it seems my HE washer only wants liquid. Should I first mix the soap with water, or can I just poor the powder in the dispenser?

We have a Samsung HE. We were using Charlies in our old top loader, so we have only ever used Charlies in the Samsung from new. We put the scoop of powder in the middle of the dispenser tray and it is completely clean and empty after the wash is completed. The tray still looks as new as the day we bought it, no soap sludge at all.

You just use one scoop and pour into the dispenser tray (my He washer is a Kenmore, made by Samsung). They use it for babies also because it does not have a scent.

I am sorry that I can't say yes or no..since my washer is not HE...The powder dissolves quickly,so that may be a solution for you...just really not sure..If it does work,you will probably be pleased with the product,since not as much needs to be used per load,and you can still use fabric softener if you want to..maybe check with the mfg. of the detergent? tc,wish I could answer your question...

Should have also said that both the top loader and the front loader were HE and putting Charlie in with the clothes works just fine. If you put it in the dispenser it could clog and not get the soap actually into the machine. Liquid soap is expensive as are other brand of powder and since starting to use Charlie I have been really pleased. My daughter introduced me to it on a visit when did the laundry for the baby and if it can get baby clothes and diapers clean it will clean anything. She actually liked it so well she ordered it and had it shipped to me so when she came it would be here!! The amount you use does seem like just a little bit, but it is enough do not need to add more.

This soap will probably not dissolve well enough or rinse out properly in your machine. I just returned mine to Amazon due to skin irritation.

No do not put it in the dispenser. Just measure it out and put it in the with clothes. Top loader on the bottom before loading clothes and with front loader just sprinkle it on the clothes close the door and let it go. I have had both top and front loaders and used Charlie with both with excellent results.

I have a brand new Whirlpool HE washing machine and on the inside of the top loader door it has clear instructions and it states that you can use liquid or powder HE detergent. ... That is for putting the detergent in the detergent dispenser in the machine.

I must post a correction here! I re-checked my pressure washer & manual and there IS the option of applying soaps and other cleaning solutions through the sprayer.A low-pressure (black) nozzle is supplied for this purpose; also included is a clear "chemical hose," which connects to a barbed fitting just behind the hose connection on the pump; the other end goes into your cleaning solution. It is an entirely LOW PRESSURE operation though! The manual even states that the siphon effect will not occur if the high pressure nozzles are connected.

you would need to use a very mild dilution if you were not going to rinse...it is a good sudsing soap!

No. I have front load washer and we use the refresh tab that the washer manufacturer recommends each month as part of normal maintenance. Never see any residue from the soap. I would think there would be residue on the laundry too if it is in the wash tub. Try using less soap in each load

Applying chemicals or cleaning solvents is a low-pressure operation. You must install the low-pressure (black) nozzle into quick connect fitting of spray wand, refer to Spray Wand Nozzles. NOTE : Chemicals and soaps will not siphon if the black soap nozzle is not installed on the spray wand.Use only household detergents, cleaners and degreasers recommended for use with pressure washers. After use of chemicals, place chemical hose into container of clean water and draw clean water through chemical injection system to rinse system thoroughly. If chemicals remain in the pump it could be damaged. Pumps damaged due to chemicals will not be covered under warranty.

Yes. Every liquid soap that I've added with water has worked. I'm using a 1 part Castille soap : 3 parts water right now.

In the most of the cleaning procedure, You can use only water, but, if the item you want to clean is very cloght it's possible use a soft liquid soap, but the final cleaning sould be only water

I have never used soap with my pressure washer. The pressure from my washer does the job without soap.

to expand on your question: i'm now using less than a quarter of a cup in a top loading machine with warm or hot water and will probably cut back some more. i like using real soap flakes rather than detergent but it's expensive.

I have Whirlpool front-loader. I add Charlie's Soap to the dispenser. I have had absolutely no problems with Charlie's Soap dissolving in even very cold water.

I put in a couple drops of dish soap and then fill it with hot water. Swish it really good, then make sure to rinse it very well. Be sure to let it dry completely before refilling it.

Make sure you mix a bit of water in with the raw soap. If you don't you could clog the pump.

Since U add soap when U use it, Ijust rinse it in water after use and let it air dry. I probably would not put in washer b/c something might snag & unravel the fibers. There's no loose ends hanging out but it has a loose weave.

yes, put your liquid soap to the soap line, then fill with water to the water line. Do Not Shake. The instructions tell you not to shake the pump. That make be what causes the pumps to fail for others. I have had mine for a couple of years and they still work just fine. I swirl the container to mix the contents.
