Can I use Shampoo for Laundry Soap?
Question:
Answers:
in a pinch i have used shampoo and dish washing soap but i wouldn't do it all the time ... plus if you put to much in there you'll have a sudsy mess lol
No way you will oversuds, buy detergent
No, too many suds.. borrow some from a neighbor if you can't get to the store or use 1c. of baking soda.. If you are really stuck.
Yes. Here's the catch. You need to use a shampoo for color treated hair because it doesn't suds up. Not sure how clean it will get your clothes. Do not use the same amount you would use as if you were using regular laundry detergent.
just drop in a bar of soap with the load of clothes
probably a small amount, but i would turn to dish soap first before shampoo - and again, only in a small amount
In a pinch, it works. Especially the anti-tangle type works well to "loosen up" clothing that might have been accidentally tossed in a drier and shrank.
Yes you can , but use very little, say about 1 tablespoonful. If you put more than this you will have lot´s of suds . Also they will not be rinsed properly. If it´s just a few clothes you are going to wash. wash them in the tub first with cold water, rinse them a little then pop them in the machine. If you have a nice neighbor, pop over and ask for a cup of washing powder, sure they won´t mind, just until you buy some of your own.
Lol. Did you run out of laundry detergent? I hate when that happens! Shampoo doesn't clean very well, plus it over suds. Try using a little baking soda with a very small amount of shampoo or lemon juice.
It works if you're out of laundry soap and just have to wash a load NOW. I've done it many times. Shampoo, though, contains sodium laureth sulfate, which is a sudsing agent, so don't overdo it. I've also used dishwashing soap for laundry soap. And body wash for laundry soap. And you can use hair conditioner as fabric softener!
Use laundry detergent instead of shampoo.
