Bought the wrong kind of laundry soap! Will it work?

Question

I bought laundry detergent for a front load washer by accident, and I have a top loading one. Will the front load detergent do the job, or should I return it? If it will work, do I have to put more in? Thanks!

Answer 1

I actually did the same thing last week lol, got home from the store and was like "AWWW S**T!" I really didn't feel like going all the way back to the store, so I used it... and yes it worked fine. A little more watery then the detergent I was used to, but I didn't put anymore in the washer then the directions stated and all my clothes came out clean. =) everyone makes boo boo's !!

Answer 2

Generally speaking (and please do check your manual) front load washers need LESS soap than top load.  If you got a really good deal on the soap, just add a bit more.  If you didn't get a deal and you have the receipt, return it.
