How can I get CVS-brand liquid "high efficiency" detergent out of a nylon duffel bag? (asking for a friend)

I'd try running it through the washing machine after getting as much as possible out by soaking and rinsing.

Yeah a couple times through a washing machine (don't add any more detergent obviously) will probably do the trick.

Wash it. People do this on purpose all the time.

Wash it with a few dirty items, might as well make use of the detergent and not waste all that electricity for just one thing.....

soak it 1st to loosen the deterg. Full-strength deterg may strip out the color.
