Why Top Load Washing Machine and Front Load Washing Machine have different washing podwer?

Question

Please explain why they have different washing powder. Thank you.

Answer 1

r w is absolutely correct because I have experienced the problems of suds in my front loading machine before therefore it is very important to get the right washing powder, low suds.  I absolutely love the front loaders, they are more gentle on clothes and wash better  : )

Answer 2

Apparantly if you use normal washing powder in a front loader it causes an over supply of suds which can spill out all over the floor.  As for the scientific reasons for this I have no idea.

Answer 3

a front load washer is called a he washer. that means high efficency. if you use regular laundry soap in it it will oversuds. a front loader uses approx 15 gallons of water whereas a top loader uses over 30 gallons to water to do the same thing. If you use to much soap or not he soap in a front loader the pressure switch in the mach will lock up and won't let the machine work until you get the switch replaced. This is called a suds lock condition. If you must use conventional soap in a front loader then use about half of what it calls for on the small load. otherwise you will be calling the repair man..

Answer 4

The difference is the sud content front end machine used less water so you need a washing powder that has a low sud content otherwise your clothes would be very soapy....
