P&G Seems Finally To Have Gotten Wise
Days of old school top loaders are over. Detergents must work in HE/H-axis or whatever washers, and that means rinsing cleanly in less water.
P&G long has known how to produce powdered or even liquid detergents that work well in front loaders. They've been doing it in Europe for years. But they stuck American housewives and others who do laundry with various poor performing versions of "HE" Tide. Guess Henkel's Persil has shaken P&G up a bit. That and people are wising up that there are other detergents which work well as Tide (but without the tons of suds), in HE or other washers. | ||

Wondering about the liquid Also have a several years old bottle of Tide Original Turbo HE and it too was high suds tough rinse, so I’m wondering if the Iiquit has been reformulated too. | ||

Same here
First front loader (Malber, Italian Merloni washer), came with a sample box of Tide "HE", or so it said.
Fool that I am used entire box; it was Bobby Brady does laundry all over. Thankfully this was during business hours and one frantic call to Malber service department solved problem. Was advised to drain machine of water, then pour some sort of oil (olive, mineral, etc...) into drum then let machine fill and complete one cycle. That did it and never touched Tide HE again for some time. | ||

It takes a long time to break old habits
I think most Americans wanted to see some suds during their wash cycles. After decades of detergent marketing telling them "when you see a good, thick layer of Tide's suds you know your wash is getting clean," they came to believe it. Of course that was a carry over from the days of soap, and in the case of soap it was true. Not true with detergents.
As washing machines and laundry habits slowly changed, many folks could not believe their clothes could get clean without gobs of suds and huge amounts of water. P&G gave their customers what they wanted, not what they needed. P&G and other manufacturers have finally wised up, and maybe because their customers have too. Today's detergents do a much better job without generating foam, improving the machines performance -- whether you are using a front loader or top loader, vintage or modern machine. | ||
