Dr. Bronner's liquid soap as a laundry detergent?

[Indoobidubly]

Is it okay to do this?

Would it cause an allergic reaction or some kind of build up on the clothes? Or would the soap stick to the fabric, etc?

Thanks.

I have no idea - I was actually wondering about this the other day! A friend of mine gave me a bottle, and I have no idea what to use it for. So I'll be lurking around to find out, too. Thanks!

I am not sure how to use it in the laundry, I am curious also. I use it as a body wash, I love the lavender scented kind! I ran out a few months back and am trying to get rid of all the other stuff that I have around and then I am going to buy a gallon to have on hand at all times. I heard it has a variety of uses. Maybe, I will see if there is a website with some information!

Here's the way to use Dr. Bronners all around the house.

I have the peppermint and add a dash to the detergent I normally use (a variety of stuff--mostly fragrance-free natural, unless something is truly foul/dirty/greasy) and my clothes smell fabulous. When they say a little goes a long way, believe it. I also sometimes add a droplet of tea-tree oil when I want something to smell extra fresh like fabric dog toys.

I also used the peppermint kind as an additive to my normal laundry soap cause I love the smell. But my FAVORITE use for the soap is to wash the floors. I put a squirt or two in a bucket of hot water and the whole house smells like peppermint- guess you got to love peppermint though...

IME the soap leaves a ring in your washer

just like when your child takes a bath and there is a ring around the tub! I use Dr. Bronner's Sal Suds. It's biodegradeable and I use the graywater to water my plants so you know it's safe if my plants are still alive!

I use a teensy dollop of the lavendar in with a healthy scoop of baking soda to do my laundry - it smells fabulous
