<p>Does anyone know if the washing machines require high efficiency laundry detergent? S will be in Virginia. Thanks.</p>
<p>Since the machines are traditional top loading type, regular detergent is required. HE detergent (low sudsing) is usually for front loading machines. Front loaders will quickly froth up suds when using conventional detergent due to their superior mechanical action in washing the clothes.</p>
<p>I think many of the machines are HE. They can be top loading and HE too. (Mine at home is.) But It may be different accordingt to the building your housed in.</p>
<p>I found the Tide “Pods” that are for HE and Regular - Figured that was the safest and easiest -</p>
