Shampoo is much less harsh on your clothing. If I have to do this, I add a tablespoon or two of baking soda along with the shampoo, for added cleaning oomph.

It works great on them, and does not bleach them. fauxpaslover: I live in a rural area, and many on wells have clothes that are clean, but get dingy really quickly due to mineral content in their wells. Several use bleach regularly, even though it fades their colors quickly. Unfortunately, bleach cannot be used on synthetics such as bras and undies since it makes them yellow. Sometimes, we just want a quicker, easier, or alternative way to deal with things in a pinch.

Everything stays really white instead of being dingy gray.

I've used it for hand washing clothes and the trick there is to add it after the water is in the container to minimize the suds. Still you have to rinse and rinse. I'd say regular dishwashing liquid, just a small amount, would be ok in a pinch if you aren't too sensitive.

You can use it in a pinch as a bleach replacement for your whites, but not recommended for colores. Test this out yourself. Fill your kitchen sink with very hot water and stir in some dishwasher soap, and leave it till it cools. You will see a difference in your kitchen sink, now imagine that on your clothes.""

Posted on 05/04/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Doing Laundry With Dishwashing Detergent By theroadrunnerla (61) Contact I've used dishwashing liquid before to do a load of laundry, and it worked well enough. I think I used about 1/4 cup for a regular size load. I did find that it gave a different "feel" to my clothes when I removed them from the washer. One tip that I got off this website was to add about a tablespoon of Dawn dishwashing liquid to my regular detergent to help get out extra grime on clothes, and it works exceptionally well! Great for oil/grease stains if you treat the stain as soon as possible. Posted on 05/04/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse
