I heard that you can use shampoo as laundry detergent. How? I have a bunch of tiny hotel shampoo bottles I'd love to use up.

Who doesn't love taking home those little bottles? I use them to hand-wash delicates (shampoo won't work well on heavily soiled clothes). If you're washing lingerie or sweaters in a large kitchen sink, pour in a whole bottle; use only half if you're cleaning a couple of items in a smaller bathroom sink. Adjust the amount of shampoo by how sudsy the water gets — every brand is different. Another fun use: Pour the shampoo into a pump dispenser and use it as hand soap. It smells lovely.
