washing anything that got moldy (like cloth napkins from the kitchen that sat in the hamper) / funky - I use a solid tablet detergent (blue land plastic free) and a baking soda / vinegar. works great.
I don’t use them myself but sort of get why people use dishwasher tablets, but laundry pods/tabs make zero sense to me. Not all loads are the same size.
How so? I guess they are more expensive but I can afford like $2 per pack for the convenience of just throwing them in.
Am I doing it wrong?
Serious question
they react, they don’t equalize, and the results do a fine job of cleaning / removing smells. look, I’m not going to try to convince you your understanding of chemistry is incorrect, but try it before you knock it.
dump a cup of baking soda and a cup of white wine vinegar, wash again, they’ll be fine.

Baking soda can’t melt steel memes
Make sure to wash away your national tragedy with cold water
I see this often. Does this work better than just washing again with tablets? Or even just a water wash?
Washing with tablets?

I’ve been using detergent “sheets” which are easy to cut up and portion depending on load size. No plastics either!

Thanks. The brand I use is an eco one that does not use any plastic packaging at all, only cardboard. The pod film is bio-degradable too
Vinegar and baking soda will cancel each other out. I would just use regular white distilled vinegar, don’t need to use the fancy stuff on it.
