So, can dish soap be used for laundry? Yes, but it’s like asking, “Can I eat soup with a fork?” You can, but why would you make life harder for yourself? Laundry detergent is cheap, it’s designed for the job, and it won’t leave you mopping up a flood of bubbles at midnight.
Save the dish soap for your greasy plates and that one emergency stain—it’s a hero there. But for a whole load of laundry? Leave it on the shelf. Your machine, your clothes, and your future self will breathe a sigh of relief. And you can say, “I learned that lesson the bubbly way.”
Now go buy some detergent. I’ll wait. Really, I’m sitting here, tapping my foot.
