A Top loading high-efficiency washing machine can use up to half as much water as their traditional counterparts. It may be difficult to find a regular machine that still uses a lot of water. Most washing machines on the sales floor today are high-efficiency.
You may have chosen a Whirlpool laundry pair because of their reputation for quality, or because Whirlpool is one of the few brands still made in the USA. No matter what brand you have, you may have noticed that high-efficiency washers can take some time to adjust to.
Use the Right Detergent
When you purchase your high-efficiency top load washer, the first thing you should do is check the label on your detergent. It should have an HE logo somewhere on the front. HE detergent is lower concentration when it comes to suds. If you use more detergent than you need, your clothes will not feel clean. Regular detergent can damage an HE machine.
Recommendations From Professionals
The directions on your laundry detergent you will detail how much detergent you should be using. An experienced technician, or knowledgeable sales associate, will advise you to use half the recommended amount. Your professionals may also give you washing instructions, so you get the best results from your HE washer.
Load detergent properly
Correct Water Level
Correct Loading Process
Correct Temperature
You can use HE detergent in a traditional washer. You will not get the suds you may be used to, but your clothes will still be clean. If you use regular detergent on an HE machine, you could damage your machine and may void your warranty.
