i don't know why they don't make a detergent for washers that would be
ok, but there is evidently some problem about it or they would.

Any idea if the new style "H/E" laundry detergent made for the front
loaders would be a solution here?

And if you are paying a million for a condo, can't you afford to run
a new drain pipe down to the basement?

I agree with you. The H/e detergent is designed to be low suds and
should work. I never could understand the concept of a "condo" that's
nothing more than an apartment, except you can paint the walls and
change the flooring if you want.
