Dry thoroughly on the warmest setting or hang them out on a sunny day. On the second go-round, replace the soap with a half-cup of baking soda and wash in hot water again.
The first time, use hot water and one cup of white vinegar in place of detergent.
All you need is white vinegar and baking soda, but don’t use them together unless you want a volcanic science project in your laundry room. If you have relatively new towels or sheets that could use refreshing, you can try this method first. Laundry stripping is a simple technique using easy-to-find products that you might already have on hand.Īlthough this laundry hack has gone viral on TikTok, people have used a similar method to clean cloth diapers for years. You can strip away this gunk and grime with one of two laundry “stripping” methods. In the same way that soap scum, fabric softener or other residues can accumulate in your washing machine, your towels and clothing can be subject to buildup over time. But the unpleasant truth is that your just-washed laundry might not be as clean as you think. The good news is that your washer is likely OK.
It’s so gross and so gratifying to see the water.If your workout clothes seem smelly or your bath towels have gotten flatter, scratchier and less absorbent, you might wonder if your washing machine is working as well as it should. Nothing turned the water disgusting like the workout clothes, though. I was so happy with the workout clothes I did our bedding next and then our kitchen towels, etc. They’re so heavy even after you try to wring them out that I had to have my husband drag it to the washing machine for me. Lugging the clothes from the bath to the washing machine is pretty impossible though. I did all of our dark workout clothes first and DAYUM.Įverything was so much fresher, the residual “workout” smells that would never seem to disappear finally went away. (If you can’t find the Arm & Hammer Washing Soda this is the article for Baking the Baking Soda instead) I couldn’t find any washing soda but if you bake baking soda it does the trick, so I baked my baking soda, grabbed my Powdered Tide and Borax, and went to town. She has a whole highlight for this on her instagram under STRIPPING (scroll back a bit in the highlights) I figured I should bite the bullet and try laundry stripping. It is SO FAST, the hot water + tide mix does such an amazing job (I also do it with a splash of Branch Basics to keep it nontoxic, but when I’ve been lacking in mopping and feel like I need a real deep scrub I do the Tide).Īfter falling in love so much with the mop that GoCleanCo recommended I hate having to vacuum before mopping, but otherwise I would mop every single day. That and the fact that twin toddlers will make your house so disgusting that you have no choice but to clean. I *hate* despise*loathe*will do anything to avoid* cleaning.īut I will say that probably thanks to that account alone I have stepped up my at-home-cleaning game big time. I’m sure a ton of you discovered the instagram account GoCleanCo during quarantine this past year.
