Can I make Laundry detergant out of Dr. Bronner Castile Soap and water?

Question

just wondering if i could do this or do I need to add More to it? Also I need to know if i could use it in an HE washer

Answer 1

Only in soft water.

Answer 2

I would recommend adding borax or baking soda to it. As long as you only use a little, it should be fine in an HE washer. Natural soaps aren't as sudsy because they don't have surfactants like detergents do. HE washers need detergents or soaps that aren't too sudsy, so it should be fine.
