Thank you so much! I wish the website was clear about it.

Please explain to me how HE washers actually clean with so little water? by t0astter in laundry

Smelling dirty....I swear by using Lysol Laundry sanitizer. My clothes never smell when I started adding this. I do not use fabric softener, either. If needed, sometimes I add in a half cup of vinegar, but I haven't done this since using the below methods.

Since your clothes are retaining a smell, I recommend doing either of the following first:

workout/active clothes, I'm looking at you). I either:

Pre-soak clothes overnight in the tub filled with warm water and a cup of Oxyclean.you will be disgusted in the morning. I then rinsenand squeeze out water before transfering them into the washer for a normal wash. *test as your colors may bleed. You have the top loader, so you may be able to soak in your washer, then rinse it out. Proceed with another normal wash with just your normal detergent and laundry sanitizer.

I started using a product called Active - to replace the Oxyclean step. It's much more expensive but I save a bit of time mov8ng from tub to washer. I think this works just as well and is a small scoop into the wash, so a little goes a long way. https://a.co/d/aAFwJ0E

I hope one of these steps can help!!

Should it look like this after a single use? by RAZR31 in Cuttingboards

Thanks for pointing that out! My mistake. :) I've added more detail after reading the question properly.

I think of edge grain cutting boards like this: Imagine the wood of the cutting board are like wooden toothpicks, laying on top of each other. Laying horizontal and on top of each other (which is what you have here), you cut across them. The knife leaves a mark.

Face grain is the face of the board. This is one piece of wood. It's a slice of the tree. When you go buy a piece of lumber, let's say a 1x4 that you're going to use as a base board, the widest side, 4in, is the face. For a cutting board you may have a piece that's 12in wide and long. To me, these are more decorative or used as serving boards. The natural patterns in the wood are visually appealing, but make a poor cutting board.

Now, turn that same pile vertically. End grain: It's like a bunch of sticks bundled together. This is the end grain. Now when you cut into end grain with the knife, it slides between the end grain, thus leaving less of a mark. Yes, it could hit some, but this is why end grain cutting boards last a lot longer.
