Has anyone used this to shred laundry soap? I make homemade detergent and want to break down bar soap in one of these.

I don't think it would do well. I tried to mix garlic and butter and the butter didnt work out. It would spin around a revolution or two and then move to the top and not make contact with the blades any longer

I did use this in my kitchen but it was used in a sink that was primarily used for hand washing. It was not used on the sink used for clean up or food prep. I suppose that it could be used that way but I think it is really intended to be used with a bar sink. This may also be available in a larger form factor that would be more suitable for kitchen use.

It would be too much work to take apart. Not feasible for Laundromat trips. Moves laundry thru out the house & I use it to put all my groceries in at the front door, close up the car & then wheel everything to the back freezer & kitchen. It's a quality piece & not the flimsy typical laundry product.

I have heard there is a recipe for laundry detergent you can make with Dr. Bronners and washing soda and a few other things - I do not have the recipe - could you Google it? I know it makes a ton and is very cheap - a friend gave me a jug - it worked great.

I throw it in my HE washer with bleach. That works the best. An HE washer has no agitator. I would think a washer with an agitator would still work, but it might set it off balance.

I made the liquid when I used them so I didn't have the actual soap nuts in the wash. Stopped using them long ago and just make my own detergent from soap, washing soda and borox.

I have an HE front loader and I use the soap nuts. It works fine. I have not had any issues. I just make sure that I throw in the bag with the soap nuts first so it sits at the very bottom and then throw my clothes in.

I have used it separately because it said it is laundry detergent. I will say it is not meant for cleaning so much. I use it for my bedding and for my towels and washcloths. I've come full circle. I use the standard detergent first and the allergen last.

Aspaceia, I haven't used them with hand soap or bar soap but I have used them w liquid Castile soap and they work great. I don't see any reason why they would work well with other kinds of soaps. Think of them like ordinary baby wipes when wet.

What a great idea! I think the glass of course would be great for holding laundry detergent. that being said, I'm hesitant to recommend this dispenser for laundry detergent. I don't know if the detergent would be too thick for the spigot and cause clogging. Also the spigot is not stainless and I'm not sure how well it would hold up to constant exposure to the detergent. You could always buy a stainless spigot replacement if it was a problem, but still not sure about a thicker liquid clogging it.

I use it to make my own laundry soap by mixing 1 cup of this with 1 cup of Borax and 2 cups of Fels-Naptha or Zote soap.

I just tossed mine after it burned up from making CP soap in less than a year and about 15 batches. It was a pain to clean and the plastic bottom broke when it fell over.

I am new to HE washers and have looked up this question online. Most sites say NO because regular detergents produce lots of suds; HE detergents clean with little water. If you use regular detergent your clothes will be sitting in a lather of suds. You can damage your washer when the high amount of soapy suds try to drain. Look it up yourself and see. I would tend to believe it. Frankly, you use a very little amount of the new detergents so it's not like they're just trying to make us buy more detergent.

Absolutely. It's the only one I use for lye soap. Had issues with other brands

I love my soap Cruet. I leave it out on the sink for fast use. I have broken one, you have to remember it is glass. But that is what I love about it. I do use it for dishwashing soap. As soon as I broke my old one, I replaced it. That is how much I love it.

Hello: I used this to clean two SU carbs with no problems, looks like the strength is still good. Only a partially full gallon container, so space maybe an issue, but worked good for me.Don

It can if you get the small bottles. I wouldn't recommend this for laundry detergents. It's very small. I use it for food storage like cans, etc.
