laundry

Well like I said with you being new and all.

She had real hot lips, but she did not want to leave Canada.

She wanted to open a bar there.

I was kind of floored she did not take the hint.

Meh, welcome to Hip forums anyway.

 

dunno my maid does all my laundry

 

i separate flimsy fabrics from stiff fabrics so the flimsy ones don't rip or get twisted out of shape. but i don't separate colors. i always wash everything in cold, so nothing runs. and it saves energy.

 

I dont do my laundry these days..but when I do on occasion, I make sure they are seperated, cause I like bleach in my whites

 

bleach makes whites turn yellow, and it degrades the fabric. plus it's a harsh chemical.

arm and hammer baking soda detergent + cold water works better than ANYTHING i've ever tried.

 

but it smells so clean..I wear white tshirts everyday as an undershirt..but I am always willing to try something new..Arm and Hammer baking soda detergent and cold water..I only typed it, cause I want to remember it..is it ever on sale? I have put the same stuff minus the detergent part in my fridge to keep things fresh.

 

i'm sure it is on sale sometimes. it's a powder detergent, so it comes in a couple clean scents, or unscented. it's in an orange box. it's like, 10 or 15 bucks (i think) for a big box that lasts us a good 6 months or so.

 

Thanks for the tip..I think I may even be low on detergent..I will make a thread and try it and give it a review..I hope when I am standing in front of the detergent stoned out of my mind..I will remember to buy it..

 

hahah! i like it cause it gets everything clean, even in colds, and it has a non-scented kind. cause i don't like scented shit.

it even gets the oily lotion out of my massage sheets. that's pretty impressive, in my book. and i rarely have to pretreat stains.

 

so you just use some baking soda instead of detergent?

 

I have to separate hubbys work greasy cook whites from everything else.In fact they have their own basket, and get a NEEDED bleach and a hot cycle(and still don't ever get spotless clean-seriously WTF!)

The rest of our laundry get a cold cycle in homemade laundry soap.
(with exception of a few hand wash delicates )

 

no, it's a powdered detergent made by arm and hammer, and it has a lot of baking soda in it, but it's not just straight baking soda.



they also have a liquid, but i think liquids don't get clothes as clean, nor are they as cheap.

 

marketing/packing is frickin' hilarious.

 

yeah, grease cook clothes just never get clean again. no matter what you use on them. that's what goodwill is for i guess.

 

why, what's so funny about it?

 

I'll vouch for A&H thats the detergent we used before we switched to homemade.

 

this arm and hammer is flying at me, sparkling
not connected to a body
just orange ether, reassuring me that all will be clean
it makes me giggle

 

thats why I use bleach..cause I wear white tshirts and socks everyday and I get dirty, dirty everyday doing something..I play and work real rough and dirty...haha..but, yeah, I get dirty and feel that only bleach can get the dirt, grease, mud, sweat, blood..you name it, out

 

bleach is the only way to get the smell of a seafood kitchen out of the whites. It DOES deteriorate the fabric... his work whites just disappear over time.
I haven't found anything to completely get out all kitchen grease (or god knows what else he manages to get on his whites)though.

 

only thing i know of to truly get blood out of whites is peroxide. dip the offending blood stained fabric into a bowl of hydrogen peroxide and watch it melt away in front of your eyes. it rawks.
