I don’t think I’ve ever used fabric softener. -Gen Xer
i used it until i learned that it’s basically just perfume liquid that dissolves your clothes slightly
miss me with that shit
It’s also ridiculous how many products are just trucking water around from one place to another with a little big of active solution mixed in. We need more ‘just add water’ products available.
The homemade laundry detergent is so fucking good, though. No joke. My clothes have never felt cleaner. But can someone explain, if washing soda is just baked baking soda, why can’t you just use the baking soda directly? If it’s just to remove the moisture as they say in the pic, why bother doing it, since you’re dumping it into water?
Also, get yourself a downy ball if your washing doesn’t have the fabric softner section, and use vinegar. I love the way our laundry feels once we switched to vinegar.
Collect some horse chestnuts, smash 4 with a hammer and put them in an old sock. Throw the sock and nuts in the wash. It’s a free replacement for unscented detergent.
You can also make detergent from English Ivy and a bunch of other plants.
