Does Anyone Use HE Detergent in Their Front Loader?

Hi S., I question that not using an HE detergent caused your machine to break, but he is the professional so must know. Anyway, I am a Shaklee distributor and sell Shaklee's HE detergent. All my customers love the job it does as well as the economy -- it is highly concentrated so goes much further than store-bought brands. It is also non-toxic so is safer for your baby and for the environment. In fact, my daughter-in-law told me that our detergent gets her baby's clothes much cleaner than the Dreft that she was using. When she puts our detergent right on babyfood stains, spit-up, and baby's poop stains as a pre-spotter, and then washes them in the machine with the same detergent, everything comes clean - she is amazed! I will be happy to chat with you if you want - just call me at ###-###-#### or e-mail me at ____@____.com Also feel free to browse my web site at www.emilytaft.com I love to talk about these products and give hints on the best way to use them. Hope this helps you. I would love to hear back from you. E. Taft

Hi S.,
I have four kids and have always used Tide. My kids have the most sensitive skin. They are allergic to basically every sunblock on the market and a lot of lotions bother them, but I have never had a problem with the detergent. I'm not sure about your washer, but I have a front loader and it actually has a setting for an extra rinse. You could always try the extra rinse. I have never been able to use Dreft because I never felt like the clothes came out as clean. If it makes you feel better maybe you could get advise from your pedi.

There are alot of sensitive skin detergents out there. I never used dreft and we never had any issues.
I have often wondered if the whole "dreft thing" was a marketing ploy. We use Arm and Hammer... but I am sure there are plenty more out there. I hope that helps.

We used Dreft until we got a new front-load washer and I was totally bummed about not using dreft anymore. We ended up switching to Seventh Generation's baby detergent that is made for HE machines. I believe Method also makes a baby detergent that is HE friendly too. Hope this helps. Good luck.
