The whole idea of high efficiency detergent is that it doesn't make suds. The 'efficiency' is in terms of water usage. In theory, a modern washer can use less water to wash the same amount of clothes, assuming the detergent doesn't make suds.
Also, in theory, a normal amount of HE detergent should wash just fine in any machine, it just won't make suds. Of course, I don't know for sure, it's naturally a different formulation in order to avoid suds. Does it appear to clean the clothes well enough, though? |
