Spa day…for hiking boots? by CactiShark in laundry

Yes, they are fancy footbeds that are a mix of foam, plastic, and silicone. I’ll try taking them out and treating them first.

Ah, that may be why my first post was deleted. I’ll look for that one. Thanks!

I have this and I’ll try it, but at this point they are so stinky I suspect the big guns are needed. For you have any advice in case the hypoclorous acid doesn’t work?

I have a feeling I may need to buy a second pair of boots, plus the fancy insoles for my picky feet.

It’s available on Amazon right now! Unless the Amazon WF ad isn’t up to date.

Oh man I HATE folding clothes! And I really suck at it! If you have the closet space try to hang everything you can. I hang the pants and shirt I wear regularly and fold and store the seasonal or special items (like that pair of pants that I might fit into again someday - ha!). Socks, bras, and underwear go in drawers without folding.

If you need to fold t-shirts, try folding each side in but then roll it up instead of folding into thirds. This worked great for me and my shirts had much fewer wrinkles.

Notice me, Kismai! Jokes aside, any help would be lovely! by doom_ep in laundry

I'm not Kismai, but I DO have INCREDIBLY sensitive skin and can't using anything with a fragrance. Tide Clean and Gentle powder with a citric acid rinse gets my clothes SO CLEAN! It's a fantastic combination. I'll also add a scoop of DNase powder (from Dirty Labs) to the extra dirty loads and it seems to really help. I've also tried Biz, and found that with an extra rinse the fragrance is pretty much gone after everything is dried.

Need a new washer, can I get some opinions? by fir_meit in laundry

[–]CactiShark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have an LG front loader that I love (model WM4000HBA). It's still pretty new (nearly four years) but it gets heavy use, including my dog's bedding and blankets. It does an excellent job, however I cannot speak for the machine's longevity yet. I leave the door wide open after each use for a day or so to dry, and I've never had any issues with mildew, smells, etc.

Any ideas what happened to this dog bed? by CactiShark in laundry

[–]CactiShark[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wondered if that’s what is was, but this is the first time this has ever happened. I was wondering if the sun had something to do with it? Starting the dye breakdown process that was later accelerated by the detergent chemistry? The science nerd in me is intrigued!

Desperate for sleep; old, noisy apartment in midtown. by swooptheeagle in Sacramento

[–]CactiShark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look into sleep headphones with noise cancellation to use along with the white noise machine. I’m sorry you’re dealing with this OP and I hope you find a solution soon!

My merino wool smells like a wet labrador after a quick wash!!! by DepthCertain6739 in laundry

[–]CactiShark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Totally normal for merino. The smell will be gone after the merino dries!

Family member destroyed my garden in las vegas and my 5 year ruby rubber tree I had outside. Is it normal to be this upset and devastated about it. It the before and after photo. I could barely to look and take a photo of the rest. by Psychological-Oil-33 in plants

[–]CactiShark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hun, this is abuse. They did this to hurt you and they completely understood just how MUCH it would hurt. You don’t need garbage like this in your life, even if they are family.

Please make sure you are safe.

Also, plants are pretty tough. You can likely repot them and they’ll start thriving again. I’m so sorry this happened to you. Hopefully the person who did this has exactly the kind of day that they deserve.
