You can, but you would have to use it very sparingly - perhaps 1/2 of normal amount. HE washers work best with HE detergent - conventional detergent sudses much too heavily.

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.


What is the difference between HE laundry detergents and regular laundry detergent?

HE laundry detergents are High Efficiency detergents. They are designed to make fewer suds than regular detergents and to work in clothes washers that use less water. Regular laundry detergents create a higher amount of soap suds and need more water to rinse the detergent out of the clothes being washed. The cleaning power of the two types of laundry detergent is about the same. However, you need to use the proper detergent for the type of washer you are using so that the washer can clean the clothes to the best of its ability.

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.
