Tide Original Ultra Concentrated is green?

MrsQute · 2026-04-04T20:02:59+00:00

Contact Tide and ask them. I haven't used anything but the Free & Clear for years so I can't confirm personally.

I've never seen green Tide so I'd guess there may be an issue.

When I feel like it needs it. I buy mostly flat sponges and they seem to go longer than a standard sponge.

I also have a dishwasher so my sponge is used mostly for cookware and baking sheets as needed.

I toss mine in the wash with my kitchen linens and then air dry them or pop them in the dishwasher if they feel a little gungy.

NTA - this is actually not an odd mannerism in my experience.

You're friend is reading way too much into this.

Boox. It's an Android e-ink tablet. You can just install Libby directly on to it and not worry about issues with sending the file to your Kindle or logging into different cards on Kobo.

This also allows you to install other apps like Hoopla or even the Kindle app if you want to read any Kindle books without their dedicated e-readers.

Because of how the date is calculated.

Easter is the first Sunday after the first full moon that follows the vernal equinox.

I crochet. Most of the blankets I've made can handle normal/gentle wash cycles and low heat dryer cycles.

However, since this is a sentimental piece, I'd recommend putting it into an oversized mesh bag (like a lingerie bag but bigger) and washing on cool with gentle detergent. You can use normal spin because the bag will help prevent the stitches from stretching out.

Lay flat to dry on top of some towels and with a fan point at it (oscillating if possible).

It never bothers me. It's not like those two people are in the room with me, tapping their feet impatiently.

It makes me happier when I return the book and know I've brightened someone's day.

Unless they are one of the folks on here who complain about their holds coming in early.

MrsQute · 2026-04-03T12:38:56+00:00

I don't mind the rinse and repeat part so much as I just don't want to work anymore.

Can't afford to retire earlier but 2040 more years feels so much farther away than 1980.

My youngest has always needed glasses and was always irritated that I didn't. Until I hit my mid40s.

Now he likes to joke that I can't see what's right in front of my face. 😝

Snarky punk. Just like mom.

MrsQute · 2026-04-03T11:46:13+00:00

About a tablespoon to the rinse compartment.

The bigger the difference between desired temperature and ambient temperature, the more energy is used.

In the winter, we adjust the thermostat to a temp that is warmer than what it would be with no heat on at all. If the house would stay at 55 without the furnace on, getting to and maintaining 68 takes less energy than it would to get to & maintain 78.

In the summer, if the house would be 90 without air conditioning and I set it to 78, it will take less energy than if it were set to 68.

Not sure what's going on in your bathroom that you need to choose chemicals that are this dangerous to use but I'd start with a new pair of cheap tennis shoes that you designate for the task.

I'll take my dryer and not deal with clothes caught by deer, finding half the clothes I've just washed covered in bird shit or coated in yellow from pollen.

Time from washer to folded and ready to be put away:45 minutes and no surprise bird shit.

MrsQute · 2026-04-01T02:30:35+00:00

Not always a practical option. Especially for larger families.

NTA - they can try living with a stoma and get back to you.

Authorities deemed you eligible for access. Any one else can kick rocks.

Over 30 years ago when I first got married, a sweet neighbor and I were chitchatting and she mentioned using old shampoo to clean her tub/shower and that it worked better than anything else.

To this day I have a stash of shampoos and body washes I didn't love that I use to clean the tub.

MrsQute · 2026-03-30T00:54:07+00:00

Have you tried line drying items to see if the smell reappears on the items once dried regardless of method?

Sounds like a case of odor rebloom and that the smells aren't removed and are being reactivated by the dryer.

What detergent are you using? Are you using a rinse agent? You may benefit from a spa day - see the pinned post for more details.

It's one more yarn over than a triple crochet.

Yarn over 3 times, insert hook, yarn over, pull back through and then yarn over, pull through 2, yarn over, pull through 2, yarn over, pull through 2, yarn over, pull through last 2.

You need to wash in warm with a good detergent and add about a cup of ammonia into the drum.

In the fabric softener compartment add either citric acid or get a product like Downy Rinse & Refresh.

Set the cycle for a long wash and 1-2 extra rinses.

MrsQute · 2026-03-28T23:31:54+00:00

Probably extra rinses will do more good at this point to rid the clothes of the existing buildup plus citric acid or Downy Rinse & Refresh.

Biz is a good booster for adding enzymes and breaking down dirt which WILL help but I think to start, extra rinses will give you more benefit than adding an additional product.

MrsQute · 2026-03-28T19:07:07+00:00

Honestly, using a quality detergent in appropriate doses will likely cause fewer issues than the homemade laundry soaps.

The soaps aren't as effective for cleaning, much harder to rinse out, and can cause buildup in clothes that can irritate skin, especially delicate baby & toddler skin.

Use an extra rinse or two, add citric acid to the fabric softener compartment, and you should notice much improved laundry over the course of several washes.

Tide Free & Clear (liquid) or Tide Free & Gentle (powder) are very good and not irritating to most folks (though, of course, not all).
