Is it bad to wash clothes in the washing machine without using detergent';?

Sorry if this seems like a stupid question but I am just wonderingIs it bad to wash clothes in the washing machine without using detergent';?
It is not bad, water will get them a lot cleaner than if you did not wash at all. Hot water will even kill the germs. Detergent cuts grease though, which is handy.Is it bad to wash clothes in the washing machine without using detergent';?
You can do it, but your clothes will not really be clean.
Not bad per se, but not terribly effective at removing any serious dirt.
It is not bad. All it does is give your laundry a good rinsing. Toss 1 cup of baking soda in with it next time to get it actually scrubbed and then toss 1 cup of white vinegar into the rinse to sanitize and deodorize.
no its just pointless
Its not bad, just not very effective depending on how dirty they are... its sort of like washing a car in the rain and letting it dry in the sun. The soap helps lift stains out of the fabric and keeps the inside of the washing machine from getting gunky.
It's not morally wrong, if that's what you mean, but it won't get the clothes clean, unless you have one of those amazing Japanese machines that use vibrations or silver or something to clean the clothes.





I guess you could say that it is bad to wash clothes without detergent in a conventional machine, because you are wasting water. If you're going to consume all that water, you should use detergent so it will do some good.
its not bad...but its pointless so why do it????
no, i've done it on a hot water cycle
No, but they get cleaner with detergent.
What's the point, why would you wash clothes without detergent, water isn't gonna make your clothes clean!!
Gets the clothes cleaner than when they went in and does not do them any harm. Detergent remaining in them from a previous wash also helps.





If you don't use a detergent ever, dirt, stains and grease will build up. But if it's oops, gotta do some washing, the shops and stores are closed and you've run out of detergent, it's a lot better than not washing at all.
