Laundry

Mom, I think I get my laundry skills from Dad. I was trying to figure out how to remove deodorant stains and decided that rather than do just one of the options I found on the internet, I would do all of them. At once.

So on my back patio I have 10 sweat stained white shirts soaking in my secret concoction overnight. What's in it? Glad you asked:

1/2 cup table salt
1/2 cup rock salt (i figured why not)
1/2 cup Tide
2 cups Borax
2 cups white vinegar
4 cups bleach
4 cups ammonia

I know that at least some of that stuff you are not supposed to mix together (produces chlorine gas or something). It started fizzing everywhere. And I feel lightheaded. It probably means it is working well.

  3. I think a better statement is that you get your sweaty armpits from dad. I feel blessed ... not a single one of my shirts has an armpipt stain ... guess I got mom's side on that one.

  4. A little overkill for just 12 shirts. Do be safe--this is only done outside with those numbers.
