Detergent to use with Maytag Top loading washing machine.
We have been using Kirkland Ultra Clean from Costco as it is HE compatible. (High Efficiency)
does anyone know of a suitable alternative, reasonably prices detergent that is either HE compatible or
they have personal experience using in a similar top loading washing machine that stipulates it requires an
HE detergent.
Hank you in advance for any replies,
robbie

Hello Robert. To be honest I was under the impression that HE detergents were only used in America, and particularly in top loaders. Whenever I search for HE washing machine detergents, all the results are in America. Does your washing machine specify to use HE detergent? I can't even see any mention of this type of detergent on the Which? website, which tends to imply my idea that we don't really use it here might be correct?

I think what the US call HE detergent, just means it is low suds, so just about any washing machine detergent currently sold in the UK. We also have bio and non-bio, which isn't a USA thing, bio just means it contain enzymes.
I'm also not keen on liquid detergents, their residue promotes bacterial growth in the machine which can make it smell unless you do occasional 60C + washes, or use other products like laundry sanitisers. Also they don't contain oxygen bleach:-

Hi Rafal. I'm not sure what you mean regarding substitutes as in substitutes for what? Personally I don't like liquid detergent at all, it tends to make a mess of washing machines after a while.

Thanks,
