The Electrolux front load washer features LuxCare® Wash to provide a thorough clean for clothing and fabrics. The 20-Minute Fast Wash cycle allows you to quickly deep-clean the items you need the most. Electrolux washers meet strict criteria to guarantee high-quality energy efficient performance--without sacrificing clean. As a rule of thumb, below are some helpful suggestions.
Whether you have a front-load or top-load high-efficiency washer, you are using much less water per load than a standard washer. Without all the extra water to distribute the detergent and then rinse it away, you must use less detergent. Even if you religiously purchase and use a product with the "he" symbol, you must still be careful about overdosing.
The optimum amount of 2X liquid laundry detergent for a high-efficiency washer is two teaspoons; 4X liquid laundry detergent: one teaspoon; 10X liquid laundry detergent: 1/4 teaspoon for a 12-pound load of laundry.
If you have soft water in your area, use even less. For hard water that is untreated, use about one-fourth more product per load.
If you are using a pre-measured packet, use only one per load. Follow label usage directions to the letter and the packet should dissolve and disperse correctly.
For exceptionally soiled clothes, you will be much better off pre-soaking the load than adding extra detergent. If you do decide to use more detergent, add only 50 percent more per load.
If you have an extra-large capacity washer (some can hold up to 25 pounds of laundry) and you routinely fill it completely with soiled laundry, double the optimum amount of detergent suggested here. However, if you only do "regular-sized" loads (12 to 15 pounds), use less detergent.
For washing with a high-efficiency powdered commercial detergent, add two tablespoons directly to the drum before loading clothes. Do not use an automatic dispenser, the powdered detergent needs maximum exposure to the water to dissolve completely.
If you make your own homemade laundry detergent, there are no ingredients that cause excessive sudsing. Use two tablespoons of liquid or powdered homemade laundry detergent per load.

I hope that this information is helpful. Thank you for your feedback and for being a part of the Electrolux family. ~ Christy
