How do you say toilet paper? How do you say Dish Washer detergent? How do you say sheets for the bed? How do you say sheets for the couch?

I always heard "papel higiénico" in school, but around here they just say "papel de baño".

Papel de baño is what I've always heard, too. Maybe its a Central America thing. - alba3, Jul 28, 2010

There is a previous thread for dishwasher detergent as long as we are giving out the answers. There is a search box on the answer tab. You can enter automatic dishwasher soaplink text

If you look under "toilet", an example is:

toilet paper -> papel (m) higiénico or confort (español de Chile)

As far as I know there is not a one word answer for "dishwasher detergent", so look up 'detergent', add the word 'de' after it followed by for the word for 'dishwasher'.

As for sheets, look here.

Next time, for questions like these, use the dictionary, which you can find at the top of the page in between "translation" and "more".

Use our dictionary for those words. You have to think about them at little. Try toilet. for toilet paperlink text I will start you out with that one. Try to find some of the other ones and ask if you need more help..
