Do you add regular detergent with Nellie's washing soda?
1885851
No, absolutely not. Nellie's washing soda is the detergent. If you feel the need to add something, use Nellie's Oxygen Brightener. Both products are all natural. My clothes appear cleaner, feel softer and overall smell much better than the traditional liquid or powder. Plus, it works for my front loader just fine. Hope this helps you.

No - you only need to use the washing soda. This is, without a doubt the best product on the market.

I don't usually, however, sometimes when I am washing a heavily soiled item such as a throw rug or very muddy jeans, I will use some regular detergent and then put in Nellie's as well.

I personally added regular detergent and just used this as a booster, but I understand a lot of people use it alone...

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.

Yes. This is my daily laundry detergent that I use on everything! I use the subscribe & save to save money & get a box of this every month. It's great!

No I mix my own detergent for cloth diapers: equal parts of Borax, Washing Soda, (not baking soda) and Oxyclean. 1 scoop(tablespoon) for small load. I also put vinager in downy ball and add it to the load. This helps with odor and stains. Hope this is helpful.

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

No. At least not for my Frigidaire HE. Ordinary detergent creates more suds, which do not drain properly, making the washer smell musty/mildewy.

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!

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

I honestly don't see how it could hurt. I have a(n) he machine and I like adding some of this because I think it helps the regular detergent (or pods) clean better. It also helps a bit with that smell he washers can get. Evidently a lot of people use it to make their own detergent by combining it with other things- I was impressed by all the comments on that.

to expand on your question: i'm now using less than a quarter of a cup in a top loading machine with warm or hot water and will probably cut back some more. i like using real soap flakes rather than detergent but it's expensive.

I have a HE washer so here's my recipe. I combine in an old 64 oz jug from juice etc. 1 1/4 c Sal Suds, 1 c baking soda, and the rest water. Add the water and baking soda first leaving room for the Sal Suds otherwise it will foam up when attempting to fill it up with water. Then just turn it upside down a few times throughout the day and you'll notice the baking soda disappears. it seems to all congeal somewhat. I then pour in enough to fill up the soap dispenser and add vinegar to the rinse cup. Been washing clothes like this for years. Doesn't fade colors and has been safe for all types of fabrics. Clothes do not have a strong fragrance after drying; they are just clean.

I recommend dissolving the detergent in a few cups of water, then adding to the wash.

I have large capacity machine, just one filled scoop (which comes with your Nellie is enough). The natural products in this laundry soap do the job so a little goes a long way!!!! Small loads, medium loads, large loads, heavy duty loads, that one little scoop will do the trick, SERIOUSLY!!!! Now if you have heavy duty soil (example: my son works in outdoor work, gets extremely dirty work clothes, so when I wash his pants for instance, I will use 1-1/2 scoops, and that is because his clothes are that dirty!!!! But otherwise, use 1 scoop. Hope this helps you, let me know if I can be of any further help to you!!! Happy laundering (LOL), at least make it easier on us!!!!!

Yes - says for all washing machines including "he" here: http://www.20muleteamlaundry.com/detergent-booster/boost-your-detergent/ One thing to note: we just got a front loading machine. It says to put the powder in with the clothes instead of the detergent tray. I'm not sure of the reasoning behind that. My wife put oxi-clean powder in and there was a hardened ball of it that didn't get broken up so just make sure all your solids are not clumped up when putting into the machine. I just put the borax into the liquid tray with the liquid. Not recommending that. Not discouraging it either. ******One thing: check local prices. My wife informed me that this is less than half at the local grocery store from what I paid here.*******

If your cleaner has a separate water and detergent reservoirs, there is no mixing needed. Just pour strait into the detergent side. If only one reservoir then follow the directions on the bottle.
