What kind of detergent is recommended? My building has one of these, and my clothes are not coming out very clean at all. Been using ALL clear packets

YOu can use any kind. I would ditch the All paks and go with A&H liquid or Tide. I use both in mine and clothes come out clean.

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!).

I have a good size Whirlpool and I use 1 scoop. Everything comes out clean. Dirtier loads I use 2 scoops. Just a note...and I don't know why this is...but...when I wash white clothes in it (without bleach) the clothes have a pink tinge to them. I don't get it so I have now gone back to Tide pods.

I would recommend a soap like dishwashing soap ( Dawn or Palmolive ) as they leave no residue like clothes detergent will.

I have used it separately because it said it is laundry detergent. I will say it is not meant for cleaning so much. I use it for my bedding and for my towels and washcloths. I've come full circle. I use the standard detergent first and the allergen last.

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.

When I worked in the lingerie department of a nation-wide store, we never recommended Woolite. We used Dreft, the baby detergent. Never scrub, just gently swoosh. Rinse and air dry. That should do it.

Hi, I think this product is a "must have". I get odors out of my husband's dirty work clothes that may have been in a laundry bags for a couple of weeks. Yuck! Also, I've bought second hand tshirts that the febreeze laundry got the staleness/old bo out of without a hint of leftover. I think it would remove strong perfume smells. For the price, it's certainly worth a try :)

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!

This is what I used to replace our Tide Free and Clear after looking at the ewg (environmental working group) site. I've used this in a traditional washer and just sprinkle across the top of the clothes with a scoop. You may need to experiment to see what helps the powder dissolve best --amount, water temp. I think you would just sprinkle it across your clothes also.

I use this (and only this) as my laundry detergent, I add baking soda as a booster. It's GREAT if you have sensitive skin (my grandsons do). It will not foam up like regular detergents do (don't add extra). if your laundry load is less than a full load, cut back on the washing soda. It doesn't leave any residue in your clothes like regular laundry detergent does.Hope this helps. I have been using this and only this for the past 4 years. No complaints!!!!!

HE? This detergent makes clothes smell SOOO good, even after they've been hanging in your closet for a little while. I suggest to buy the bigger bottles though....if you can find a good bargain on it! :)

I've used a rag with a little bit of laundry detergent. Worked pretty good. Kept it out of reach from the little guy until it dried.

I just purchased and installed the WM2016CW washer. As a complete newb to the front-loader universe, I set out to run the first load of laundry. I was rewarded with water and suds all over the floor. I called customer service in a panic and the rep told me I probably added too much detergent. Fair enough. Crisis averted. She then went on to lecture me that the WM2016CW is not meant to be used with liquid detergent (even if it's HE). She said it should only use powdered detergent. I referred her to the manual and LG's own website which explicitly state that you can use either in the machine. I'm not sure who to believe, but according to at least one LG customer service rep, the detergent of choice should be powdered.

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

i find that my clothes are clean and fresh smelling after using this product. also i dont use anywhere near as much of this product per wash as other liquid detergents i have tried.

We had oily spots using regular detergent but found out that the problem was build up of old fabric softener in the dispenser that turned almost black and ultimately found its way onto our clothes. Cleaned and flushed the tray with a little white vinegar and the problem disappeared (for a while).
