Every time you walk down the detergent aisle, you might have noticed almost every detergent packing has symbol that are letters H and E separated by a red dot in a white circle swirl. The symbol actually stands for High Efficiency detergent.
Let us take a look at that these high efficiency detergents actually are and when should one use them.
Efficient stain removers
If you come across a Detergent pack that has HE labeled on it. It means that high efficiency detergent is to be used in high efficiency washing machines which could be front load or top load. High efficiency washing machines use much less water.
High efficiency detergents are low-sudsing and quick dispersing agents that work well even in low water volume washing machines. High efficiency detergents are developed to hold soil in suspension even in low water volume so that they don’t redeposit on the clean clothes.
Need for high efficiency detergent
Most of the people across the country have grew up using standard washing machines. These washing machines were less efficient compared to the ones that are manufactured today. They would easily pull more than 35 gallons of water in a single cycle. There was a notion which meant more bubbles (froth) meant more efficient washing. Thus, more water was needed to rinse away all the suds.
Newer standard top load washers used 25 gallons of water to handle the soil and detergent residue. High efficiency washing machines usually use up to 15 gallons which is marginally lower than the one their primitive models. Since these washers used less water to rinse away stains, there was a need of a high efficiency detergent that would produce very less residue.
Using ordinary detergent in a high efficiency washer will create excess suds that will affect the tumbling action of the washer, cause the washers to leak, and cause damage to the circuitry of the system. This could further lead to voiding manufacturer’s warranty.
Using traditional detergents in high efficiency washing machines can also lead to the growth of mold and a specific odor that can last in the washer for a very long time. The residue made of suds and soil is a breeding ground for mold.
If you have bought a high efficiency washer, make sure to read the washer’s care guide if it requires high efficiency detergent. When using a single unit detergent pack, make sure that they are placed in an empty washer drum before adding the dirty laundry into the washer.

Here’s how to get your divorce records without any hassle
Read moreGetting a divorce is a tedious process. And once the lengthy process is over and the divorce has fallen through, each of the parties involved receives their copy of the divorce certificate. This document is extremely important as it is your only proof that the marriage has been legally dissolved. Whether you want to get remarried or need the divorce records for some legal pursuit, getting the divorce records in the event of losing them can be tricky, unless you know where you can find these divorce records.
While there may be quite a few options to secure the divorce records, to begin with, you will need certain concrete details such as the name of the divorce parties involved, the date of birth of each of the parties, and details pertaining to the location (state/county) where the legal judgment finalizing the divorce was acquired.
The first place to easily find your divorce records is through your attorney. On the event of finalizing any divorce judgment, every attorney carries a record of your case along with the final judgment copy for certain period, depending on their policy. However, you should always remember that at this point, the attorney will only have a copy of your divorce records and it is not the certified one that you got directly from the courts.
Another option is to reach out to the county office of the court’s clerk where your divorce was finalized and place a request by going there in person or through a phone call for a copy of your divorce records. There are some counties that have online options to put in your request. After you have provided a filled up form containing all the details required regarding both the parties, you would be required to pay a nominal fee in order to secure the records. The divorce records obtained here would be the certified copy. In case you have forgotten the county where you finalized your divorce, you can always get the same certified divorce records from the state’s Department of Vital Records. The process is similar to the county office and getting the divorce records would not be a problem as long as you furnish the required details and pay the fee.
