Can top load detergent be used for front load?

The short answer to the question “Can we use top load detergent in a front load washing machine?” is very simple. No, you should not use top load detergents in a front-loading washer. Only HE (high efficiency) front loading detergents should be used in these washing machines.

Why do front load washers need special detergent?

Because front-load washing machines with impellers use less water – clothes are not entirely submerged in water for the majority of the wash cycle – it is important to use a detergent that suits this style of washing.

Why do front loaders use different detergents?

A front loading washing machine requires a detergent formula that is specially formulated to produce fewer suds than what a top loader needs while ensuring impeccable clean. This is why it’s important to use the right detergent for the machine you’re using, so you get the laundry results you want.

What is the difference between front loading and top load detergents?

Since a front loading washing machine uses less water, it requires a high efficiency (HE) low suds formula detergent. The low suds formula of the HE detergents produces less lather and removes all the dirt and soap residue with less water. The conventional laundry detergent used for a top load washing machine produces more suds or lather.

What is top load washing machine detergent?

In a top-load washing machine, clothes are entirely submerged in water for the majority of the wash cycle. As a result, top-loader detergent – including detergent not specifically designed for high-efficiency machines – is designed to dissolve in higher levels of water and usually lathers up more.

Why does my front load washer make my clothes look dirty?

Because of this difference in water usage, conventional laundry detergents designed for top-load washers create more suds than a front-load HE washing machine can rinse away. If you used a conventional detergent in your front-load washer, the soap may leave a residue on the clothing, which can make them appear dingy.
