Soaps and detergents behave differently in hard water. Soaps form a scum in hard water and this scum will not rinse away easily and is known to turn laundry a grayish hue. The insoluble film it leaves can leave a residue on your laundry much like you would see in a shower stall where hard water is present. Detergents react less to minerals in water and do not leave this residue. (3) If you live in an area where the water is soft, you will have more success with soaps, but even then a gradual build-up of calcium and magnesium ions (also called 'curd') will be left in the fabric of your diapers or any of your family's laundry over time. Another disadvantage cited with soaps is that they " . . .will deteriorate in storage and lack the cleaning power when compared with the modern synthetic surfactants."(4) Because of this, detergents have steadily become the cleaning agent of choice since World War II, because for all practical purposes - synthetic or not, they will leave your laundry cleaner.

Is sa8 laundry detergent a high efficiency detergent?
Not exactly. It's a low foam, light detergent more intended for delicate washing. However, any detergent can be used in an HE washing machine. What's happening when your HE machine foams over is a simple matter of over-activivation of the detergent that is generally inhibited by a poly-silicate in the detergent. You, however, can accomplish the same feat by a simple introduction of good old fashioned soap. Just a few shaves of your favorite bar of bar soap will keep the suds down and ensure that your HE washer can use any detergent.
