I love this detergent, but recently switched to an he washer. I have leftover detergent...is there a way to ammend or alter it to use in my he washer?

I've been using this detergent in my HE machine for years, and it works fine. For my LG 24" ventless washer-dryer, I use 1/4-cupful (that's the "2" line on the scoop, but using a 1/4-cup measuring cup is much easier).

Thanks, Wesley. How long did your front loaders last? I used this'd detergent on my last front loader, but it crumped out after 6 years. It seems like an expensive he washer should last longer... I've been using he detergent on my new he washer now, but I really miss the A&H; detergent. (And I have several boxes left!).

If the washer is out of warranty or you don't care if the washer company might make a big deal of using a non-HE detergent, just keep using it. Don't use more than you need or you'll get sudsing that'll reduce the effectiveness of the cleaning. I've been using this in my last two front loaders that recommend HE detergents with no problems. I never use more than the first line on the cup for even large loads. If you get excess suds, use less next time.

I have used both liquid and powder homemade laundry soap. We haven't had any problems at all, although we have only had the washer for a few months. I think if you have a low sudsing formula and use an appropriate amount, you would be fine (just like any other detergent.....you don't need much)

I don't know for sure but I don't see any reason why you can't. You put the smelly wash in the detergent receptacle run your hottest cycle for 2 minutes then you shut it off and let it set all night. The next morning you turn back on to complete cycle. To keep it smelling fresh use it once a month run a complete cycle. If you can use it in a dishwasher you probably could use it. Hope this helps. love this for my front loader and my daughter loves it for her washer.

Can you take the liquid dispenser out? We have a Samsung HE washer and the little cup for the liquid comes out so you can add powder in the drawer. I always put the soap in the soap drawer and have not had any problems with it. I guess I didn't read the directions very carefully because I never saw to put the soap straight into the washer :)

I added it with my regular laundry detergent and it works great. I believe it says on the label to add with detergent. I hope this helps :)

I don't own a dishwasher. As a water softener?, I cant answer that. Google this question to see a dishwasher detergent recipe that some people are using. Sorry I wasn't much help.

Use it as a detergent, it does not need to be mixed with another detergent, it can be used by itself

I have used laundry detergent but it does not rinse well. This product cleans better and rinses well. Also deodorizes very well.

No, it is not made for use with HE - at least I don't think so. They suggest you add the detergent while the machine fills and then add clothes - so I'd say unless you have a top load HE it may not be good. Although - detergent is detergent - I bet it will work fine even though it doesn't say HE.

I make my own detergent using Borax, Baking Soda, Laundry Soda and washing soap. To do this you have to mix 2 tablespoons with hot water to liquefy this for my front load HE washing machine. So if you just use this I would think you could mix a measured amount with hot water and use it.

I have a front loader and I add it directly to the laundry. I use one or two scoops depending on load, no less no more. After eight months of use, I continue to love this detergent.

Yep! We got an LG HE washer and I use soapnuts instead of store-bought detergent. For a full load, I put a handful of the nuts in a clean sock, the tie it and throw the sock into the washer with the laundry. Wash with warm water then rinse with cold water works best, but washing with cold water works fine too. I just love the smell of my laundry afterwards...a light but very refreshing smell!

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!

I can only give you my own washing routine. I am just starting to use my second bottle of this liquid. I started the first bottle on or about February 10th.It is definitely the detergent to use. No more yucky smelling sponges etc.only a small squirt on the sponge washes a lot of dishes.I have now also switched from a well known brand of clothes washing liquid to Seventh Generation Liquid for my Washing Machine and it works wonderful.

Yes. This is what I do just because I am not sure how well it would actually "wash" I use one of my detergent pods then I put in a shot glass full of the detergent in my liquid detergent dispenser. My clothes come out smelling so good!! I only use this on my own clothes and my sheets. No sense washing the hubbies work clothes in this. :)

I honestly don't see how it could hurt. I have a(n) he machine and I like adding some of this because I think it helps the regular detergent (or pods) clean better. It also helps a bit with that smell he washers can get. Evidently a lot of people use it to make their own detergent by combining it with other things- I was impressed by all the comments on that.

My understanding is that you wash it in the clothes washer. You should be able to put it in there. When I bought it I think it said that is the way to do it.
