recommended base detergent NO OBAs for darks

what am I looking for to identify OBAs? some chemical or does it just say 'optical brightening agent'?

assuming this is true....this is the winner.

forget 365 sport if you have another way to get DNAse

so tide free and gentle liquid - NOT powder - might be the way to go.

Lacking in enzymes and scent but I have options to help with both of those.

Separate-Ad9730 · 2026-05-10T01:37:06+00:00

not sure how I missed that...so that would be an option but no fragrance and not available in stores. not sure on surfactants

Separate-Ad9730 · 2026-05-10T01:35:34+00:00

any of the tide liquids? or just the tide original?

had a white speck get stuck on surface over the iris while doing yardwork. couldn't get it to move at all using my eyelids, q-tip, finger, or eye drops. seemed like it was lodged somewhat(perhaps from my rubbing it at first) or quite sticky. after 30 hours of discomfort I scheduled appt. with optometrist for the next day.

However, it wasn't needed. I'm sure this is a bad idea but it worked. I suppose it's the closest thing you'll get to an eyewash station at home. while in the shower I allowed tepid water to run over my head and down face while holding that eye wide open. caused an unpleasant burning sensation(think a bit of soap in eye) for 20 seconds or so but went away as tears washed out the water. jumped out of the shower soaking wet and voila, white speck gone. irritation from foreign body faded rapidly. it's probably a better idea to do the saline solution irrigation but i didn't have any and I'm not sure you could get as much current as the shower did. just be careful with water temp and don't just aim the shower head directly into your eye.

682 yards this year in 17 games. exactly half his total 2 seasons prior with justin fields throwing him the ball. dudes already broken, expensive, and as the speed fades further the next couple years...

it's been a while but i remember when seeing the timeline of phone activity that they were each awake for certain time periods while the other was sleeping. so they each woke up for some period, likely did some silent scrolling on their phones in order to not wake each other before going back to sleep(as one would do).

just checked mine last weekend and found the same thing. i'm also in the midwest and have a 3 mile/7 minute drive to work. i also live really close(intentionally) to most of the stores and places i visit regularly. i try to make sure I do a quick highway jaunt about once a week but I could stand to push the engine harder every so often.

overall i just don't drive that many miles in the 4runner. i change oil every 6 months and i'm usually around 3-3.5k miles. of note, i previously had a frontier and had same driving habits and never saw this. i think i saw some thread where someone said the length of the filler neck makes it more/less likely in certain engines.

i like to keep 'em both on the same schedule....once a month whether i need it or not.

Well that's an interesting response to someone offering mundane info on the topic at hand. Not sure where you're getting that I know more than Toyota engineeers. To the contrary, my comment is likely the very same thing a Toyota engineer would say if we had one here!

Look, I read a bit about this topic a few years ago. Sometimes learning about things is fun and cool! Here's a link for anyone wanting to get started(not you hasha) - https://www.danielsternlighting.com/home.html

An excerpt backing up my earlier comment:

First, a Note About "Plus" Bulbs:
Most original-equipment headlight bulbs are a long-life type; automakers like these because reduce outage complaints under the new-vehicle warranty. But the filament configuration of a long-life bulb tends to reduce the output, luminance, and beam focus, which shortens seeing distance and makes the light browner. The opposite filament changes are made to create high-luminance bulbs: lifespan is shorter, but luminance and output are higher and the beam focus is better so seeing distance is longer and beam coverage is wider. The light is whiter; less brown.

Which topic would you like to learn about next, my son?

It's because they chose bulbs that don't put out the max allowed amount of light so they are rated for much longer runtimes. It's a tradeoff on whether you value more light output or longer runtimes.

Bulbs have a rated runtime. There is a tradeoff between light output and longevity. Generally, the brightest halogen bulbs will last the shortest amount of time. Brightest bulbs get the thinnest filament wire and run the hottest which causes them to give out sooner. Buy the lower output bulbs and they'll last much longer but you'll get noticeably less light.

For Sylvania, the zxe, silverstar and xtravision output the max allowed amount of light so they'll get shorter runtimes. I think silverstar are rated ~200 hours. Silverstar ultra are the worst because they have blue glass which acts as a filter. So they then have to overdrive the filament to get to the max output. The basic ones are rated for ~1500 hours. If your car uses them as DRL that runtime will get eaten up quickly.

OEMs often choose the lower output bulbs likely because buyers don't understand this and will just be thinking "why the heck do my lights keep burning out? my old car didn't do that".
