Is sa8 laundry detergent a high efficiency detergent?

Answer:

Not exactly. It's a low foam, light detergent more intended for delicate washing.

However, any detergent can be used in an HE washing machine. What's happening when your HE machine foams over is a simple matter of over-activivation of the detergent that is generally inhibited by a poly-silicate in the detergent. You, however, can accomplish the same feat by a simple introduction of good old fashioned soap. Just a few shaves of your favorite bar of bar soap will keep the suds down and ensure that your HE washer can use any detergent.
