I have seen notes that say not to use this formulation for cloth diapers since the soap (rather than detergent) can negatively impact the absorbency of the diapers.
Soap and detergent function very differently. It is definitely not wise to substitute one for the other without knowing what those differences are. For example, you can wash eye glasses with liquid hand "soap" because it is actually a detergent. Try that with a bar of soap and you'll likely get a film of soap you'll never get off.
