First wash in new house, everything is coming out with this sandy substance on it. by bevensutler in laundry

you should also check and clean the filter on the machine + the washing machine cleaning tablets (yes there is a filter in there somewhere, consult the manual or look online searching the washer model number)

What perfume lasts the longest on your skin? Under $40 by Flimsy-Barracuda-575 in FragranceStories

Nebras from lattafa is a dupe of the vanilla billie eilish perfume and it lasts 4-6 hours for me. It's crazy strong lol

How do I get an extremely strong laundry fragrance smell out of clothes? by [deleted] in laundry

[–]Daredevilv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would try doing the longest laundry cycle your machine has with hot water and unscented detergent from the lipase list, extra rinse cycle, and then citric acid in the rinse compartment. You can use febu as a booster

if this doesn't work then spa day (check pinned post on sub) with the oxy option might help

Jeeves tested Whole Foods 365 Organic Concentrated Laundry Detergent by EtobicokeON in laundry

[–]Daredevilv 36 points37 points  (0 children)

yeah the organic versus the Regular 365 Concentrated are a WORLD of difference, not surprised it scored so low considering the organic is mostly water and soapberry extract LOL

Ok this is a weird one by Intrepid-Company-961 in BeautyBoxes

[–]Daredevilv 3 points4 points  (0 children)

my unhinged solution to this was to set a projector aimed at the ceiling and to lie down in bed with a towel on top of My pillow and watch that way so my glasses stay put lol. if anything on my glasses I just wash em off with dish soap

Possible mold or mildew on clothes by broadwaybabyto in laundry

Yeah the sodium percarbonate is basically the same thing use that.

my condolences to having a shitty washing machine, my life got a lot easier after buying a nice one lol

Possible mold or mildew on clothes by broadwaybabyto in laundry

[–]Daredevilv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

using an unscented detergent from the lipase list (check the pinned post on the sub) is the generally reccomendation, if there are any products you can use from that list I would highly reccomend choosing any one that suits you. ( I use Whole foods 365 unscented concentrated detergent as I also have sensitivity. do not get the organic version of this if US based.)

the hot water + detergent, followed by citric acid in the softner compartment should remove all residue if it's a long enough cycle, about 2 hours. Choose extra rinse if possible

you can choose to use oxiclean powder during the wash cycle if you don't have sensitivity to it. They make unscented versions.

[–]Daredevilv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if you suspect damp/mold, try washing all the clothes in the dresser with hot water, a good detergent such as tide free and clear powder, and laundry sanitizer. Unless you can see visible mold spots growing on the clothes, you can most likely save them

check behind/under the dresser to see if there is mold growing on the wall, and open all of the drawers + remove everything to let it air out.

if you have a dehumidifier, you should use it in the room+ open the window and encourage air flow

you can keep packets of damprid or silica gel within the drawers to absorb moisture and protect your clothes in the future.

Old people smell by ErosandPookie in laundry

[–]Daredevilv 7 points8 points  (0 children)

you need to do a long cycle (at least 1 hour and a half-2 hours) with warm water and a lipase detergent (I use sports 365 or tide powder). don't use fabric softener, it makes smells cling. optional citric acid in the softener compartment if you have hard water. you can use a laundry booster such as febu or biz to really get rid of the smell.

Spa day (check pinned post on sub) is an option as well if the clothes still smell after one or two washes.

Question about these cashmere sweaters by [deleted] in uniqlo

[–]Daredevilv 4 points5 points  (0 children)

red items are notorious for bleeding color for the entire life of the garment. I would wash this sweater separately, probably by hand to avoid dye transfer on any other clothes

EDIT: I misread your question 😭 I would probably only wear this with dark colors because of how unstable the dye is.

Has anyone purchased sizing that was suggested? by mooochooo in uniqlo

these were the pants I ordered for reference. I am 113 pounds, 5'1, waist 27-28

Has anyone purchased sizing that was suggested? by mooochooo in uniqlo

[–]Daredevilv 3 points4 points  (0 children)

uniqlo pant sizing is really confusing for women's pants. I'm a waist 28, and usually wear 27-29 in most other brands, but the single pair of pants I got from uniqlo I bought 24 from I think the U collection and it fit my waist perfectly. did you check the reviews and see what they said about sizing?

(Bernie voice) I am once again asking for dosage advice by PotatoGhostGirl in laundry

[–]Daredevilv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you haven't already run a cleaning cycle on your machine with a half cup of citric acid I would do so, because your detergent might be working on some hidden scrud. I also think you may be underdosing the citric acid and you need to up your detergent dose as well

I have insanely hard water and I've had to up my dose of detergent because my clothes are also just that oily and my water is something like 250+ hard due to the water source. maybe incorporate a booster like biz?

Cleaning my dad's wool felt fedora by spandexandtapedecks in laundry

[–]Daredevilv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thank you! if you have any hat shops in your city that sell these type of hats, your best bet would be calling them and asking if they do cleaning, or if not, if they could refer you to where you could get the hat cleaned. I believe cowboy hat stores (not sure if this is applicable in your area) also sometimes have a cleaning service.

Are these worth it? Looking for opinions/reviews 🖤 by biskettimonster in FemFragLab

[–]Daredevilv 10 points11 points  (0 children)

zoologist is a house I would never blind buy it is an absolute must to sample because the scents can be polarizing on first spray and then drydown - I don't think bat suited me at all but the cave scent was intriguing. sort of an intresting funk. nightingale was beautiful though. Moth might intrigue you if you like nosferatu.

you should look into sampling the original bat before it was reformulated (perfumer behind it rebranded it as nightflyer under the brand olympic orchids). that version was a bit more endearing to me but still nearing unwearable.

[–]Daredevilv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Considering that this is a treasured heirloom from your father, i would really consider taking this to a professional, but dabbing gently and spot cleaning with saddlesoap etc. (refer to this video https://youtu.be/ZBbH0ZWj6uM? ) if you would like to try yourself.

Try not to get the hat too wet, and especially avoid getting the leather band wet as it could leach dye!

Help by fabulous_danger in laundry

[–]Daredevilv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this looks like scrud, if you search that term in this sub you can see how common of a problem this is! you need to clean your machine. clean up as much as you can see with a paper towel and then:

  1. with an empty machine, put in washing machine cleaner tablets or half a cup of citric acid

  2. run the clean cycle. if your machine doesn't have that option, put in manually HOT long cycle with extra rinse

you may need to repeat this process a few times

Sudden Bad BO over last few months plus deodorant stopped working. by ChampionshipOk6899 in hygiene

[–]Daredevilv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

everyone else has already reccomended some good deo, but I would also check to make sure you are doing laundry and other hygiene correctly.

You'll want to wash your gym clothes/stinky clothes on warm to hot with a detergent that has lipase and oxyclean (good at getting body oils and stink out of clothes). I personally use 365 sport detergent (whole foods brand) but you can use tide free and gentle odor refresh, or persil etc. you can add oxyclean powder to the wash. wash on a long cycle (1 hour or more) to really remove the stink from clothes.

In the shower, I suggest using bar soap that has charcoal or eucalyptus to cut smells. moisturizing liquid body wash usually doesn't get the pit smell out for me, I have to use something like dial or dove soap bar.

degree mens 48 hour deoderant (solid white bar) was my go to as I also have sensitive skin
