As you know top loaders use less water and detergent than a front
loader. Even less detergent if you have soft water or use a water
softener. It should be OK to use Tide Free in your front loader, but
I suggest using half as what is recommended, perhaps a third or half
cup to a large load. If you do not see any suds, add a tablespoon more
of detergent to the next load. It is a trial and error thing, but
eventually you will know the proper amount. Too much detergent, and
you'll have a mess to clean up!

No. Tide in powder or liquid form is safe for septic tanks.
