Update:

I know that HE is not a brand. What I meant was I am looking for a brand that are HE. Thanks to those who replied earlier but what I meant locally is that those available in my country - Philippines.

    It's hard to say. They usually have a HE on the front label. All HE means is that it doesn't suds so much which could be solved by just using less detergent (they recommend too much anyway) . What you could do is go to your local supermarket, write down the brands and their manufacturers of the detergents that you like the quality of and look up their website to see if they have any HE versions of their detergent.

    Your question doesn't quite make sense to me, but let me try. Front loaders need a TYPE of detergent that is called highly efficient (HE). That's not a brand name.

    Almost all laundry detergent brands now make HE (Tide, All, Cheer, Gain, etc.), and they are liquids. They are concentrated, specially made not to create too many suds, and rinse out easier in the smaller amount of water a front loader uses. Look for the HE symbol on the bottle; it's a blue oval with the letters h and e. There's a little orange dot between the two letters. You can find all kinds of it at any grocery or discount store.

    Hope this helps.

    There are some High Efficiency detergents. Some don't come in all the great detergent scents. There is tide w/ febreze, gain original, tide, tide clean breeze, tide w/ downy, tide w/ dawn scrubbers, wisk, era, purex, all, and some more I can't think of. Gain smells so good and same with tide w/ febreze !

    I even have had a front loader for 7 years and it does a suitable job cleansing, i will in no way bypass lower back. I certainly have been washing fabric diapers in it for 2 years. you relatively do no longer want very plenty cleansing soap, the device does the artwork. I in trouble-free terms use some Tablespoons. you may purchase the particular cleansing soap, or merely use much less of the traditional stuff.

    "HE" Is not a brand but a type of detergent...Look for a blue circle on the box with "HE in it and a swoosh around it like the nike or kenmore swoosh..

    Sears carries ONLY "HE" detergent now, VERY highly concentrated.. :-)

    Source(s): http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_032096690... See the little "HE" circle on the top left of the label ?
