Is there any way to possibly be able to recycle the exhausted soap water from my washing machine?

In my endeavors to be more ';green'; I have just noticed an awful lot of water is used in my household of six people during constant washing. I have already attempted to steer clear from washing in all max or super loads which uses more water, but what about the water that just gets drained? Is there something I can do with that water that just gets poured into the washer sink?Is there any way to possibly be able to recycle the exhausted soap water from my washing machine?
you probably want to use biodegradable soap, but if you do, you should be able to use the water for plants.


you probably want to mix in the rinse water, to dilute the soap as much as possible.


and you might choose to use the least amount of soap that will still get the job done, although i've no idea how you'd test this. clearly the soap manufacturers aren't going to help, as they'd like you to use as much as possible.


i would, however, bet that there is some ';greenie'; website that has this information.Is there any way to possibly be able to recycle the exhausted soap water from my washing machine?
If it is ';soapy'; water i.e. Lux flakes etc. rather than ';detergent';, you can use that to water the garden or spray on plants if you can get diverter pipes for this purpose and keep the saved water in Water Butt.
My mom collect the soap water from wqshing machine into buckets and use the water to flush the toilet.





You can save a lot of money $$$ per month.






As long as you aren't using harsh cleaning solutions in your laundry, the water can be used to water your plants and lawn.
You can water the garden with it.
Mine goes into a settling tank. I can then pump it out for the lawn and most of the chemicals go to the bottom.
That would be ';gray'; water and you can collect it and water your garden, trees, shrubs grass etc.
Basically all water but the toilet water can be recycled
