I accidentally used liquid detergent for both the prewash and main wash. Are my clothes still clean?
I did research on this and found out that all the detergent from the main wash just seeps into the prewash if you use liquid detergent. Does that mean that after the prewash water drained, my clothes did not get a proper wash during the regular cycle? I really hope not because I did about 10 loads like this!

They are clean. It is like washing them twice, and that is good.

Your clothes are really clean, however you have a new problem your clothes have a residue left on them resulting from too much chemicals from the detergent and prewash, prewash is actually a detergent so you have double the amount of detergent left in your clothes, it would be like not rinsing the clothes completely, to remedy this I suggest you rinse your clothes again in order to get out extra suds, do not add anymore detergent, also add one cup of White Vinegar to this wash to help remove the extra detergent and prewash out of your clothes, do not add any detergent or fabric softner as vinegar cleans and softens Good Luck !
