Can you use this product (powder or liquid) in a washing machine? I can't see the rust but clothes are coming out with rust streaks.

It's a powder and yes you can use it in your laundry. It gives you directions on how to do so.

Yes, I would soak for 10 mins in a bucket outside first, then put in washing machine.

I thought to try that, but my washer will not 'fill' unless there are clothes PRESENT in the drum...so there is no way to pre-dissolve or I would do that! You would not have believed what a mess my last load of darks was. I am wondering if I need to do 'extra rinse'...seems like a waste of water there.

I have only owned this for a couple of months, but I see no signs of rust. My laundry area is a relatively sunless and easily dampish kind of environment so I think if rust was going to occur, it would. I also see no signs of the finish cracking or wearing and I expect it to continue to hold up well with a lot of use.

Depends on the type of washer as to how much. If using powder detergent powder would be better.

I just put powder in the top of the washing machine and let it liquefy it.Walmart has the same thing "Sun Cleaner" powder for $6. I have diluted it for cleaning in a spray bottle only and it seems to last.

no, it goes right in any washing machine with the dirty clothes, then start the water as they dissolve and smell amazing. I love the pink colored one, not sure of the scent name. Dont put it in the soap dispenser

Yes, I use it all the time in my color wash. Do not pour the powder directly onto you clothing. Add the powder to the washer as the water is being filled in the tub, swish with you hand and then add your color clothing, towels, or other linens.

Why would you wanna do that? It's ez to clean after a short hot water soak in the sink or folded into a mixing bowl. (see candied bacon review) If you put it in your washing machine you'll need to add a load of clothing "articles" (at risk staining your fabrics with oily residues). Otherwise, it would stick to side of washer and impede the spin-out of water/detergent. Depending on your additives you might leave a film of softeners or other "gunk" that commercial laundry additives leave in clothing. I don't want to be in your kitchen when you bake those onto your food. :)

I used it in the washing machine. I put it directly on the item before washing and poured a little in the water for good measure, I'm not sure I needed to do that though since I had put in on the item directly but I wanted to make sure it worked.

I have an HE machine and it didn't get my clothes clean, and left reside on my HE machine. The liquid works better, but contains harsh chemicals.

I use spray cleaner and paper towel. I wouldn't put this in the washing machine as I think the material may come apart.

I have not used it directly on clothing items, but have used it in home made laundry soap and had no issues.

Yes, you put it in the last rinse cycle -- however you do have to have first followed the instructions on the package and mixed/diluted it with "boiling" water, a somewhat involved process. You can't just pour the powder into the washing machine. Frankly, I didn't like the results, though you may be better at laundry than me. I found the starch flaking off on my iron as I pressed -- and I got nowhere close to the results I was hoping for. Even though the cleaners will not put enough starch in my shirts anymore (they used to be able to stand up against a wall, the ones with heavy cotton content), what they do do is better than what I could do on my own with this stuff. It does, however, look like the real McCoy, and I suspect I just have the wrong technique.

I use it to wash the dishes. I put the dish detergent in the place where it goes. Then I sprinkle a little on top of that. Maybe a 1/2 tsp or so. That is a guess. I also use it with the clothes in the laundry. Put in clothes, detergent and sprinkle about a whole tsp in the washer. Go ahead and use fabric softener as you would there too. Trust me, this stuff is amazing. Great for the dishes and after a couple of loads of whites, they SPARKLE!! Hope this helps!

I use a homemade powder detergent in my HE washer on the regular cycle (hot wash/cold rinse) with an extra rinse. No fabric softener and if you choose to dry in the dryer, no dryer sheet should be used as they will decrease absorbancy. Personally I line dry.

It will take the red oxide Rust and turn it into black oxide and help prevent further rust from appearing.. This is an acidic product and could have some residual contact with clothing. I would contact manufacturer for guidance.
