suds produced by standard detergents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, if you use traditional detergent in a high-efficiency washer, the excess suds will interfere with the tumbling action used to clean clothes in front-loading or top-loading HE washers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And in addition to that, the excessive suds can also overflow and cause electrical failure to the electric panel of the HE washers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other than that, using regular detergent in HE washers can also be a breeding ground for odorous and unhealthy mold due to the sticky residue left by excess suds and soil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, if you have a regular washer and also have a bottle of HE detergent, you can use it, but unfortunately you won&#8217;t see many satisfying suds. But despite that, your clothes will likely get just as clean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The rule of thumb on using HE detergent in a regular washer is, for a normal to large load, use no more than \u00bc cup of HE detergent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But what about hybrid washers? Can you use it? Well, hybrid washer is a top-load washing machine with a sensor that can detects water levels without the traditional top-load agitator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hybrid washing machines can provide a cleaner wash for bulky items and large sheets, giving you the best of both worlds &#8211; traditional laundry and high efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When using HE detergent in a hybrid washing machine, use the recommended amount for HE machines.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As with using HE detergent in a regular machine, you&#8217;ll see less suds, but your clothes will still get clean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tips_on_Using_HE_Detergents\"><\/span>Tips on Using HE Detergents<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dimulti.id\/SNI\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/HE-Detergent-4-1024x576.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4086\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dimulti.id\/SNI\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/HE-Detergent-4-1024x576.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.dimulti.id\/SNI\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/HE-Detergent-4-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.dimulti.id\/SNI\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/HE-Detergent-4-768x432.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.dimulti.id\/SNI\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/HE-Detergent-4.webp 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s some useful tips if you\u2019re about to use a high efficiency detergent!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Follow Directions: <\/strong>ALWAYS read and follow the instructions on the packaging of your HE detergent to determine how much detergent to use as not all formulations are the same.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>HE Pods: <\/strong>Only use one or up to two pods per load, place them in the washer drum then add your laundry.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Liquid or Powder Detergents: <\/strong>Most HE washers will accept both types, but it is best not to mix the two as it causes clogging.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>So to conclude it, HE detergents are specifically designed for high-efficiency washing machines, which use less water and require a low-sudsing detergent to work effectively.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These detergents help prevent excessive suds, ensuring proper cleaning while avoiding potential damage to the washer, such as electrical malfunctions or mold buildup.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While it is safe to use HE detergent in a regular washing machine, it may produce fewer suds, but your clothes will still get clean.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, it is never recommended to use regular detergent in a high-efficiency washer due to the risk of overflowing suds and damage.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Always follow the instructions for the correct amount of detergent based on your washer type and detergent form to ensure optimal performance and cleanliness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HE detergents are non-foaming, quick-cleaning detergents designed for high-efficiency washing machines, whether its front-loading or<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":4083,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4082","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dimulti.id\/SNI\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4082","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dimulti.id\/SNI\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dimulti.id\/SNI\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dimulti.id\/SNI\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dimulti.id\/SNI\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4082"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.dimulti.id\/SNI\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4082\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dimulti.id\/SNI\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4083"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dimulti.id\/SNI\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4082"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dimulti.id\/SNI\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4082"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dimulti.id\/SNI\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4082"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
