First, ask yourself this question: If you ran out of shampoo, would you use laundry detergent on your hair? Didn't think so. Different cleansers, from soap and shampoo to laundry detergent and dish soap all basically do the same thing--dissolve dirt. However, each is formulated differently to act properly on the medium to which it is applied. Laundry detergent would be way too harsh to use on your body or hair. Shampoo may well work to wash clothing by hand in a sink, but I wouldn't put it in a washing machine. Again, that's made to act a certain way with what's put in it--that's why you have to measure laundry detergent. If you put shampoo in your washing machine, how much would you put in? Too much and you'll be wading in suds in no time.

Neither dish soap nor shampoo should be used for laundry soap: they make too much suds, and you may get a mess. Put off doing the laundry until you can get to the store.

If you use it for hand washing it is OK to use it, I don't see a problem. On the other hand if you want to put the stuff in to a machine don't do it. Some shampoos have conditioners and stuff that is good for hair but I don't know how good it is for laundry especially white (when you do a laundry no high temperature) or for sensitive color cloths. If you must do just necessary things, till you buy a detergent.

No.... too many suds, But you can use 1/2 c baking soda in place of the soap then if you have it 1/2 c vinegar in the rinse it acts as a fabric softener and rinses excess soap residue off clothing. Vinegar is rinsed out in the wash so there will not be a vinegar smell left.... Hope this helped.

Liquid dish cleansing soap will artwork only tremendous; be constructive now to not use lots - possibly 1/2 the quantity that you would use of regularly occurring laundry detergent - because dishwashing beverages are designed to create extra suds.

That can be a bad combination. I don' t believe it would work. I know we're always looking for that quick fix, just go to the store and get some laundry detergent. I tried putting dishwashing liquid in my dishwasher and that was a disaster.

Well, I don't see a problem with it, just don't use too much. Shampoo builds up a lot of suds. You could have to mop your floors if it suds over. Besides, years ago they washed clothes in a river with lye soap.
