I’ve read the virtues of this wonder powder on here numerous times. I started by washing my Carhartt coat, and my weeks worth of socks. What am I in for? Have I discovered Nirvana? Unfortunately, it’s not being washed in a Speed Queen, so that sucks

Whiter whites and softer clothes without the need for fabric softener, but mostly whiter whites, and grease stains come out on the first wash. (bacon grease) |

Wrong stuff. You want the sodium tripolyphosphate variety. Too much of trisodium will eat holes in your clothes, and when used in a dish washer will etch glass. STPP https://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-sodium-tripolyphosphate.htm |

Searched on Amazon Prime for it. Dap makes it, and they market it as a mold cleaner for drywall. Go figure Quoted:

This is what I have.
I’m glad I didn’t do anything too important then. Damn it |

It is used to strip dirt and mold off of wooden decks and concrete. Pretty mean stuff "The all purpose cleaner used by professionals prior to painting exterior surfaces. It removes mold, and de-glosses surfaces that are oil-base painted. Ideal for cleaning garage or basement floors, it can be used to restore dried, used paintbrushes." |
|
Not sure what that new fangled stuff is or what its uses are.
If you want something that works and wont harm you, your clothes, or much anything else. why not use washing soda? Washing Soda |

I just ordered the proper tripolysulphate stuff on Amazon. I get the sinking feeling I’m going down in ARF history for this

I took all my baseball caps and put them in a washer on hot with this. All the sweat and dark coloration was removed without affecting any color. Do not put your hats in the dryer let them dry naturally and you’ll be impressed they smell great too.
I bought like 5 pounds on Amazon three years ago and I still have 90% left. |
