Any major difference in top load and front load powder
I have front load WM
while top loads used to have comparatively more water consumption.
Likewise, front load detergents are designed to be just as effective with low sud (lather, soapy bubbles).. for cleaning dirty laundry.
Repeated use of non frontload detergents over long time
▪︎ might lead to skin conditions or other issues, if residue remains in the garment which is worn. underage kids or others with susceptible skin or other health issues might be more prone to such things.
▪︎ fabrics themselves might detonate over time, if residue is left in them. (Machines use very less water already and many people tend to add more than required detergent.)
this can especially be true when fabric gets ironed or the detergent is allowed to almost bond to the yarn, for repeated cycles.
Having said that, I myselves sometimes use even regular powder form of Surf Excel easy wash or Tide, in the front load, but then stop the machine after the wash cycle and rinse garments or kitchen napkins by hand.
Sometimes cotton or other fabric items do require good tumble at 100°C and i do not want to do it by hand, for lack of time or if unwell/ hand injury.
I do make it a point to wash the drum with clean water or put it on a single rinse cycle to wash off the excess powder detergent suds/ lather.
Otherwise there is no real impact to the machine itself. (Because mostly the drum is made of higher grade steel and the plastics used around it do not get damaged just because of suds/soapy bubbles.)
