How much Tide?

For those of you who use Tide powder with an HE frontloader, how much do you use? I read somewhere online to use up to the 2 line on the scoop, but I did that and it is still sudsy after 3 rinses. So, rinse, rinse, rinse again until there are no suds. I know these things can be trial and error, just wondering what most of you do. Maybe the 1 line?

    I have an HE top loader and I only use 2 tablespoons. Generly you should only use about 1/4 the amount recommended.

    The first time I used Tide I went to the 1 line and it took me about 6 extra washes to get the suds out. I now use 1 tbs and that works much better. I also add a little borax to my washes as well.

    I use up to the 1 line, sometimes a little more. 

    Just play around with it....it's all different based on machine/water/etc.
