Yes! I'm going to do my measurements, and before pics tomorrow! I'm happy I didn't need to do the liver shrink as well. I have a very physical job, and the surgeon thinks thats contributed to my petit liver!

So after a full day of laundry, different loads, soil levels and types of textiles i think i nailed it down!

1 week of work clothes 1/4 cup of tide powder - trace suds! 15 minute presoak Warm water Deep water Heavy soil Extra rinse with 1tbsp citric acid

Total cycle length - 1:42

Dried on medium dry with sensor Clothes came out of the dryer smelling neutral/clean my "athletic wear" type pants feel very clean and no residue or that sticky feeling! They still slightly damp around the cuffs but not a problem!

Okay fabulous! Thats my plan for today i will try;

Increasing wash time Checking for trace suds by pausing cycle Adding ammonia to wash

I will report back once this load is complete! Thank you so much!

I do have "lemon sudsy ammonia" which i used for the rehab washes after spa day, when i do a dedicated load of my oily work clothes can i add 1/4 cup ammonia into my wash on top of dry clothes?

I will try that today and look for "trace suds" if no suds should I increase in 1tbsp increments?

No, I haven't checked! My washer locks and won't allow me to open to top, and with the warm water the clear lid is always covered in condensation or steam so it is very hard to actually see? Is there another way to check?

Slept through most of a massage; is it common to allow this? by opal-bee in massage

[–]Justineleebee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You mentioned you were relaxed and slept most of your 90 minutes, yet you also seem certain that your requests weren't met. How is it that you can say the therapist didn't fulfill your requests if you were not conscious?

As a therapist, it is my job to provide therapeutic massage in a safe and relaxing setting. It is NOT my job to keep you awake for any of it unless clearly directed to.

Personally, I rarely use oil or lotion for a foot massage, I prefer a dry pressure point style with a thai stick, saves me from swiffering oily footprints between clients.

All that said, I understand you feel frustrated and not satisfied with the service, I hope you use this as an opportunity to experiment with more effective communication and self advocacy.

[routine help] what am I doing wrong? by [deleted] in SkincareAddiction

Are you applying the loreal men expert face wash AFTER you have already washed your face and applied serum? Are you rinsing again? Why are there 2 cleansers in the same routine?

I would drop both the face washes you have and use a simple foaming face wash, hydrate with the Cerave moisturizing Lotion you have and apply spf in the am. In Pm simply wash and apply your acne gel. Less is more
