While you may still find some high foaming laundry detergents out there, P&G along with others have finally seen sense; HE/front loading washers are here to stay and thus changes were needed.
You don't find high froth detergents (except for small niche markets like hand washing) in Europe or anywhere else front loaders dominate washing machine market. All that froth was never necessary and hinders good washing performance. For awhile P&G played fast and loose with Tide and some other of their brands, but ever increasing federal energy standards meant something had to change. Modern washing machines themselves will add extra rinses if over sudsing is detected. This and or consumers will reset their washers to rinse again to get all soap out. Either way it is a waste of resources that isn't necessary. | ||

It occurs to me that one thing you might try is adding some STPP to soften the water, if you're in a hard water area. This usually causes an increase in sudsing, and it might improve cleaning power, too.
Alternatively, you could look for a box of vintage detergent on Ebay, although they're generally grossly overpriced. | ||

One thing that could be holding down your suds is the fabric softener remaining in your laundry. STPP is a good suggestion as it would enhance sudsing yet not contribute to hard to rinse suds. | ||

Thanks for all the responses. I am going to get some of the small containers of a few different soaps and give them a try. I’ve always used tide which works well but was wanting to find something with a little more suds. | ||
