Washing clothes without soap? iin?

This morning I washed a load of clothes and forgot to put in soap powder, yet the clothes came out clean and smelling good when dry.

Anyone else done this?

IIN?

    As long as your clothes get clean I would not be concerned about it. If you really can not tell any difference in your clothes I would not see any problem with only using soap every other time you wash them.

    Your clothes are not clean. Water does not take the stench out alone.

    If water alone was a sufficient cleaner, then why is the soap industry so profitable?
    When sailing across oceans before water makers, we used to wash our clothes in sea water. Tide was the only detergent that would work, so I wonder what it's got that the others don't?

      Perhaps because most the populace is brainwashed by companies with a vested interest to use as much of their cleaning products as possible?

      Like I said, I forgot to put the soap in and the clothes weren't that dirty anyway, but they still came out looking and smelling fresh and clean.

      "Tide, the first heavy-duty synthetic detergent, was not just a new product, but a new kind of product."

    Si el agua por sí sola era un limpiador suficiente, entonces ¿por qué la industria del jabón tan rentable ?
    Al navegar a través de océanos antes de los responsables del agua , se utilizó para lavar la ropa en agua de mar . Tide fue el único detergente que trabajar , así que me pregunto lo que tiene que los otros no?

    Your clothes must not have been very dirty in the first place and the scent is from your dryer sheets.

    Fuck no. I've never forgot to put soap in but I deliberately left it out once.

    • They were more sweaty and (in some cases) come stained than anything, so no not that dirty!

        Other people who have tried it tell me if you stop using laundry soap eventually you'll notice your clothes don't smell too good. But apparently you can get away with using it only every other time or so.
