Can you use regular detergent in a front load washing machine?  | |  I just got my new front load washer and dryer yesterday. We bought them a month ago but they just got delivered. I never thought I could get so excited about doing laundry! Anyways, when we bought them I asked the salesman if you had to use special detergent in the front loading machines and he said no. He said that you just have to use 1/3 of the amount that you usually use of your regular detergent, but in the instructions for the machine it says that you have to use the low sudsing detergent. Anyone know if you can use your regular detergent?

Start out using 1/3 of what you used to use, and then if you feel that your not getting the suds or your clothes aren't clean increase it a little until you get what works best with your detergent and your machine.

I think I would use the special detergent rather than risk ruining such an expensive appliance.
there is a chance that the salesman just wants to make the sale and is not concerned about what happens after you get the machine home.
I am told if you use regular detergent you are asking for gunk build up, machine break down, and mold growth.
