One of the biggest misconceptions is that more soap will clean better. Unfortunately, with HE (high efficiency) washers, too much soap product is a bad thing. The soap product won't rinse out completely, it creates too many suds which lessen the tumble effect of the front loader washer action, and it will build up on your clothes. HE washers use less water during both the wash and rinse cycles. Our washers use approximately 2 gallons of water per dry pound of dirty laundry. So, our smallest washer uses 40 gallons to complete the cycles. Our largest washer uses 100 gallons.
Measuring your soap product will save you money in the long run and avoid the soapy film build-up on your clothes. Using a low-sudsing product is also a better choice.
We're fortunate to have great water in the SF Bay Area. Soaps dissolve well and we don't have to add water softening agents to the washer.
