I bought Daz hand-wash powder accidentally. I never hand-wash I just push the garmets to the bottom of the wash basket forever. Can I throw the Daz in the washing machine so as not to waste it or is that a bad idea?

It may have extra foaming agent with it being handbags so if you use it do it sparingly.

I always do this and have never had a problem and I didn't realise it was for handwashing only until now.

I don't put huge amounts in though so not sure if that makes a difference?

Thank you both. I'll use it sparingly

I put handwash powder in my machine years ago by accident. It froths up too much for a front loading automatic so the machine stopped. I realised what I had done while the engineer was looking at the machine. I owned up and he didn't charge me. Since then I keep the handwash powder far away from the washing machine!

Can you use normal washing powder in a top loader?

The short answer is very simple. No, you should not use regular detergents in a high-efficiency washer. Only HE (high efficiency) detergents should be used in these newer washers. High-efficiency front or top-loading washers are designed with low water levels and a tumbling washing action.

Is hand washing powder the same as machine washing powder?

Auto washing powders do not contain chemicals that could potentially harm the rubber and other elements of a washing machine like solvents or chlorine. Hand-washing powders do. Hand-washing powders contain ingredients that are easy on the skin, enabling it to be used when hand washing. Auto washing powders do not.

How do you use laundry powder in a top load washer?

In top-loading machines, lift the lid and add the powder directly to the drum before adding clothes. Just like with front-loading machines, the bottom of the drum is the best place for water to reach the powder and dissolve it near the beginning of the wash cycle.
