It can be added to the washing machine... it is mostly enzymes and natural ingredients, I never had it create a chemical reaction...

I haven't heard of this. I know that when It is used it is recommended that you wash your hands so you don't get it in your eyes or mouth. I would have to look into it more before doing this. Maybe contact the company.

It's safe and non-toxic and it cleans great. But I would check with your local health department first. The manufacturer could probably email you a MSDS (material safety data sheet) to submit to your agency.

The label says, "To Reduce Malodors in Washing Machine: After filling the washer with water, add 8oz. (1 cup) full strength of this product to each washload." So it is suitable for laundry, but I think that amount is probable excessive.

You should re dry all clothes for at least an hour in the dryer. Not sure if it is toxic but it did not have a strong smell and worked extremely well.

I have used it in the laundry, but not without adding soap. I don't know if you could leave the soap out or not. When I had some clothes the cat peed on, I added a splash of this to the load and washed as I normally would. The smell was completely gone. This is awesome stuff.

I would not spray this directly on to clothes. They do make a bed bug product similar to laundry detergent you add to the wash. There is a strong cinnamon smell to the spray which doesn't bother me but I would suggest spraying your bed a few hours before going to sleep if it bothers you. It is also recommended to used demassicated (sp) earth to help rid of them. That isn't toxic (I've read of people who drink it) but it is messy to put down so wear a mask.

I am biased after my experiences cleaning my bike. I would not ever use it again, but if you decide to, be extremely careful with dilutions. Personally I would not have this stuff anywhere near anything I would eat. I am pretty sure this stuff is very toxic to humans, or to anything living!

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 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 would use warm wash just to make sure it dissolves completely. The instructions didn't give anything about an HE machine. Would assume it is ok.

I would not call it toxic. Its more of a strong plastic/chlorine smell. Not offensive, just different.

Yes you can but it adds a harsh chemical to a less harsh detergent, I believe.

If you are referring to putting into a washer, then no. If you are referring to spraying on windex and scrubbing it, then yes.

We've not had that issue, no. When we first set it up, we could smell the fresh stain/finish, but nothing I'd describe as "toxic." It was gone within a week. We're really pleased with the quality of the bed -- a great value.

I got it for that reason, but its toxic. It STINKS! Soap couldn't get the smell off me and it had warnings that the materials cause cancer! Every time I breathed the stink or touched my face I was worried. It had a warning to wash your hands EVERY time you touched it. I threw it away after 1 week. The stink stayed on the steering wheel even though I scrubbed it. I could still smell it in my car and on my hands for weeks after throwing it away. Don't buy it! It's not worth it!!!!

Good question. We have done it both ways--washed and not, and don't seem to suffer any adverse effects. It is a little sticky-feeling, but it smells great. :)
