Dr. Bronner's

So in the quest to rid our home of toxic cleaners, I've come across Dr. Bronner's soaps.  On their website, it says you can use it for laundry use.  Does anyone here do this? I've read the posts about making homemade laundry detergent and was just wondering.

I only use it for the shower. I use seventh gen products in my HE washer. I would be too afraid to use it unless I washed by hand.

I use their bar soap when making laundry detergent. I like it.

You can use their soap bar for laundry detergent OR you can use some of their liquid soap as well. I'd google some recipes. I make laundry detergent with another bar soap, borax, baking soda and washing soda and usually add a small squirt of liquid Dr. Bronner's soap to the laundry cycle as well.

FWIW you can also get other castile soap that is not the dr. bronner name for cheaper.

Thanks, I did see that WF sells a store brand.

I've been known to squirt it directly into the laundry soap dispenser.  I've also used it for tattoos.  You can't go wrong.

What brands do you recommend?

I make my own soap/ sometimes use Method and am working on making my own liquid soap for ease of use.  We didn't have an HE washer before we moved and I think the liquid will work better.
