I read the manual for my washer and have followed that. It “prefers” liquid but can take powder. That being said, I have a few items of clothing that explicitly say powdered detergent only (water repellent material). I’ve found overall that the less liquid detergent I put in, the better it cleans stuff.
Every 20 cycles (my machine tells me) or 1 month, throw in a cleaning powder with either the clean cycle or a heavy hot wash. It’ll help keep it fresh. Also keep the door open when you’re not using the washer to air it out, same reason.
