Can you use body wash to clean clothes?

Yes, you can use body wash to clean clothes in a pinch, as it contains surfactants that can help remove dirt and odors. However, it may not be as effective as laundry detergent and can leave residues or fragrances that might not be suitable for all fabrics. It's best to use it only for small loads or emergency situations, and to test it on a small area first if you're concerned about fabric care.
