If you own a front-loading washing machine or a high-efficiency (HE) top loader, you need to use special low-sudsing laundry soap. We found the best performance reviews for an Amway product called SA8 (*est. 32 cents per load), but Cheer Color Guard HE costs less, is widely available and works nearly as well on stains. There are some complaints, though, about residue on clothing. Consumers looking to minimize their environmental impact should look at Seventh Generation Free & Clear (*est. 30 cents per load), which uses vegetable-based cleaning agents instead of petroleum-based. This detergent can be used in both conventional and HE machines.
We found user reviews of Cheer Color Guard at Epinions.com, most of which are very positive. One review reports that Cheer Color Guard HE can leave behind a white residue on clothes. Cheer is also tested at Consumer Reports, where it's compared against other HE detergents.
