Over-dosing detergent is one of the most common causes of smelly washers and residue on clothes.
Use HE Detergent in HE Machines
High-efficiency machines use little water; regular detergent over-suds.
Fix: Use HE-rated detergent and follow the line marked for HE.
Less Than You Think
Detergent marketing encourages overuse; excess suds redeposit on clothes.
Fix: Start with half the recommended dose and adjust up only if needed.
Soft Water Needs Even Less
Softened water lathers more, so the same dose over-suds.
Fix: Cut the dose further if your home has a water softener.
