What is the recommended detergent for Maytag washing machines?

Asked 2 years ago
Maytag recommends using high-efficiency or HE detergent in their washing machines, particularly for front-loading and top-loading models that utilize this technology. HE detergents are specially formulated to produce fewer suds and disperse quickly, which helps to improve cleaning performance while being gentle on fabrics. When selecting a detergent, it is essential to verify that it is clearly labeled as high-efficiency. Using regular detergent may lead to an excessive buildup of soap suds, which can affect the washing machine's functionality and cause issues such as poor cleaning results or even damage over time. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions regarding both the amount of detergent to use and the type of load being washed. For further information and to find specific product recommendations, users may want to explore the Maytag website for their current resources and guidelines.
