent is probably not as effective.
Can you give to someone or have someone buy it off you? The cost of the detergent is probably less than any potential repairs you'd have to do if it does mess things up.
I changed my name
PP are right it is too soapy
I sell appliances and we usually tell our customers that prolonged use of it isn't good for the machine, but if they have old stuff they would like to use up then the best thing to do is to dilute it.
Vinegar works best bc it also keeps the washer clean- but water will work too.
Also you will need to use less than you would typically use as well- even after dilution just to make sure the washer doesn't get ruined.
