Is that what they call stuff that's just less diluted with water?
I remember the front-end washers at the dorms had signs about using less of the concentrated stuff. Nobody followed them -- they'd put gobs of crap and powder detegent and stuff in them. Personally, I just followed the directions and eyed up approximately +/- 20% of what it suggested. Always came out fine for me. Now fabric softener and dryer sheets, those were more complicated and important, especially in the dry upper midwest.
Vix, how does dilution of a detergent affect the bearings of a washing machine?
fuck efficient!

No clue. I'm only doing what the dude told me when I bought the machines.The manual warns against NOT using the HE products too.

Well im sold. To never buy a front load W/D! Jesus, do this. Don't do that. Leave the door cracked aproximately 12 1/2 degrees north to the polar cap to ensure mold wont grow....
Here's a scenario on what luandry day looks like for me.
Throw clothes in washer
Pour whatever the fuck detergent i want to in.
Kick the shit out of the side to ensure proper lid closer
Turn on and walk away.

I looked it up:
The front load uses up to 60% less water and up to 68% less energy than conventional top loading machines, saving you on those electricity bills. As well as the water conservation front loads are much gentler on your clothes. The main reasons for this are because they have a drum with no agitator, and your clothes will not get caught and stretch.
So they save you money on your water bill, your electric bill, and your clothes bill.
We're talking about different kinds of washers here, but this reminds me of the other night when I ran out of regular dishwasher detergent and put in regular detergent... ended up with a kitchen floor of bubbles. oops
