or will my floor end up like an Ibiza Foam Party?

I use the Dr Bronnner to wash the floors ( almond , its lovely) .
I use DP Liquid Soap to wash my jumpers ( in the machine) it works well but there's no scent .
So can I swap them? Anyone do this ?
TIA

I wouldn't. I think it would be OK as a clothes/delicate hand wash but I'd be too scared to use it in the machine. A little goes a long way. It's probably fine and I might try it if you do first...

Ah that link says to add vinegar to rinse which would defeat the purpose of the nice smell. !
Maybe it stops it all gumming the machine up ?

I have a couple of waterproof items that say to use soap flakes for washing. I've used Dr B for that in the washing machine. No vinegar rinse, hadn't read about that.

Well, I would go for no scent every time. I really don’t get the English idea that reeking of scent equals properly clean.

I have used it in the wm for a wool wash. I only put a tiny bit in. Maybe a tablespoon.

I think you'd get soap scum buildup in the machine eventually, probably what the vinegar is trying to fight. I also thing you'd need to wash hot to get a decent clean.

I'm going to give it a try when I do the next jumper wash ( they're either cotton or cotton/vicose at the moment with a couple of the M&S lightweight softknit in there - not wool ones )

If I d a hot wash after that ( white towels) it should clear it .

I had visions of an avalanch of suds , many years ago my flatmade used FairySnow flakes (not the one for machine washing) in a softwater area , there was suds coming out of every bit of the machine Shock
