HE (High Efficiency) tip for front loading washing machines

I have had the Whirlpool Duet front loading washing machine (and dryer) for over 9 years.  This was back before the detergent companies decided to make HE (High Efficiency) laundry detergent.  Since there wasn't any "special" detergent for the front loading washing machines, I was instructed to use half the amount of detergent.  You don't need as much detergent since you are using less water - hence, High Efficiency.

I still do.  I don't buy the HE detergent.  For more "bang for your buck" with those of you who have front loading washing machines, purchase the detergent for the top loading machines and mix it with 1/2 water 1/2 detergent.  When you purchase the HE detergent it is already 1/2 strength for the same amount you would use in a regular load.  So you get twice the soap by making it HE in your own kitchen.

You can keep your whites brighter by putting Biz Bleach directly in your front loader on your laundry.
