Use about 2 tablespoons of liquid dishwashing detergent.
Don't use too much or the suds will overflow and you'll have a mess.
It's not as good as laundry detergent but it will do in a pinch.

Don't mix colored wash with white wash,or you might have the whites with colored stains. Why don't you call whoever told you to wash the clothes, and ask where the detergent is.... If something has a stain you should try to remove it by using a bar of soap and water then put that article of clothing in the machine. Do Not Put the Bar of Soap in there. Good Luck

Buy some. Washing it without detergent will wear out the clothes and not clean stains or germs. Its like soaking your white shirt in regular water while trying to get our a lipstick stain. I recommend Spray -N- Wash Dual Power.

Washing without is better than not washing at all, but the soap breaks down the dirt. Buy some detergent.

It won't be perfect but better than nothing. you will be surprised at how much detergent is left over in the laundry. Sometimes it is good just to get that residue out. Depends on how dirty your laundry is also

If you can't find the detergent and can't go to the store to buy it you can wash clothes with 1C baking soda in the wash water.. It's better than not doing it at all.. If you can find some stain remover look at the garments and check for stains.. Apply stain remover it's better than nothing... Good luck

You can, and it will get them somewhat cleaner. But soiled clothes typically have grease and oils from skin and from the environment, and these won't be dislodged without the use of soap or a detergent. Detergents are preferred over soap because they work better in hard water.

You can but it won't come out very clean.
Try looking for liquid laundry detergent.They may have that instead of the powder type.
Follow the directions on the jug/bottle.
