Bobby, Try a 1/4 cup in the front loader. The softer the water, the less detergent you will need.
PS: Have you used the Frigidaire front loader yet?

The Frigidaire is still in the box. I have an I-18 that I have to play with first. Isn't 1/4 cup kind of stingy for a double capacity washer? It fills up with ~20 gallons.

Bobby, Yes that is kind of stingy. lol
I thought you were using the Frigidaire. I meant the 1/4 for the Frigidaire.
My parents had a Rapid Dry 1000 and then a 1-18. Bot were great machines. How do you like the 1-18?
Now for the 1-18. I would start out with 1/2 cup, see how the suds form and add more if needed.
I did a large load of towels in the LG last night, 1/4 cup detergent, with the soft water I have in the house. They rinsed out fine. I will let you know how the feel after drying. They are dried and still in the dryer. lol

1-18's are easy to sudz-lock, like the old BD Whirly/'Kenmo's.
If the water is really soft, better to start off with a half a cup and see what happens.

The I-18 isn't fully uncrated. I have lots of pics to share soon!

Foca in a FL
So this is my first post here....I've lurked on this site for a long time, but never signed up! I found the Foca detergent at Wal-Mart today and decided to try it since I was out of Tide.
I'll have to say I was impressed by it. I have a front-load Frigidaire washer and it seems to work very well with it! The Tide tended to create too much suds and suds-lock the machine, the Tide HE didn't seem to clean very well with our hard water, and Gain tended to leave a residue on dark colors, so I figured the Foca was worth a shot.
I'm surprised since the Foca seems to suds VERY little in my machine. Seems to be the opposite conclusion that some other people have noticed on here. How much detergent are y'all using anyway? I used about 1/2 cup and it seems to have done a great job.
I've attached a video as well. (Yes, I'm a Youtube addict...) To those here who have videos of their machines up, know that I've watched most of them!
