Using gel dishwashing liquid for other usues!!

16 years ago

Just wondering if the non phospate (green)Gel dishwashing liquid used for automatic dishwashers can be used to wash dishes in the sink or maybe as a laundery detergent. It is inexpensive and is considered a green product usually anything green is more expensive. Anyone tried this let me know, Thanks

When I get to the bottom of a bottle I fill it with hot water and use it in my load of whites. Dishwashing detergent has bleach in it so I wouldn't use in the load of colored clothes. I also use it to hand wash gunky dishes.
