Accidently put bleach in my fabric softener spot! skyfly21.. Be sure to rinse the dispenser with lots of water before doing another load. skyfly21 Original Poster. Posted 08-15-18.. Accidentally put detergent in fabric softener dispenser? Don't panic. It won't ruin the washing machine or your clothes. Separate compartments are needed as the washer releases them at different times when they do the most good. Here's another question you might ask, when does fabric softener get dispensed?
Reasons Why You Should NOT Put Fabric Softener In The Bleach Dispenser.. As a result, if you accidentally put detergent in the softener dispenser, it will be too late to reach the tub. The clothing will not clean properly as a result. Rerun the load with soap and softener in their proper dispensers. And you're ready to go.. Separate Storage: The bleach dispenser is designed to hold bleach separately from the main wash water. This is crucial because bleach is a powerful cleaning agent, and you don't want it mixed directly with your clothes. Timed Release: During the wash cycle, your washing machine has specific times when it releases different products (like detergent, fabric softener, and bleach).
