Tumblr is such a nice place.

You know, when it is.

I use soap nuts for washing and vinegar as the softener. It comes out perfectly clean but has a neutral smell (which might smell weird when you first start doing this). I sometimes add a tiny bit of store bought softener to the vinegar for stuff like more expensive hoodies and tshirts.

Asking because I honestly don't know, for the laundry detergent recipe, does it matter that I was always told to get HE detergent? I was under the impression that the soap for "high efficiency" washers was different somehow than normal soap. I am ready to admit I was conned by the detergent industry and this is just marketing speak, but I also don't want to fuck up my washer, it cost a lot of money I don't have to replace it.

Everything related to cleaning and hygiene industry is a scam

[–] Donkter@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Hygiene, beauty, and medicine. All products with literally pennies worth of ingredients charging hundreds to thousands of times what they cost to make.

Medicine has the excuse of going to research at least. But we all know that system is broken.
