@jeeves_ny: You all liked my laundry product ranking and asked how to actually use them, so here we go. Chlorine bleach: I’d move away from it, since the risk usually outweighs the reward. If you insist, dilute it, use the bleach compartment, and run a cleaning cycle after. Laundry sanitizers and oxygen bleach do the job better. Laundry sanitizer: Fabric softener slot with a 16 minute rinse. Or soak in 1 gallon of cold water with 2 capfuls for 15 minutes, then rewash. Enzymatic stain removers: A small amount directly on the stain, tamped in with up and down motions. Let it sit at least an hour, ideally overnight. I keep a bottle on my hamper and pretreat right away. Scent beads: Into the drum before clothes. White vinegar: Softener slot. It dissolves leftover detergent and minerals so clothes feel less crunchy. Acidic rinse products: Rinse slot. Citric acid outperforms vinegar’s acetic acid. Into the drum: Baking soda, Calgon, borax, washing soda, powdered oxygen bleach, and enzymatic boosters. Soaking: Use enzymatic boosters or oxygen bleach. Oxygen bleach needs 140°F (60°C) water. Soak a few hours or overnight, then wash. 3% hydrogen peroxide: Spray on stubborn stains and air dry indoors, out of the sun, since UV plus peroxide causes yellowing. Washable fabrics only, and test a hidden spot first. Detergent: Dosing depends on water hardness, load size, and soil level. Start at 1 tbsp. Small load, soft water? 1 tbsp. Dirty medium load, hard water? 3 to 4 tbsp. European detergents include a dosing chart. America needs to catch up. #LaundryTips #LaundryScience #StainRemoval

Would it be cheaper to just straight up buy citric acid and adding it to the wash?

I feel like most your videos are for folks who own laundry and dryer machines—any guides on how to most maximize going to laundromat and not have to schlep with 5 products? 🥹

Should I add oxi clean to loads that aren’t washed on hot or is that not doing anything?

as a rule, powder oxygen bleaches completely denature enzymes so always one or the other.

Please explain why oxygen bleach will refuse to dissolve, I’ve put boiling water to help dissolve and I was shocked it still didn’t work ! Bought a shaker bottle and all that worked was to let it sit over night and pour only the water and leave behind the sand like material left

Does borax go directly into the drum if you’re using it in addition to your detergent?

I got mascara (not waterproof) on a shirt and I washed and dried it. It didn't come out. Is it too late to get the mascara out? If not, what is the best way to get it out at this point?

Could you do advice for folks who have to use shared apartment washers (no soaking, no dispensers or fabric softener slots, limited settings). I love your videos, and my access is some fairly pared down utilitarian machines that one can only have a load run all the way through.
Thanks!!!

And if I don’t have a compartment for fabric softener what then? My machine only has the bleach one.

Wait I am confused about oxygen bleach. You said water needs to be hot and it goes right in the drum but also to soak over night ideally. Does it do anything if the water isn’t hot or there isn’t a soak time? If I’m just doing a cold wash should I not bother with it at all? How do you soak something over night in a front loader if the oxygen bleach placed in the drum? Would I actually need to soak it in a bucket first then pour the bucket into the wash after the soak?

trying to unbury myself from beneath a shitton of laundry due to a really bad depressive episode... it seems no matter what I do, some fabrics have a musty smell once they become damp again from sweat. 😭 it's messing with me bad, any advice?

does it matter if the powder detergent and scent beads dissolve a bit before adding the clothes?
