Your Maytag Neptune ® washer is designed
to use either high efficiency (HE) deter-
gents or regular detergents normally used
with top-loading washers.
• For best cleaning results, use a high efficiency detergent
such as Tide HE or Wisk HE*. High efficiency detergents
contain suds suppressors which reduce or eliminate
suds. When less suds are produced, the load tumbles
more efficiently and cleaning results are maximized.
• When using regular detergent formulated for top-
loading washers, it is important to pay close attention to
the soil level of the load, load size, and water hardness**.
To avoid over-sudsing, reduce the amount of
detergent used with soft water or with small or
lightly soiled loads.
* Brand names are trademarks of the respective manufacturers.
** To determine water hardness in your area, contact your local water
utility or State University Extension office in your area.

1. Pour laundry detergent directly into the detergent com-
partment before starting the clothes washer or as the
washer is filling.
2. If color-safe bleach is to be used, it should be added with
detergent to the detergent compartment for best results.
• When adding color-safe bleach with detergent, it is best if
both laundry products are in the same form; granular or
liquid.
