Does this laundry detergent work in a standard washing machine?

Yes it does. Detergents, powdered or liquid for High Efficiency washers have the letters HE usually somewhere on the front label

Yes. I like it because it has no additives, perfumes, etc. to irritate my skin.

I have machine washed sheepskin with regular green detergent and it works fine. I would say there is no need to use this pricey product.

Yes the washer ball is wonderful in a top loading machine. I've used this product for several years with great results. Enjoy & it saves $ & carrying heavy detergents home from the store.

It can be used in HE washing machines. There is a red circle on the right side of the package that states that it is Front Loader Compatible - HE Certified. I use a top loading machine but my daughter uses the front loader type and finds this very good as well. She found that she could use less than the little blue scoop just as she uses less with other detergents.

I am new to HE washers and have looked up this question online. Most sites say NO because regular detergents produce lots of suds; HE detergents clean with little water. If you use regular detergent your clothes will be sitting in a lather of suds. You can damage your washer when the high amount of soapy suds try to drain. Look it up yourself and see. I would tend to believe it. Frankly, you use a very little amount of the new detergents so it's not like they're just trying to make us buy more detergent.

No. At least not for my Frigidaire HE. Ordinary detergent creates more suds, which do not drain properly, making the washer smell musty/mildewy.

Yes, the washer photo on the package confirms it, I have used these and highly recommend them, I switched from the Tide pods back to my favorite detergent.

First of all, the standard machine, just put the pod on top of the laundry before starting the wash and with the detergent, pour it on the tub, then laundry and then the pod of Tide Boost Vivid. In other words, three layers - detergent, dirty clothes, and pod. The high end washing machine, according to the instruction, put the pod in the machine, and dirty clothes. Then put the detergent in the little square on the top of the machine. That is all you need. Hope that helps you. Thank you.

Era is what I use now and it's wonderful. Once a month I use Smelly Washer to freshen my HE machine and I use Era HE liquid detergent in all my wash. The sour odor is completely gone. The repairman who fixed my washer told me to never use liquid fabric softener and HE liquid detergents together as they gum up the works. He recommended using fabric softener sheets in my dryer instead. So if u plan on changing detergents, I think u will be happy with Era. If u can't find it in ur area, I think Amazon.com sells it.

Yes - says for all washing machines including "he" here: http://www.20muleteamlaundry.com/detergent-booster/boost-your-detergent/ One thing to note: we just got a front loading machine. It says to put the powder in with the clothes instead of the detergent tray. I'm not sure of the reasoning behind that. My wife put oxi-clean powder in and there was a hardened ball of it that didn't get broken up so just make sure all your solids are not clumped up when putting into the machine. I just put the borax into the liquid tray with the liquid. Not recommending that. Not discouraging it either. ******One thing: check local prices. My wife informed me that this is less than half at the local grocery store from what I paid here.*******

Yes. This is my daily laundry detergent that I use on everything! I use the subscribe & save to save money & get a box of this every month. It's great!

Yes - it's very low sudsing and works great in my front loader. For normal washes, I use one half scoop (the scoop is in the box) or a smidge more if the clothes are very dirty. For cloth diapers, I had an elaborate routine, you will have to play around with it and see what works for you. I did: "short wash" with 1/4 scoop of country save (to rinse out the pee/poop). Then heavy wash on hot, extra rinse with a full 1/2 scoop. Then I did an extra "short wash" with no detergent to be sure all the detergent was rinsed out. If you have a fancy model HE washer, especially one that you can force to use a little more water, you might not need to extra wash/rinse - lots of people get away with adding an extra rinse only, or possibly just two extra rinses. I just can't force my machine to do anything other than its very basic preset wash functions.

I have continued NOT to use laundry detergent and just follow the instructions. So I can say, with my new washing machine, that they come out definitely cleaner -- and they never smell -- So I assume the Manufacturer's method works pretty well. RI

Yes, it is as long as you use a detergent that is made for high performance washers. It's quite amazing how these new washers get your clothes clean. Whites seem to be the only issue. They get clean, but they loose their brightness over time. You can check the performance of the washer by soiling a hand towel with various stains and letting it dry for a day or two before you wash it.

Yes! There are washing instructions on the bag for both he and standard machines. I have an he machine myself. Works fabulous!

No, I dont. I just put in the reccomended amount and it works wonders. I also use this to clean my washer.

I just purchased and installed the WM2016CW washer. As a complete newb to the front-loader universe, I set out to run the first load of laundry. I was rewarded with water and suds all over the floor. I called customer service in a panic and the rep told me I probably added too much detergent. Fair enough. Crisis averted. She then went on to lecture me that the WM2016CW is not meant to be used with liquid detergent (even if it's HE). She said it should only use powdered detergent. I referred her to the manual and LG's own website which explicitly state that you can use either in the machine. I'm not sure who to believe, but according to at least one LG customer service rep, the detergent of choice should be powdered.
