Does anyone have a HM Laundry detergent Recipe for HE washing machines?

You can use borax and washing soda. I use Charlie's Soap because I find it more economical than homemade, but I used to make my own using the above ingredients. Lots of info if you google those ingredients and detergent. Good luck!

I just use the regular HM detergent recipe in my HE front loader. It does not suds up.

I use 1 bar grated Fels naptha, 1 cup each borax and washing soda. Dissolve the bar soap in boiling water and then add everything to a 5gallon bucket with lid. Fill with water and stir well. Will gel up, so need to stir it a few days in a row. I use about 1/4 to 1/2 cup per load.
HTH.
