  2. Someone explained what type of #detergent is best for #dishwashers and #washing machines intuitively: "Always use powder. "Liquid", "tabs", "discs", and "pearls" are more expensive than they need to be, are often overdosed, and can damage your machines if used for prolonged periods. Did you ever meet a cocaine addict who said 'liquid cocaine and cocaine tabs are great!' No. That's the proof."

  3. I don't watch much live TV except for sport. When the ads come on (at twice the volume) I try to mute them but occasionally they catch my attention. 📺

    For a while now I've been thinking about starting a new video series where I break apart what I see as the obvious propaganda in these videos. :PeerTube:

    Well I've gone and done a pilot episode. Do you like it? If so I'll make more in future and put more effort in to the video edit! Do let me know. 👍

  4. Powdered laundry detergent in boxes seemed to work quite well for decades and then companies switched to liquid in large thick plastic bottles. The boxes were biodegradable when disposed of but the plastic bottles last forever.

    Do consumers have the power to motivate manufactures into making boxed powdered detergent again?

  5. #DailyBloggingChallenge (325/365)

    The other day, I did a round of white #DressShirt #washing using the soak method and #detergent with #Oxi. These were soaked in a separate basin not to waste water in filling up a bathtub. To help sink the clothing, a 5lbs #FreeWeight was used.

    After letting it soak for 6h, I realized that I made an irreversible mistake. The water plus detergent solution was so strong that it dissolved the coating of the free weights and created #rust spots throughout the clothing.

    The only good thing is that it messed up the lesser important of the two shirts.

  7. "ear wax as a sports drink flavor": DirtyOldTown on the taste of dishwasher rinse additives in St. Peepsburg's question about dishwasher detergent recommendations for the sensitive stomach, in which we also learn to hand wash your travel mug (now and forever!), and "unscented" ≠ "fragrance-free," among other things. TIL!

  8. P&G Launches Tide Tiles in Bid to Change How Laundry Is Done 👔 🚿

    Ten years in the making, P&G has developed Tide detergent squares that eliminate water and plastic bottles

    Each tile—think of a palm-sized Triscuit—has six layers of fibers made of cleaning materials that dissolve in water and are designed to wash cold—saving on energy bills.

  10. I made my own laundry #detergent out of #chestnuts and it's really good!

    I washed my bed lines with it yesterday and had a really good sleep.

    This might be the most sustainable way, because I found those chestnuts while having a walk, but if you know better ones, let me know. I am open to test new things 🙂

  13. Study Says Up to 75% Of #Plastics From Detergent #Pods Enter The Environment, Industry Says They Safely Biodegrade

    by Jeff Kart, August 2021

    "First we were told: Don’t put #detergent pods in your mouth. Remember the #TidePod Challenge? Now a study says the pods aren’t necessarily an eco-friendly option for your washing machine or dishwasher.

    "That’s because the pods can contribute to plastic pollution when they’re used the 'right' way. They leak large amounts of untreated #PVA that can potentially enter #groundwater resources and #water systems and #contaminate the human food chain, according to a literature review by researchers with Arizona State University and the California nonprofit Plastic Oceans International."
