I use shampoo to wash my clothes – it’s cheaper than pods & they smell lovely, but my clothes froth up a bit in rain
A MAN has confessed to washing his clothes with shampoo when money is tight and he can’t afford detergent.
But if you try this hack you will need to put up with one side effect.
The creator, who goes by Fat Dann online shared the shampoo brand he prefers to use.
He said: “If you’ve never used shampoo to wash your clothes, you ain’t even council.”
“Welcome to Fat Dan’s Council tips. Now look, run out of washing powder and stuff like that.”
Dan says he replaces laundry detergent with shampoo and replaces fabric softener with conditioner.
He said: “Albert is the best. I use just the conditioner. It goes in there.”
“That’s where your fabric softener goes and then for your main wash some of that in there.”
“I put it in for an hour to wash. Let’s turn the spin out. Let’s get that 1600, 30 degrees, bosh.”
However Dann said there is one side effect to washing your clothes with shampoo and conditioner.
He said: “Now, some people might say this ain’t gonna work. Your clothes smell lovely, but when it’s raining and you’re out and about, they do tend to froth out a little bit. So watch out for that.
A bottle of the Alberto shampoo and conditioner will only set you back a few quid which is cheaper that most laundry detergents.

However it’s not likely to last you as long as regular laundry detergents.
Dan said: “But look, we’ve been doing this for years. I don’t know what we can use proper soap”.
“Cost of living has gone through the f**king roof in it.”
“Get your Alberto Balsam a pound each. I think this, I feel safely say this does about 25 washes, that 10.”
“So two of these to one of these.”
Dann’s post racked up over 75,000 views and others shared there own household swaps.
One user confessed: “Not clothes but I’ve used it to wash up with.”
Another said: “Yep, also used washing up liquid to wash my hair.”
“My friend puts zoflora in the washing machine and says her clothes smell amazing,” claimed a third.
