On granny's ongoing frugality thread I learned that you can use a small amount of DAWN dishwashing detergent instead of laundry detergent -- and it works just fine. The original poster said to be very careful to not use very much, because one doesn't want oversudsing.

However, I don't use it when washing NICE newer clothing, then I go with the Tide/Downey combo; however, it's been months since I started using the DAWN, and I'm still working on the same bottle, and haven't purchased any laundry detergent since last summer.

Shampoo can also be diluted down to a third. They make it way thicker than it needs to be.

How much would be a small amount, say, for a full (but not super) laundry load?
