Is it a spa day disaster? I put my whites and a pillow into an option 1 Spa Day solution but they came out brown-ish. I suspect the pillow is the culprit, hasn't been cleaned in 20 years.
Will it come off in the Rehab wash or am I doomed?
My boyfriend didn’t know to wash polyester fleece items that are new- separately and now all my laundry looks like this. I’ve tried rewashing twice and now I’m lint rolling but it’s barely doing anything.
My next method will be trying a disposable razor, but if anyone has a non back breaking method let me know.
As for washing and drying we only fill the washer up half way because it’s an eco water level sensing one and it kinda sucks at getting the clothes really clean. For the dryer the lint trap gets changed every use and a new vent tube was just installed last year.
I never knew how much detergent I really needed, I eyeballed it and had to do a spa day about every 6 months. Yes I'm one of the very few people who under-dosed on detergent 🙈 now I'm in the process of watching every load and upping detergent until I see the first suds, and it has already made a huge difference. Also an extra rinse cycle is becoming standard. At least my detergents and my strong dislike of fabric softener and all that stuff were the right choice. Thank you, all of you!
I don't have a car, so I do all of my big/heavy shopping (including laundry detergent) twice a year with a visit to Costco and I just want them to carry the good stuff, dammit!
Trying my luck with customer feedback 😈
I've also asked Loblaws if their big buckets of powdered detergent have lipase and I'm waiting to hear back.
I see a lot of posts about Ariel detergent. Its what many of my Hispanic students families use as well (I teach high school in the US and crazy enough it has come up)
I see it in bags in the store. I can smell it on the laundry aisle before I ever see it.
Mondays I can smell it in the halls because many of my kiddos families do laundry on the weekends.
So I gotta know, whats the deal with this detergent? Is it really great? Is it okay for sensitive skin? Is it kinda the holy grail of detergent?
I got a grease stain on these pants on Tuesday night. I put some Oxiclean Max Force stain remover on them and left them to sit til laundry day. On the back of this product, it says that it’s safe to sit on laundry for up to seven days before washing.
Fresh forward to today, Friday, aka laundry dry. What the hell happened.
I'm a doctor. Japanese detergents are a big thing where I live. Absolutely everything is scented. Recently Kao attack has come out with a new "anti-mite formula" that they have plastered promos for all over the city from subway stations to youtube ads, saying their detergent is perfect for those with skin or nasal allergies to dust mites. Their active ingredient is "MDJ". I got curious as to what this was. Looked it up. It's a synthetic jasmine scent. It does barely anything to deter mites, while also being so strong it's an irritant.
I get so many eczema patients or allergic rhinitis patients in my clinic who have flare up after flare up and it turns out to be because even products marketed towards helping them control their allergic triggers actually have so much scent added to the detergent it makes their chronic conditions flare up worse. Unscented detergents here that actually do something aside from being water softeners are all American imports. I wish the focus on household products here wasn't so skewed towards fragrance. I end up having to have discussions with my eczema and rhinitis patients about possibly spending twice what they usually spend on local detergents to get an imported one.
We were sorting out our "whites load" and noticed the extreme difference in colors. Socks on left are an example of my Wife's socks from the load. On the right are examples of my socks from the same load. Nothing but whites were in load. Two questions: 1. What might have caused this disparity? 2. What can I do to my 8 pairs of socks to make them look better?
Staying in an airbnb. Based in the UK and most of our laundry detergent is in gel pod form or liquid detergent/ loose powder here. Never seen a packed powder tablet before. This place also has a dishwasher so idk if it’s for that. They have provided a box of dishwasher tablets that are labelled and look different to this, but this was left loose and unlabelled so unsure if a spare from a different brand or is in fact to be used for the washing machine.
hello there,
I'm in a bad living situation and can't afford a laundromat.
I've never hand washed laundry, but am considering it as, we often go a month without being able to do laundry.
I'm at the point of nothing to wear again and am losing sanity.
Is hand washing large amounts of clothes realistic? Do I need a washboard? what kind of bucket do you recommend?
I've always used a washing machine so I'm unsure where to start, any advice appreciated, thank you ❤️
I just washed a shirt with liquid detergent, laundry sanitizer and fabric softener but these stains keep popping up even when changing Brands? Any ideas what or how this is happening?
Is this Ariel powder detergent good or too harsh?
I've been wanting to get better at doing laundry and was wondering if this is a decent detergent and whether it's good for regular use? If yes, how much should I use it per wash for medium load?
I had a dirt-looking stain on my light beige carpet for years. I tried carpet cleaner solutions, resolve and similar carpet spot removers, baking soda and peroxide, dish soap, etc without any luck.
I tried a strong solution of Ariel Oxy powder and Biz dissolved into really hot water, scrubbing it into the stain and adding more hot water on the blue area of the applied solution as it cooled off. I rinsed it off and vacuumed up the water with my carpet cleaning machine.
This removed the stain when nothing else would.
Hopefully, this can help someone else who is trying resolve spray without any success on the carpet. And test a small, hidden area first for colorfastness...
I had been making a “laundry booster” with equal parts Oxi clean, Biz, Borax and Washing soda for about a year. I recently discovered this sub and it seems like this might be the wrong way to go. There’s so much amazing information here and I’ve searched the posts and I’m seeing that I might need to use different products on different loads but could somebody explain this to me like I’m five, pretty please.
