Do they work well in laundromat washers where others use regular detergent?

I share a washing machine with my roommate & she uses regular detergents. These still work great!

I use regular detergent and eco for my baby and it seems like it works just fine.

They are grrrrrrrrrrreat. Can be used over and over. For best results, top rack of washer is best. I've hand washed and machine. Did good on both.

absolutely, I have a frontloading washer, HE, and it worked great on our sleeping bags. Came out smelling really clean and the fabric felt great. Just be sure to follow the directions for the amounts to use.

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).

I think they work fine in an HE washer; our clothes look great. I try to put the bag where the water will first hit it before it get swallowed by the clothes. I stick into the gasket a little. Only once has it stayed there for the entire wash. Also save the tired pieces, add water, cook on stove to get the last of the soap out for shampoo, dishes anything really. I love the stuff. There is no major packaging, people get work and it's all plant material excpt for the plastic buket which I use for other things.

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. :)

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.

Yes - it's very low sudsing and works great in my front loader. For normal washes, I use one half scoop (the scoop is in the box) or a smidge more if the clothes are very dirty. For cloth diapers, I had an elaborate routine, you will have to play around with it and see what works for you. I did: "short wash" with 1/4 scoop of country save (to rinse out the pee/poop). Then heavy wash on hot, extra rinse with a full 1/2 scoop. Then I did an extra "short wash" with no detergent to be sure all the detergent was rinsed out. If you have a fancy model HE washer, especially one that you can force to use a little more water, you might not need to extra wash/rinse - lots of people get away with adding an extra rinse only, or possibly just two extra rinses. I just can't force my machine to do anything other than its very basic preset wash functions.

There may be a chemical reason why this stuff and laundry detergent don't mix. I can see your problem. You'd have to wipe out the washer with something before laundering. The plan is that when the laundry comes out of the machine having been rinsed with Defense, it is free of the microbes you are avoiding.

Absolutely, they work great in both the washer and dryer, helping to protect more delicate items.

I wrote to Downy at the contact email and just received this reply:"All of our laundry detergents have been thoroughly evaluated and are safe to use in homes with a properly functioning septic system. We know it's important for our consumers to be able to take care of their homes and the environment, too. For more information about cleaning products and septic systems, visit the American Cleaning Institute web site (search on "septic"). I hope this information helps."

All HE detergent can be used in regular machines, you just can't use regular detergent in HE machines. The only difference is HE detergent doesn't make as many soap suds, so you won't see the bubbles in a regular machine, but putting the regular detergent in a HE machine is like putting regular dish soap in a dishwasher.... The machine can't handle the bubbles and will overflow.

Yes the mops are made to be easily thrown in the washer and dryer with the rest of your laundry. Yes you can use detergent and also when you need more mops please email parts@pyleaudio.com and they will get you more mops.

I've washed mine quite a few times stuck in with normal loads of laundry. They have came out clean and so far no signs of wear and tear.

I've used one of these in all kinds of washers, from banged-up old ones to brand spanking new HE ones, and it works just fine.

I read that there was one answer that she uses them in her dryer so I had to read the directions again. It clearly stated that this is a detergent for the washer and does not state anywhere that this can be used in the dryer. I have the same product that is pictured here. NOW there may be a product from the same company than can be used in the dryer but not the one pictured. Hope this helps.
