HE detergent is just less concentrated. HE washers use much less

I thought it was that HE detergent doesn't have added foaming agents:
foam/suds isn't/aren't needed for cleaning, but they're added because
people think they indicate cleaning power.

Yes, the suds cause problems with rinsing. OK to use HE in a regular
washer, not the other way around. Many brands are now HE compatible
since they are becoming the bigger segment of washers.

When we bought a new HE machine I went to find HE detergent. They I
loooked and found ALL liquid has been HE for a couple of years.
