HE means they use they use less water and energy. Which makes them less effective at cleaning.

Any scent free will work in a HE machine.  HE machines require less soap and if you are a heavy handed, more is better when it comes to soap in a HE machine it may not be able to rise all residue out.  Use any soap you want just use the recommended amount or actually a little less than recommended amount.

I use Code Blue personally but Dead Down Wind and HS is good also.

Dry on low without a scented dryer sheet or hang outside to dry.  Put in Totes or HS scent free bags and good to go!

FYI, same goes for HE dish washers, less is more.

Pretty much same as Bisch.. Tide no dye or perfume for everyday use clothes and UV free "sport wash" for all hunting cloths.

Dead Down Wind!

- Will actually help prevent or remove accumulated biofilm that plagues a lot of the he front load washers.  It's also the only one that ACTUALLY PUTS odor eliminating ingredients in the detergent.  Check the labels.
