Biodegradable soap is much preferred in all cases [and can often be bought in bulk, thus helping reducing soap packaging!]) | |

If you do several loads, choose fresh water only for the rinse cycle. Fantastic system, which I have used with up to 8 people (including little ones). But you have to wash yourself really well for this to work. This also works in an apartment, btw. | |
