can you use this stuff as a laundry detergent or is it for use as a booster?

I use this (and only this) as my laundry detergent, I add baking soda as a booster. It's GREAT if you have sensitive skin (my grandsons do). It will not foam up like regular detergents do (don't add extra). if your laundry load is less than a full load, cut back on the washing soda. It doesn't leave any residue in your clothes like regular laundry detergent does. Hope this helps. I have been using this and only this for the past 4 years. No complaints!!!!!

It is a detergent/soap. I think Nellie's also has a separate booster product you can buy.

Definitely not to be used in replacement for a detergent. I have really hard water too (Florida) and use it as a booster. It says it does act as a water softener. I also use a fabric softener (liquid) and notice a difference. For the price, I say try it out & see. Worst case if you don't notice a difference, you haven't lost much money. And it can also be used as a household cleaner if you don't notice a difference. The box has a ton of instructions for use on it. Hope that helps!

I make my own detergent using Borax, Baking Soda, Laundry Soda and washing soap. To do this you have to mix 2 tablespoons with hot water to liquefy this for my front load HE washing machine. So if you just use this I would think you could mix a measured amount with hot water and use it.

I used it to scent dryer balls so my laundry smelled like vanilla and I used it at full strength, just a couple drops.

We use it for our bedding sheets. Not quite sure if it really makes a difference or not. You add it on with your regular laundry detergent.

I make my own laundry detergent with 1 bar of Ivory Soap, 1 cup borax, 1 cup washing soda. Heat the soap, blend it into a powder, then mix in remaining ingredients. Use 1-2 TBSP per load. It works great is super cheap!

I tried this but cleaner did not perform as well without booster pump. Only need to run cleaner a couple of hours.

Use Borax as a booster with detergent, Borax works great for whites in warm/hot water.

Bac-out works best as a spot treatment rather than laundry additive. It works on bright colors but I would spot test first to be safe. You can dilute it if necessary depending on what concentrate you buy

Yes! I use it for all my colored laundry. It works fantastically to preserve colors as they are. There's no color depositing from the detergent. I've used this product for years and love it.

I don't think it gets clothes as clean as regular detergent. I was disappointed with the lack of smell and unclean feel when washing a normal (for us) size load. Perhaps a much smaller load may make a difference. I haven't tried that.

I have a front loader and I add it directly to the laundry. I use one or two scoops depending on load, no less no more. After eight months of use, I continue to love this detergent.

I would not think so as it is listed under the Laundry section on the manufacturers website and the description also states that this is best used with laundry.

For a large load I would not use more than 1/4 of a cap full. It is not officially an "he" detergent so just experiment with it until you find the right amount. Good luck.

I did not use this with detergent. I followed the directions on the bottle.

This is a thick plastic tub, so I don't see why you couldn't use it for laundry. However, that is a LOT of laundry.

Dear Mocha: The laundry "SODA" is used to cleaning clothes, althought its chemichal content differ from detergents. Anyway NELLIES LAUNDRY soda IS A POWDER.
