    Question Laundry Question

    What's the difference between Laundry Detergent and Laundry Soap...and if the container doesn't say what it is, how do you know?

    Good question! Pretty much, for me, if it makes suds, I'm tossing it in the washer!

    Soap (the regular kind, not sure about laundry) to truly be soap, has to have lye in it. Which is why glycerin soap isn't really technically soap.

    Detergents don't have lye in them.
