I recently discovered laundry stripping and y’all, no matter how much of a crock of shit you think fast fashion is, you’re underestimating.
[image ID: a screenshot of the notes on this post, featuring several people indicating they want to know more. End ID.]
OKAY SO. You know how we talk about how one way fast fashion has made itself “necessary” is that the clothing looks like shit and feels horrible after just a few washes?
Let. Me. Tell. You. Something.
Laundry stripping is a process where you load your laundry into a tub or bin (I’ve been using my bathtub) with warm water, half a cup of borax, half a cup of washing soda, and half a cup of laundry soap (not detergent, SOAP, there’s a chemical difference). Leave it there for at least eight hours. I’ve been going for 12-24.
What you will come back to is a tub full of nearly-opaque black-gray-brown water that absolutely REEKS. This is normal. You are looking at (and smelling) hard water buildup, body sweat and oils that were embedded in the fabric, dead skin, and just regular grime.
Wring out your clothes. Throw them in the washer. (I like to do a spin-only cycle before going any further, because I have one of those washers that determines by weight how much water any given load needs.) Wash as usual.
You will notice I didn’t suggest any further pretreatment, and that’s because 1) you don’t want to layer too many chemicals on top of each other but also 2) you may not even need it.
When your clothes come out, check each one as it goes into the dryer, and if anything else s still stained, set it aside to run again with a regular pretreatment. One of the sweaters I did this with apparently did need a second treatment…to deal with what appears to have possibly been a hot chocolate stain that was previously invisible due to “well, it’s old” dinginess. I was planning to throw this sweater out. It looks almost new now. I need to wash it one more time for the probably-a-hot-chocolate stain, and then it needs to have the hem weighted to block it and bring it back to evenness, but dude. I wear my clothes to rags and I thought this thing was unfixable. “I need to reshape it” is nothing.
Remove clothes from dryer when done. Fucking MARVEL at the colors and how good the fabric feels. Give them a smell. Get righteously and royally angry that you can rejuvenate this stuff so easily, with a process that does take awhile but is 90% hands-off, but we’ve been trained to believe it’s all got to be binned once a year because discoloration and gross fabric is “normal wear and tear” and can’t be fixed.
It’s utterly unreal! I just pulled a seven-year-old work undershirt out of the dryer and this thing looks NEW!! It FEELS almost new!!! One of the shirts I hung up from the last load is older than some of the people on this site and it went from “I keep this to wear on laundry day, for sentimental reasons” to “I could actually wear this out of the house, it looks old but respectable”! The pajama bottoms I’m wearing were from Goodwill and they have BRIGHT YELLOW in them! I thought it was goldenrod!!
I do not know how often you’re supposed to do this (doing it every time can strip the dye out of your clothes, not to mention it’s way too much work to do every time), but once or twice per season seems respectable. I don’t wear white, so I can’t test the “it will make whites look almost-new as well” claim, but I’ve seen a lot of people on the cleaning subreddit attest that it works.
Just remember: WASHING soda. Not baking soda. I tried baking soda and a little bit happened, but not a lot.
Go forth. Rejuvenate your clothing. Strip your laundry.
Damn, that's useful!
I have also discovered that washing fabrics with washing soda will remove the smell of male cat urine better than products that are for that specifically.
Can confirm it also does this for female cat urine.

some others i found in the notes
When you find yourself in a loop, ask yourself which one of these applies?
(also i love all the fun translations Tumblr has made)

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
blue lock objectively is insane and probably bad. but the thing about blue lock is that once you watch it youre like holy shit this is peak. its a disease.
other powerpoints ive made (including bllk part 2)
decentralize and clean up your life!!!
- use overdrive, libby, hoopla, cloudlibrary, and kanopy instead of amazon and audible.
- use firefox instead of chrome or opera (both are made with chromium, which blocks functionality for ad-blockers. firefox isn't based on chromium).
- use mega or proton drive instead of google drive.
- get rid of bloatware
- use libreoffice instead of microsoft office suite
- use vetted sites on r/FREEMEDIAHECKYEAH for free movies, books, games, etc.
- use trakt or letterboxd instead of imdb.
- use storygraph instead of goodreads.
- use darkpatterns to find mobile game with no ads or microtransactions
- use ground news to read unbiased news and find blind spots in news stories.
- use mediahuman or cobalt to download music, or support your favorite artists directly through bandcamp
- make youtube bearable by using mtube, newpipe, or the unhook extension on chrome, firefox, or microsoft edge
- use search for a cause or ecosia to support the environment instead of google
- use thriftbooks to buy new or used books (they also have manga, textbooks, home goods, CDs, DVDs, and blurays)
- use flashpoint to play archived online flash games
- find books, movies, games, etc. on the internet archive! for starters, here's a bunch of David Attenborough documentaries and all of the Animorphs books
- burn your music onto cds
- use pdf24 (available online or as a desktop app) instead of adobe
- use unroll.me to clean your email inboxes
- use thunderbird, mailfence, countermail, edison mail, tuta, or proton mail instead of gmail
- remove bloatware on windows PC, macOS, and iOS X
- remove bloatware on samsung X
- use pixelfed instead of instagram or meta
- use NCH suite for free software like a file converter, image editor, video editors, pdf editor, etc.
feel free to add more alternatives, resources or advice in the reblogs or replies, and i'll add them to the main post <3

Twirling my hair sighing dreamily because my evil shixiong who is jealous of my superior talent (universe just gave it to my idek why) keeps trying to sabotage my cultivation and ruin my reputation but he's sooo bad at it that it backfires every time. Kicking my feet and giggling because he's gonna spend the weekend trying to get me disqualified from the upcoming tournament and that means we get to spend time together!
Shixiong tried to make it look like I was unfilial and desecrated the memorial tablets of the sect founders. But then I ended up just finding the secret entrance to the sect's buried library under the ancestral hall that the elders have spend decades searching for. There were all kinds of things in there idk I'm not good with old dusty tomes and alchemy and stuff, but Shifu says with this we can finally pay off some of the sect's crippling debts!
Anyway Shixiong had already run off to avoid being implicated in the vandalism of the memorial tablets so he wasn't there when the library entrance opened (I tripped into it), so now I'm getting an award and he's suuuuper pissed. His eyes look so pretty when they flash with barely-concealed hatred. Shifu thinks the damage to the tablets was an unfortunate accident but it's okay because we can get new ones now!
Shifu says it's vital I represent the sect at the tournament so we can show that our techniques are still good even if we've fallen on hard times. LOL I mean he's probably right I do win like all of my fights but idk seems pretty cringe to have a whole sect's reputation riding on the youngest disciple? Like how does that show off our techniques I don't even study I'm just like blessed by the gods or something.
Shixiong tried to my poison my millet porridge this morning. So fun to have something zesty to taste. ❤❤❤
OMG but like. Yeah I won the tournament. But Shixiong was so cool you guys like his actual martial arts techniques are frankly garbage I'm pretty sure, everyone else had these flashy cool abilities that were summoning like spirit animals and lightning and wind and Shixiong can't do any of that (I can but idk how actually it just sort of happens), but he figured out this poison that he put on his blade that sapped his enemies abilities and like six of them fainted. But then he got caught breaking rules. :( :( :(
He's sooo clever and dreamy. He looked sexy when he was being disqualified. We made eye contact the whole time! He tried to frame me for cheating instead but it didn't work but his plan was really elaborate! He even had to make an antidote for himself because he accidentally poisoned himself a bunch too. Now he's resting.
I'm going to sit at his bedside and watch him sleep!
Shifu is so annoying. He was going to expel Shixiong from the sect! But dw I talked him out of it. :)
I got a mysterious message telling me to meet someone by the waterfall. It was Shixiong! Out on the mountain in the beautiful night air! He was wearing a mask but I would recognize him anywhere lol no one else in the sect has those narrow glittering eyes or an ass that flat. ❤
It was amazing. The rush of the waterfall roaring in the dark, his gaze so hot even though the wind was so cold, the way his blade slashed through the folds of my uniform, he spent hours just paying attention to me! Heehee! He wanted to know why I wouldn't just die! Silly Shixiong, I don't know either, but I let him push me under the falls. It seemed like he needed it, y'know?
Plus it was a nice swim. Walking back to the sect rn to surprise him!
I love my shixiong he's the best worst most evil and pretty I bet the other sects evil shixiongs can't compare #myshixiong
Aw beans. Bad news, I got sidetracked on my way back to the sect. There was another sect's disciple and she was being harassed so like I was just gonna go around but then I slipped and one of the bandits(?) tried to fight me so I just, obliterated them all and yeah then the girl noticed me and blah blah blah long boring story short I had to go do another quest.
Silver lining, apparently the shimei I rescued is my shixiong's betrothed! Yeah so now she's got this really obvious crush on me and Shixiong is probably going to be furious. I'm swooning just thinking about it. I bet he'll do that thing where he clenches his fist and rips his gaze away just to stare ominously into the middle distance. ❤❤
First I gotta get back to the sect though. But bs keeps happening and getting in the way. 🙄
Don't understand why Shixiong's gf isn't also anxious to get back to him. I've been telling her all about him but she says she has "reservations" like??? For a restaurant??? Shouldn't she want to get back even more then???
Guys when it is appropriate to ask a girl if she'd mind if you continued your homoerotically charged situationship with her man after they get married? I've been tryna figure out how to broach the subject but she seems kinda booksmart but not like. Smart-smart? But she's def into me so maybe a throuple situation?? I don't like women though I mean I don't mean I don't like women I'm #feministally but I only want Shixiong to stab me over candlelit dinners. We could still do other stuff though! Hang out, fight monsters back to back but like, without swearing to kill each other after it's over I guess?
Good news! We made it back to the sect!
Shixiong was really surprised oh the look on his face! They were having a funeral for me so they for sure thought I was dead haha. It's funny because I don't think I actually even can die?
Well if I can, I'm sure Shixiong will be the one to figure it out! He's a genius and he never gives up. ❤❤❤
Bad news is that now Shixiong is spending time with his GF and Shifu says I need to leave them be. :( Shifu won't stop asking what happened at the waterfall either like I'm sure Shixiong already told him a cover story, nosy old man, mind ur business please! 🙄
"Why would he stay to eat with Luo Binghe? "
"For the first time, cornered in on all sides, with Zhao De looming over and grinning meanly at him, it occurs to him why Ming Fan might have done so."
