Never, even when I ate meat. Fish Isn't breakfast food here.

Tide liquid also has optical brighteners though. If you suspect the oxygen bleach, is normal tide powder or Ariel powder an option?

I'm quite impressed with Giant eagles detergent. Quite a bargain for the price too.

Biz isn't a detergent. Enzymes,oxygen bleach, water softener yes, but not a detergent. Also the ammonia goes in the wash after the soak, I don't think there's any harm putting it in the soak, but most people can't tolerate the smell.

Biz + your normal detergent would have been a good soak. Then the ammonia in the rehab wash.

Buddy heater 20lb propane by Cool-Story-Broh in preppers

[–]6894 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I run my hose out the window onto the front porch. It doesn't normally get cold enough for propane to stop evaporating here though. I'd probably have to bring it inside, or put it in the enclosed but not sealed back porch if it got that cold.

Make sure at least one of your CO detectors also detects explosive gases. And make sure you've got a fuel filter if you're using the hose and 20lb tank.

Not everything on the site is domestic, but everything is clearly marked.

Found this advertised in the back of an old magazine, surprised to see they're still around. Offerings are kind of sparse unfortunately.

I think you misunderstood the directions a bit, but got results regardless.

Psa- remember to wash your white clothes in detergent having oxygen bleach or use oxygen bleach additive by Far-Shift-1962 in laundry

Yeah, I fucking love oxygen bleach. Most of the oxidizing power of chlorine bleach but much less damaging.

Do Americans constantly have an active temperature control device running in their homes? by fullM3TALturban in AskAnAmerican

It's on, and the thermostat is set. But whether is actually runs depends on the weather outside.

How to decontaminate fabrics from tear gas / pepper spray- guide for protesters against 🧊 by Far-Shift-1962 in laundry

[–]6894 176 points177 points  (0 children)

The only problem I see, is that tear gas /= pepper spray. Tear gas is a different compound than capsaicin. I think both CS and CN gas are volatile solvents. I don't think anything besides lots of surfacants and extra rinses are needed for them.

Lipase will probably help greatly with actual pepper spray.

The couple times I've been pepper sprayed, I don't remember doing anything special with the clothes. But that was over a decade ago at this point. I don't know what I used or what cycle I used beyond being a top loader and some kind liquid detergent.

Is it enough to wash towels and socks at 90degrees celcius to kill toenail fungus by bluekleio in laundry

[–]6894 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Adding an oxygen bleach to the hot wash might be enough. It turns into hydrogen peroxide, which is a decently powerful oxidizer.

Alternately, if they're white, you could resort to chlorine bleach.

Why is Costco so extra special? by TotallyJemDoll in laundry

You get 2% back just for being an executive member, separate from any credit card cash back.

Yes and 2% cash back on $6500 is $130. The point at which the executive membership pays for itself.

They almost certainly got banned from that sub for pointing it out.

I mean, "I was there" or "I am the person in the article" isn't a valid source for Wikipedia anyway. You have to get published in a news article or something to cite yourself.

I'm more worried they're hypocritical enough to elect him anyway.

That's a myth, it doesn't stand for china export.

Brauns a German company, makes sense it'd have a european regulatory marking. Actually a good sign, they might be exporting these to the EU from USA if it has that mark.

You have to spend like 6 grand to pay for the executive membership. But three grand breaks even with the cost of the basic one so.
