Laundry TikTok Hack

It’s a hot and sweaty summer here in Kansas. And I got sucked in by the doom scrolling….I saw a laundry hack on Instragram/Tik Tok that I had to try. I put our master bedding (which I laundry regularly) and put it through a stripping process.

Boy howdy did it work! I used one part borax, one part washing soda and one part powdered tide. I made the soup and dunked my sheets and coverlet. After and hour the water was gunky and I washed the set in my machine to remove the rest of the cleaning agents.

What came out was less oily, especially on the husbands side, and much softer. I think this process is supposed to lift stuck in oil and soap reside for a cleaner feel. I will definitely be going this again!

Sorry if I traumatized anyone with my laundry photos!

My Current State

Hey guess what? The laundry from yesterday is still there. I decided it was a good idea to delegate the folding to my hubby since I washed and dried it all. But he has a different world view on how quickly these kinds of things should be done. I’m curious to see how long it will take to get put away? For now, I’m just dressing Jellybean and PB from the baskets, lol.

But for now I have comfy yoga pants and my Weekender Sweater. The ladders are still there no matter what I try so I’m hoping that the blog advice that they will block out and even out when its done is true. So far I’m really pleased with the even colors I’m getting with the helical knitting. I have almost put one complete ball of the Malabrigo Rios into this sweater. Here’s hoping the next balls fades in nicely as well!

Happy Knitting!!
