What type of detergent should I use in my Bosch washing machine?
Bosch recommends using HE (High Efficiency) detergents because they are designed to deliver optimum performance from your front-loading washer. Using non-HE detergent could cause problems such as oversudsing, extended cycle periods, or a decrease in wash performance. Do not use chlorine bleach, as this can damage the washer; instead, use detergents and solid bleaching agents based on Oxygen (like Sodium Percarbonate) which are safe to use.
