Is this oil safe to use in homemade liquid laundry detergent, and won't make a spot on the clothes?

I did not use it for that, and I suspect it depends how much you want to use. I think the instructions do not advise using it for this. Would suggest you try some on a small piece of cloth.

I don't know about that. I used it in a dryer (on a cloth), but the fragrance almost evaporated

No oil is in the cloth. After wetting cloth thoroughly with water, wring it out tightly so no water droplets will remain. I use this cloth for all my windows, too...inside and out! If it gets soiled, I wash with mild dish detergent or throw it in the washing machine then hang to dry. Never use fabric softener. When washing or drying the cloth.

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

The directions for laundry use of this product say to soak the spot thoroughly *before* washing. It doesn't say anything about actually using it *in* the washer.

I'm using this for wool/cashmere sweaters with no problem,however,after I did,I put the sweaters under the shade to dry out.Because I don't like the smell of the product. Don't try to rub the spot off.It makes more worth with oil that's contained in this product.I use Woolite just for very light dirty clothes.

I would assume so. I haven't used esential oils in this way. I make my own "poo-pouri". I do know that it would have to be used sparingly, because full-strength would stain your hands and clothing. I put a few drops on a washcloth and it stained it yellowish-brown. Good luck!

My call on this is yes, it would be good for baby clothes. The detergent has no parabens, glycol solvents, chlorine, formaldehyde, or artificial colors. It does have plant-derived ingredients, natural essential oils, stain-fighting enzymes (taken from back label). If you want more information about their ingredients, they say to visit mrsmeyers.com/ingredients-glossary. The ingredient list is quite impressive. I like that these herbs and essential oils are next to my skin instead of chemicals. Also, I'm sensitive to most soaps (dry skin, itching, rash), but this one has never caused me any problems and I've washed all manner of materials in it. Hope this helps.

I've never used it on clothes but I would spray one piece and go from there. Don't want to ruin your clothes if you can save them.

There may be a chemical reason why this stuff and laundry detergent don't mix. I can see your problem. You'd have to wipe out the washer with something before laundering. The plan is that when the laundry comes out of the machine having been rinsed with Defense, it is free of the microbes you are avoiding.

I would worry about the oils ruining certain clothes...it would be safe in jeans or other rough material

Hi. Good luck with your gardening. Make a slurry paste of granulated clothes washing detergent and place it in the spilled oil. Let it dry, moisten and rub it over the spot and then let it dry again. Sweep up when dry, and rinse off any excess soap powder. May take a couple times but it will work. Best regards. Bill

I have used it on all my dry-cleanable clothes and on some that I just don't want to wreck by washing them. I think you will be happy using it. I have yet to have a problem!

I use the product solely on my clothes/underwear. I use regular detergent for everything else. Live the smell and I keep it just for me!

It didn't cause any stains on my clothes but because of it's oily base it may cause oil stains if it came in direct contact with clothing.

Yes. This is my daily laundry detergent that I use on everything! I use the subscribe & save to save money & get a box of this every month. It's great!

You're supposed to apply it on softer skin, inside of arms, behind knees, etc. It didn't ruin any of my clothing, I made sure it was absorbed before putting clothes on over it. I still would suggest trying progesterone cream instead of this oil.

No. I read the label and it is hazardous on skin and says to avoid getting it on clothes. You are supposed to spray it on a surface and let it dry before coming in contact with it. If you pour it in the laudry it won't work. If you need to treat your clothes for a specific reason, maybe spray them first and let the benzarid dry to kill off the stuff before throwing them in the wash? Hopefully it won't impact the colors or damage the fabric.
