Is Homemade laundry detergent worth It?Īnother question you’re probably asking is, “Is it really worth my time to make my own detergent?” Again, I say yes, but let’s see the proof. So for those of you with HE washers, you will save even more money by making your own laundry detergent. This homemade laundry detergent is VERY low suds! Don’t let that fool you though, this cleans very well, just don’t expect the bubbly soap suds that a typical detergent gives you. Since they use less water to wash (and then rinse) the clothes, it needs a detergent that doesn’t suds up like a typical laundry detergent. Why is it safe?Well, HE washing machines are High Efficiency because they use less water (and energy) to wash your clothes. Unlike many HE compatible laundry detergents that can slow machines down with oversudsing, this turbo-charged formula quickly collapses suds and targets tough stains. The first thing many of you may be asking is, “But is it safe for my HE washer?” With absolute certainty I can say yes! Tide With a Touch of Downy HE Turbo Powder Laundry Detergent with Acti-Lift Crystals offers a brilliant clean and also provides added softness for your money. ![]()
