When washing things by hand, does it create suds?

Very little. If I had a choice I would prefer to use a liquid detergent (I use Planet Dishwashing Liquid) for hand wash.

I use a soapy wet rag and then rinse the rag and make sure I get any suds left off. Works well

They get kind of whitish when they're used up. I usually get at least 5-6 washes out of them. For the first wash I put them in with a little hot water & let them agitate to soften them & get them started. Then, if I'm around the machine, I stop it after the wash cycle & switch it to the last spin. In my machine it sprays just a little water before spinning. As for suds, I've seen where we are a product of marketing when we believe that suds are what cleans things. It is hard to change thinking on that but I've been very happy with the soap nuts. If you start the first load by agitating them in a little hot water before you put the clothes in, you will actually see "suds". In fact, that might be another way to tell when they're used up. If you agitate them by themselves for a minute & you don't see any "suds" you know they're "done". I still save them & let them dry. You can look online how to use them for household cleaner.

No it doesn't... But stiff enough material to do a good surface wash, with vinager and water...or disinfectant wipes...

Manufacture says no, hand wash only. I want to use them for a long while, so I wash them by hand.

I have always washed mine by hand - not for any particular reason, it's just been convenient at the time.

I do not suggest for that purpose, the soap would become diluted as it is designed to work with water. It is great for hand soap and I love it, but I would not use it for dishwashing purposes.

I always wash mine by hand, just seems smart when items have wood handles. :)

I wash mine by hand but also run through the dishwasher every once in a while without problem.

I wash mine by hand mostly and sometimes in the dishwasher if I'm about to start a load.

Don't know. I wash it by hand. I guess I'll find the answer to your question when I open the dishwasher and find someone else put it in there�

No suds. Just a creamy solution that leaves no greasy mess behind. I rinse and finish with a white washcloth which rinses clean. No make-up residue on the cloth.

It depends. For delicate things I use hand soap, but for my ink pens I use warm water with a few drops of detergent.

Yes. I just wash with detergent and warm water, rinse with clean water, and dry.

Yes. I just run hot water through it. I don't use detergent just because I have this thing about lingering taste of the soap.

I have not used it directly on clothing items, but have used it in home made laundry soap and had no issues.

I really don't know. I wash it out by hand as we use it for it's original purpose.
