What if I run out of bathing soap and I decide to go with my detergent?
Is it safe?

That means you've turned your skin to laundry, try it out and let's see the consequences.🤷

If it's not often, you only run out of your soap or bodywash and you use detergent like once in 6 months or even a year, nothing negative will definitely happen. If you turn it to frequent habit however, I don't know if it will be safe.

@Biu, let me get this straight.

You've asked if dishes could be done in the bathroom

You've asked if soaking alone without washing could make clothes clean

Now, it's if you could take your bath with detergent.

How do you come up with these weird questions?

I've learnt from them and still learning though but how do you come up with them?

I hope you won't come here someday and ask if you could spray air freshener on your body instead of perfume.

🤣🤣🤣🤣How do you know my next intending question?

I remember I told you guys how I came up with the bathroom plate washing question.

Please leave me with my curiosity 😂

I don't think it's safe because of the chemicals in detergent, there's a reason it's called detergent and with the sole purpose of doing laundry not bathing.

I'd rather use a multi-purpose bar soap to bathe instead of detergent.
There are multi-purpose bar soaps you could use for both laundry and bathing, most people have this bar soap handy as well, and they are safe for the skin. I can continue bathing with the multi-purpose bar soap for as long as I want but not with detergent.

I think it's safe, it may not be a good option though. There was a time I ran out of my bathing soap and bathed with detergent for a week or thereabout, nothing happened to my skin, still the same.
I only noticed my body stayed fresher for longer period.

There are different types of detergent, some are with chemicals that are friendly to the skin while some are not.
Non-bio detergents for instance are made with chemicals that reduce skin irritation for those with sensitive skin.
So if you use this kind of detergent, it could be safe.
However, if you have sensitive skin and go ahead to bathe with a Bio detergent, you could develop issues especially when used more than once.

So I'd say just be aware of your skin type and be familiar with the different types of detergents so you could know the one that would be safe for you in this type of situation (when you are stranded).

Don't turn it to a habit though.

Wow! Great

If it's not safe, I believe it will be boldly written on every container of each detergents.
That doesn't mean you should say I asked you to bathe with detergent please, just saying

Do you mean you noticed @bolded with detergent?

This is damn hilarious.
@Op, I remember using it at a time and my only observation was that, it saves water since it's not going to foam like soap. You won't have to rinse with excess water.
So if you want to save water, you can go for it.

Does the bolded imply you can substitute non-bio detergent for bathing soap or bodywash?

Quote from: Daninit on Oct 02, 2024, 11:12 PMDoes the bolded imply you can substitute non-bio detergent for bathing soap or bodywash?

Nope, what I'm trying to say for example is, when you handwash with certain detergents (commonly bio detergents), if you have sensitive skin, you could notice your hands or fingers are peeling.
Some people could develop body itching even after they sun dry their clothes adequately as a result of using bio detergents, this is common with babies and it's due to certain chemicals used in the production of those detergents.

Now, non-bio detergents can help these kind of people with reduced to no irritation, because they're made of skin-friendly chemicals. So it could be safe bathing with these type of detergent. That's what I mean.

Oh...Ok

Don't! It's not safe, it could irritate your skin and cause you eczema or other similar skin issues.

All types of detergents can cause skin problems like eczema and others, it's better to avoid bathing with them, but to answer your question Op, if you're talking about when you run out of soap like once a year, that's not gonna be a problem.
