can you use homemade liquid laundry soap in these washers?

I have used both liquid and powder homemade laundry soap. We haven't had any problems at all, although we have only had the washer for a few months. I think if you have a low sudsing formula and use an appropriate amount, you would be fine (just like any other detergent.....you don't need much)

I used them in my homemade hair oils. Not sure how they would do in soaps. They are for external use only.

For hard water: use 1 cup soap flakes, 1 cup washing soda, and 1 cup baking soda.Note: This recipe can be safely used in HE washers.

I've done that and it's worked out ok. I'd be very careful with what you use. You do not want too much soap. Less is better. Also important - cleaning of the machine afterwards.

Yes. Use only a mild detergent in the washer and low heat setting in dryer but do not use a dryer sheet.

There is no place to add soap directly into or through the surface cleaner unit. It is just an alternative to the power washer wand and it is very effective. Most if not all power washers that you would use with the surface cleaner have a way to introduce soap or cleansers.

Can you take the liquid dispenser out? We have a Samsung HE washer and the little cup for the liquid comes out so you can add powder in the drawer. I always put the soap in the soap drawer and have not had any problems with it. I guess I didn't read the directions very carefully because I never saw to put the soap straight into the washer :)

I am sorry! I don't do soap making! When I use these oils it will be for making hair care products. Sorry I was not much help.

I've used Epsom salts & they work great. Be really easy on the soap or it'll overflow, but yes you can use soap.

Yes you can, you can make a liquid by boiling a few on the stove in water for a few minutes then use that to wash your hair. We also sell an actual shampoo that contains soap nut liquid.

Yes, you add water for the wash, add clothes and soap, run the wash cycle, drain, add water for the rinse, run through the wash cycle again without soap, drain. Take the clothes out of washer, squeeze a bit, put them into the spin section and run. The clothes are very clean and get as dry as they would from a regular washer spin cycle. Much easier for me than washing by hand. Tip: you only need a very small amount of soap, Even a little too much soap and you'll probably have to rinse several times.

Kind of. You can put regular liquid soap in... If you add water (dilution amount is listed on product) and leave space for air (also listed inside the pump), you will make any liquid soap into a foam hand soap....But it will clog and not work if you try to have it just dispense regular liquid soap

I just purchased and installed the WM2016CW washer. As a complete newb to the front-loader universe, I set out to run the first load of laundry. I was rewarded with water and suds all over the floor. I called customer service in a panic and the rep told me I probably added too much detergent. Fair enough. Crisis averted. She then went on to lecture me that the WM2016CW is not meant to be used with liquid detergent (even if it's HE). She said it should only use powdered detergent. I referred her to the manual and LG's own website which explicitly state that you can use either in the machine. I'm not sure who to believe, but according to at least one LG customer service rep, the detergent of choice should be powdered.

I don't know if there is such a thing as foaming liquid soap -- it's just the dispenser that does it. We use liquid dish soap and it works fine.

I only use as hand washed items. I do not know how it would work in a washer.

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.

Yes! I put mine in my washing machine with cold water and a light soap. Just do not let it spin! I let mine soak for a while and then took it out to air dry then drained the washing machine. It helped get some of the slick stuff off the top.
