I've used several things. I'm out now, and need to know!

There is probably enough residual detergent left in your clothes and the washer to get by using just water for one or two loads. You might not get grass stains out, but "normal" dirt will probably come out just fine. If you look in the tub during the first wash cycle, you'll probably see some suds on top even without using any detergent.

A Sears repair man (not the same one referred to in the jokes I posted a few minutes ago) suggested I use about half the detergent that's recommended on the bottle. Unless you have hard water, you don't need that much to clean your clothes.

I went with dishwashing detergent.
I considered the horse blood thing, yet decided against it, believing it may indicate some sort of wierd religion connection.

You ran out of laundry detergent?

Go to the next door neighbor's house. Ask if you can borrow a cup of laundry detergent.

Or, you could use baking soda. It will take the odors out of your clothes.



(Or you could go to the store and buy some more laundry detergent.)

Cathy beat me to it - that's exactly what I was going to say!

I just keep digging further and further into the back of the closet to find older, rattier clothes to wear instead.

Woolite. (or does that count as laundry detergent? ;) )

Do you seriously believe that EarlJam has Woolite at his house? Does he even have fine washables?

Well, with all his talk about stockings, I thought there was a chance.... ;)

Dr. Bronner's Peppermint Liquid Soap.
That's also the the only soap I take camping. I clean dishes with it, shampoo, bath and brush my teeth it too. One ounce can last through a weekend easy.

Oh, I TOEtally forgot about the stockings! ;)

Yup. Use Woolite.

Well, there is another way. Ughh...Let your landlord do your laundry for you. Ahem.

That's my grandson's favorite soap. We keep some in the outside shower at the lake. Very invigorating when in your birthday suit outside. But, it can sure clean out your sinuses used indoors!!!

I would caution EJ not to use but a spoonful or so in his washer. The suds may be overwhelming!
Love, Ima

I walk up the street to Family Dollar and get more detergent.

Well, if you insist. Come on up to the lake for a shower and I'll take your picture.
