You can wash laundry with yucca. There are a lot of different types of yucca. I have soapweed yuccas, (yucca glauca). As I understand all yuccas have natural saponins (soap qualities), but you may want to check which yucca you have, and what parts of the plant to use. I use the roots, but I've heard of being able to use the leaves and stem too. The root is stringy and fibrous. If you just throw the root in your washing machine, your going to have a mess. I kind of beat the root up a bit, to break it open, then I put it in a cheese cloth type bag. I use a WonderWash, a hand cranked barrel washer. I throw the bag in and agitate with my clothes. I use yucca to wash my body and hair too, I stick some of the broken up root right in a used water bottle, leaving some head space to shake it up. You're not going to see the lather and suds that most people are use to with commercial laundry soap. I think the trick there is adding glycerin. Good luck! i can see you right now

Yes, deer can eat yucca plants, although they may not be their preferred food source. Yucca plants contain saponins, which can deter some herbivores due to their bitter taste.
