Does anyone have an he/frontloading washing machine and also a baby? I have a front loading machine. The only trouble is, you can only use detergents with the he symbol on it. I have yet to find Dreft or an equivalent with such symbol for my machine. I did find a dreft that said "2X Concentrated use half the detergent" I assumed this would be the same thing as the he detergents. I may have made an incorrect assumption. I did my first load of baby clothes today and OH MY the suds!
Something seems not right here. Maybe it's because I've got it on hot water, or maybe Dreft is just extra sudsy. I don't know but for a while I couldn't even see the stuff inside the washer- only suds. I've got it set on extra rinse and maybe when it's done I'll run it again with no detergent just to make sure but something just does not seem right. Has anyone experienced this problem or has anyone found a baby detergent for front loading machines?

I was thinking I was going to read baby came, but nope just bubbles lots of bubbles. Haha
eumm they are all frontloading in Europe.
I know my mom always ignores "2x concentrated" and uses way too much detergent, making it extremely foamy up to a point that our washing machine leaked foam. My dad (who actually buys that kind of stuff) stopped buying extra concentrated stuff :p
Hope this helped!

the big advantage of toploaders is that you can still open them after they started. I always find somewhere a dirty sock that fell on the floor while carrying the laundry to the laundry machine. With a frontloader, the sock needs to wait for the next laundry at that set temperature.
Another difference I remember is that I could only choose between cold/warm/hot...on those Maytags and nobody could specify me which exact temperature was which. I am used to sort my laundry in pale 30°, dark 30°, 40°, 60°, cold for wool sweaters and 95° for towels underwear and handkerchiefs. I often got comments on using cloth handkerchiefs: they would be unhygienic. Well that's not true, but you need to wash them hot enough!
