I mixed laundry detergent with fabric softener !?

It will not hurt your jeans, but the reason you are not supposed to add fabric softener in the wash cycle with detergent is because the softener mixed with detergent causes the soap to not work properly. They are not to be mixed together if you are trying to get your clothes clean. So although nothing bad will happen to your clothes when you do this they are not getting cleaned properly. So you may want to rewash and only add the detergent. Add the fabric softener in the fabric softener compartment on your washer so it's added on the final rinse when it's supposed to. :o)

RE:

I poured a little fabric softener with laundry detergent because I (at first) didn't know it was softener. Will this screw up the only two pairs of jeans I'm washing?

Help!

The fabric softener will get rinsed out with the detergent, there should be no harm done. If you care to add fabric softener to the rinse water there is usually a place to add it, and it will release it at rinse time, and your jeans may become softer, if you wish.

Or, you can use Tide w/Downy and forgo the mixing - the manufacture knows the formulation - and you would waste your resources trying to figure it out. As for the dispenser - fabric softener can build up residue. The dispenser would have to be removed and scraped. I have found no other way to get rid of it. Buy a Downy Ball to dispense the softener.

If it was only a little bit, it will probably not screw up your jeans. You might try to run one or two extra rinse cycles just in case, to make sure they get rinsed out really good. You should be fine though. Good luck!

nope you should be fine. there's usually a slot in your machine for the softener to go into but it's no biggie if you poured it directly in.

It shouldn't as long as they were well mixed in water before you put the jeans in.

nah you'll be fine, I used to do it all the time. My washer now has you put them in there own little slots and releases it on its own. Bless technology!

i don't think so the worst thing that could happen is your clothes will be clean and soft lol
