Do you really need high efficiency laundry detergent?

High efficiency (or "HE") detergent is designed to produce fewer suds (foam and bubbles) than regular detergent. So, yes, it is important to use HE detergent if you're using an HE washing machine! Using regular detergent in an HE machine would be like using regular dish washing detergent in an automatic dishwasher - imagine the foam! Using HE detergent in a regular machine, however, is just fine - only difference is that you would notice fewer suds.
