Here is a tip for if you are out of laundry detergent and
you need to do laundry but you don’t have the money to buy laundry
detergent. Find whatever soap you have
on hand. This could be bath bar soap,
soft hand soap, shampoo or dish soap.
Many times just water will get your clothes clean unless you have been
rolling around in mud and grease. For an
example let’s say you have soft soap hand soap on hand. Gather your clothes and look them over for
any possible stains or dirt. Take a
little soap and rub it into any stain. For
any shirts, blouses or tops, dab a little soap on the underarms as this will
aid in stain removal and under arm odor.
Again use just a dab on the stains or underarms as soft soap will have a
lot of suds when the water starts to agitate.
Take about 1/8 cup of the soft soap (around 2 tablespoons) and
mix it with some warm water to dissolve and pour this into your washing
machine. Start the water on the machine
and add the clothes. Then set your cycle
so that it is on a longer timed wash.
Let the clothes wash and agitate for as long as possible. It is the water and the agitation
that will help to get the clothes clean.
This is something that will work in a pinch BUT the next time you buy laundry detergent on sale, you may consider buying an extra bottle and set it aside for a rainy day when money is extremely tight.
