We recommend using two Tbls of detergent per wash
Did you know most front-load washers only need 2 tablespoons of liquid HE detergent per load?
These machines use much less water, so using more soap doesn’t clean better — it actually causes problems.
Using too much detergent can lead to:
• Extra suds and longer cycles
• Bad odors in the door gasket
• Soap residue on clothing
• Unnecessary strain on the drain pump
For very dirty loads, you can use up to 3 tablespoons, but never fill the detergent cap — those lines are usually far more than a front-loader needs.
Tip: Run a monthly “Clean Washer” cycle to keep your machine fresh and running smoothly
