Are You Weird or Just Wise?

Sometimes we have to be innovative to cope up with necessities or in cases of emergency. Like the other day, I could not go out to buy some liquid detergent for washing black colored clothes. Powdered detergents tend to leave white marks on the clothes when dried. So I got hold of our dishwashing liquid, and lo! it went to the washing machine! I added cloth softener to make the clothes smell nice. The "experiment" was successful! The clothes smell clean with no traces of detergent.

Necessity is indeed the mother of invention. As for your question, I'm a bit of both but I'm mostly weird!

Yes, I think most writers are like that! That's why some people could not understand.

I am glad that it worked but I think that dish soap produces more bubbles than washing machine soap and it could damage your machine.

@acelawrites I think using it for hand wash would be fine when needed. It was a good idea.

Oh thank you for that reminder. I will not use it again because it might damage the washing machine.

I was reminded by @BelleStarr that it could damage the washing machine. I won't use it again except if it is handwash.

I buy Ariel or Breeze. I guess I have to adjust the water level of the washing machine so it can rinse more.

That's good. We probably don't need all these different products for different things.

Maybe it depends on their perception, but never mind them, as long as you think you are wise! It is alright.
