I already had Tide ( although the Amazon price seems fine here) I found the Borax cheaper at my local Target than it was on Amazon.
For me, I only ended up ordering the Arm and Hammer online. I linked all of the above products for you so you can see exactly what to order. You will need the following 4 cleaning items:ġ Big Scoop Tide Powdered Laundry Detergent. The final step is to run the freshly stripped laundry through a normal wash cycle with no soap and then dry the stuff. You’ll then want to fill the bathtub up with HOT water, add your laundry, add the ingredients below, and stir every hour for about 4-6 hours. It has all the basic features I’m looking for.įirst, gather the ingredients listed below. Which seems to be the biggest size you can get with the agitator. (On advice from the Go Clean Co cleaning master.) Lord knows I need as much help with laundry as a machine can give so I’m ready to switch back to the old school top loader with agitator. Neither did the top loader for that matter. It smells most of the time (like everyone warns you about) and it doesn’t clean well. The second one, our current broken one, is a front loader. The first one was a top loader without an agitator which got recalled by the company for exploding lids- yikes. Tangent time: We’ve lived in our current home for 6.5 years now and are on our second washing machine already, which is broke as of last night. Seriously though, I feel like my washing machine doesn’t do much good! Also, it’s currently broken. (This is straight from the genius at Go Clean Co company.) This includes: hard water, laundry detergent and fabric softener, body oils, dirt, and bacteria. The stripping method gets out all the buildup of the crap from your washing machine and also from our own grossness. So, how is it better than the regular wash?īasically, it goes the extra mile. I saw some videos and pics online and even people that are good at doing laundry were getting dark water from the stains and gunk coming out of their clothes. So, I was intrigued by laundry stripping and how it might help me improve the look of my sheets and towels after years of mistreatment.
I don’t sort anything and I rarely pretreat.
The only downside is that you won't be able to see the dirty water at the end, but it's a lot less messy and time-consuming than the bathtub method.Anyway, I’ll be the first to admit that I am not good at doing laundry. Then dry them without any dryer sheets.Īnyone who doesn't want to go to all of this effort can also just do strip laundry in the washing machine.

Finally, place the stripped laundry in the washing machine without any detergent or fabric softener and run a full cycle.Drain the water (after you've marveled over the dirty color) and wring out excess from the laundry items that were soaking.Allow everything to soak until the water has cooled completely, which can take four or five hours. Next, place clean laundry in the tub, then stir it occasionally.Once all the ingredients are in the water, stir until they dissolve. For example, a good amount is 1/4 cup of borax, 1/4 cup of washing soda, then 1/2 cup of laundry detergent. Add borax, washing soda (sodium carbonate) and laundry detergent at a ratio of 1:1:2, in that order.Fill up a bathtub or large sink with hot water.
