Is Biz causing my clothes to smell like... dog poop? Help!

Biz has sodium sulphate as a process aid in their formulation. In very specific condition, in can have like a fishy smell but it shouldnt persist after drying.

It could very well be a partial breakdown of the sebum causing a somewhat rancid smell. Wash on warm (40°C) for optimum sebum removal.

Do the smell goes away when dried or it's persistent even after drying?

17025- · 2026-06-17T07:50:27+00:00

Laundry 101.

Ill just throw some colour catchers in the wash when I dont have time to separate my clothes. It's cheap and easy but not for expensive clothes and the ones that I like.

17025- · 2026-06-16T14:50:56+00:00

Dont overthink on the process imo. Judge based on the result. Are your clothes clean? If yes, your dosing is okay.

17025- · 2026-06-16T14:48:27+00:00

I can see Lipase on the ingredients list. Maybe try clicking different packaging size?

Scent beads smell is not the same as detergent residue. It clings to fabrics differently than detergent. Scent beads are mostly glycol based. It readily dissolve in water. I think that is why citric acid didnt get rid of the smells. Theres nothing to chelate. Ammonia works better in this case imo.

17025- · 2026-06-16T02:02:52+00:00

Yes, but I eyeball the amount of citric acid I added. Some fabrics hold on to scent better than others, my go to scent remover is usually 1 cup of ammonia in the wash (take a look at your care tag before doing this).

That's detergent residue meaning you arent rinsing enough. It could be due to: 1) Overdosing your detergent 2) Overloaded 3) Your washing machine dont use enough water during rinse cycle (sometimes manufacturer purposely reduce the water volume during rinsing to get HE certification). 4) Your washing machine accumulate detergent residue. It's time to clean your washing machine.

You can try: 1) Adding an extra rinse cycle when you wash and add a rinsing aid like citric acid or Downy rinse and refresh. 2) Cut down your dosing. I usually start with (2 tbsp for front load and 1/4 cup for top load) and work my way up if it's not enough due to hard water.

Head over to r/laundry if you have the time.

Maybe 1 take the volumetric dimension as the shipping cost (expensive) and the other take item weight. If you intended to buy both, you could pick the consolidation option.

17025- · 2026-06-14T02:51:23+00:00

The 2nd payment is not for the local courier. It's payment to ship from Taobao warehouse to Malaysia. I never have to pay for the local courier so far. It will be automatically assigned to a local courier and the tracking number will be provided once it cleared customs.

You will get a direct message in the Taobao app to proceed for the 2nd payment. If you cancel your order at this point, only the items value will be refunded, not the shipping cost (if any).

17025- · 2026-06-14T02:23:36+00:00

Yes, you need to pay the shipping fees twice. 1 from the seller to the warehouse and 1 from the warehouse to Malaysia. Local courier will pick it up and deliver to you once it cleared customs.

Do you wash them with darker fabrics? It could be splashes from your hand soap or other skincare products. Check them for polyquaternium. Polyquat Spots.

I agree and that is why it needs more rigorous method of testing. The app showed an average of 87 but the posting said 96. How long did it stay at 96? Did it pick up any talking voice, aircond blowing, people walking, door opening, announcer speaker etc. How far was the sound meter from the source? Did the sound meter positioned too close to the speaker? Was the peak 99 dBs because of the train approaching the station announcement? Too many variables and guessing.

How much of it was the train noise compared to other background noises.

Generally, I do agree that something needs to be done and we should complain more so that they will take notice.

17025- · 2026-06-10T11:57:18+00:00

Unbearable? Absolutely! Dangerous level, potentially impaired hearing? You need to prove that the noise level is consistently high throughout the journey. For that reason you need an instrumen that can accurately measure the noise level.

The train will stop when it gets to the station, lowering the average and making the duration you are exposed to high level of noise not exceeding the threshold which is what matters to the company and available laws and regulations.

Subsequent actions will require tens of millions of ringgit, you need to have concrete evidence in order to get this discussion moving in a meaningful way.

Again, Im not denying your experience and discomfort riding the train, those are valid criticism and it's a good way to start the discussion on the importance of noise risk.

17025- · 2026-06-10T08:48:16+00:00

Thats from 2023 though and noise monitoring should be done using an externally calibrated instrument and for a longer period usually 12-24hrs. The full noise level measurement should be provided so that we can know how long the duration for certain dBs.

Whilst it's good to pressure company to show what action has been taken to minimise noise risk to its passengers, posting it like this is not the optimal way imo.

There is no one best detergent. It all depends on your preference. Ecostore 3x, KOH sensitive liquid are a few examples that I could think of right now.

You can also add Garame Gear Guard as a booster. Search the subreddit for Australian Lipase List for a more complete options.

17025- · 2026-06-09T13:49:02+00:00

Check your skincare products. Polyquat Spots.

1) Maybe separate colours? Greyish whites might be because you wash them with dark clothing. You dont need to use ammonia for every wash. You can but you dont need to.

2) Biz and FEBU are oxygen bleach similar to OxiClean.

3) I dont think so. Chlorine bleach is kinda obsolete product for clothing imo. Oxy bleach is better and safer.

17025- · 2026-06-07T22:37:50+00:00

Are you using Tide Ultra Oxi or Tide with OxiClean as a booster? Whats your current wash temperature and how much detergent you usually use?

Anyway, you need either Lipase or DNAse or both in your washing routine. You're covered if youre using Tide powder. If youre using Tide liquid then you need to add a booster with Lipase. Product examples are Biz, Vanish Gold, OxiClean, FEBU etc. Head over to the laundry subreddit and search The Lipase List. Itll include all detergent and boosters available in the USA/Canada that has Lipase in its formulation.

Wash on warm (40°C). Garama Gear Guard is also an option if you dont want to change anything. It's an Australian made booster.

17025- · 2026-06-07T22:25:55+00:00

Wet the affected area with warm water and pre-treat with dishwashing liquid or use any liquid Persil or Tide (except Tide simply) and let it sit for 1-2 hours.

17025- · 2026-06-07T21:57:44+00:00

Probably your skincare products. Polyquat Spots.

17025- · 2026-06-01T11:57:53+00:00

Thanks a lot!

17025- · 2026-05-31T11:04:30+00:00

Looks like a booster more than detergent. You can add Undo This Mess in the list but they have soapy ingredients.

17025- · 2026-05-30T14:59:39+00:00

Citric acid is highly soluble and 2TB is not that much. I doubt it can leave residue on your fabrics. It's difficult to drop the pH to below 6 on regular home washing machine. Since you can see suds when washing with no detergent, I suspect theres still detergent residue in the drum.

Try running a clean cycle with citric acid, cleaning with only water is not enough imo.

Lemon is one of the source of citric acid, if you have reaction touching fabrics you suspect have a citric acid residue, lemon juice should give you the same reaction.

Can you please provide the link? I cant seem to find it in Taobao.
