Hello! So... I have the worst washing machine ever, the Whirpool top loader with removable agitator and no detergent dispenser. There's a dispenser for bleach for cleaning it, though. I have to wash everything in deep water, otherwise things come out of the wash partly dry, in a sense they were never fully wet, lol. I believe it's the HE machine. I hate it, but I want to make it work. Our old front loader, which I liked died, and my lovely husband bought this atrocity unaware of how bad it is, so I really want to make it work.

Now, We don't really have issues with stinky clothes and such because we wash pretty much everything after one use, and we never use the fabric softeners. Since we got the machine a few months ago, we used either ECOS laundry sheets or ECOS free&clean fluid detergent. Clothes and sheets are fine, but I wanted to do better, so I got the 365 concentrated detergent with lipase.

Nothing dramatic happened, except all white stains from the deo came out on my black shirts 😃 It supposed to be not staining deo, and stains weren't there before I introduced lipase detergent.

I also just ordered a pack of the famous FEBU booster.

My plan is:
Normal wash in deep water and extra rinse with the 365 for everything, and 365 + a scoop of FEBU for sheets and towels. Then, 'quick wash' without any detergent, but 2 teaspoons of citric acid in lieu of a rinse. I know I can stop my machine, add citric acid, and start it again, but I'm not babysitting it.

Is this plan ok?

I've asked it on Jim Green's sub, but here there are more people I want to direct my question for, so I repeat my qestion 😄

Hey, so I hate my feet being tight in boots, but I want real boots, haha. There are no typical barefoot boots on the market, which would be actual boots, not just a fashion version of such. In past I was just wearing boots 2 - 3 sizes too big, lol, but that stopped in highschool, and also I want the flat zero drop sole without any arch support. My question is directed towards people who also hate having feet sqeezed, and who can splay toes in their shoes, not to people who are accustomed to squeezed feet.

I'm size 7ish in BFAR, but I want to get 8 to be able to splay my toes due to tapered end of the boot. My foot is 232mm/9.17inches long and 92mm/3.6inch wide. In 4 decades of my life, I've managed to not get bunions, and I want to keep it that way. Will BFAR 8 fit me? I ask because '3E fit' says nothing about actual width in any measurement unit. It would be really helpful if the actual internal width of the shoe was added to size table ❤️

I know about AnatomX, and I'd prefer it's shape, but I want that reinforced and shape holding tip of the BFAR. Also I really want to get the comp toe BFARs, but it's even more narrow than the BFAR (2E whatever it is in actual measurement units), and I'm worried my feet will get sqeezed. For now comp toe aren't available anyway for a long time - will they ever be? I will appreciate some guidance on it. TIA! ❤️
