now if only i can find a way to get fabric softener/scent beads stank out of clothes so i can buy used stuff without getting rashes and headaches.

so far it’s worked for poly blend t-shirts with lingering BO, sheets that would get weird smells after being stored for longer than a few weeks, pot holders that seemed stained but were just greasy, workout gear that seemed stinky beyond repair…i feel like i’ve cracked the laundry code.

And of course, other marginalized people who are struggling. It's a tough time for lots of people. :(

my yearly reminder: don't use a reversing vacuum cleaner to clear a clogged garbage disposal unless you are prepared to clean ten pounds of potato peelings off the roof. poof! up through the vent! clog was gone, though. so successful!
