White vinegar, run them again. All good.
would add baking soda but yeah, it gets the funk out.
The baking soda will just neutralize the vinegar though? And you’ll get salt water? Vinegar is good at getting smells out though.
not sure on the precise chemistry involved in the reaction, but it works like a charm for getting stains and smells out of laundry, and takes smells out of counters etc. w/o using harsh chemicals. you should give it a try.
baking soda+ vinegar makes carbon dioxide, water and sodium acetate
it reacts. I can’t explain the precise chemistry behind the reaction, but it breaks organic deposits / stains / crud and actually gets funky smells out of the wash. works better than any off the shelf product I’ve tried.
I personally use the vinegar instead, but one or another will do the trick.
But like you said, both at once make salt water, which is less effective at killing germs and removing funk.
So you started the load again, and then forgot again.
Dump a cup of white vinegar into the wash, let them soak. Mildew will be gone. Add an extra rinse if it smells of vinegar.
dump a cup of baking soda and a cup of white wine vinegar, wash again, they’ll be fine.
He wishes there was such an easy fix for two planes flying into skyscrapers.
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?
Brah you shouldn’t be using tide pods regardless. They’re no good for your wallet or the environment.
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.
For Dishwasher Tablets. This goes into way more depth than ya need but they skip a whole ass wash cycle - which is why there are 2 places for your soap in your dishwasher.
I’ve been using detergent “sheets” which are easy to cut up and portion depending on load size. No plastics either!
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
Tide Pods use what is known as PVA plastic as the ‘dissolvable plastic’. PVA exactly what they mean by microplastics and forever chemicals.
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
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.
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.
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.

Shit, not quite as bad but this post reminded me I have clothes sitting in the dryer I wanted to hang up about 2 hours ago.
Do what I do- leave them in the dryer until you need to use the dryer for something else. Fuck the man!
I once went on a 2-week vacation and forgot to take out the very full and very moist trash out of my nice and warm kitchen.
It was… thriving, when I returned. Hard to describe how disgusting it was. I actually threw up while cleaning it out.
I once forgot a pear in my pantry when I left town for 2 months.
When I came back it was a stem in a puddle of black liquid.
Although I often don’t pay attention to my personal hygiene, I am very concerned about whether the trash can is full.
That explains why you smell.
It’s flattering you think that’s the reason I smell.
My brother. 2 days is really good. A week is normal. Yes it pisses me off!
911 was a glorious day
So… for those of us who were adults on 9-11, this format is disturbing.
For most of us who aren’t American, this format is funny.
More people died per day from COVID than this attack. More people have died from gun violence since this attack. America has a ton of problems, stop holding onto this attack so tightly for some reason.
as an american, or just anyone paying attention; you are spot on.
It wasn’t the people who died. It was the fact that the US was attacked by a foreign power.
We can fuck up our own shit fine. But if somebody else is fucking up our shit… then we get salty.
Unless Russia is rigging elections. That is a-ok, right?
“Rigging elections” may be a bit hyperbolic, but you get the point.No you don’t. You want to tell yourself, but you get mad at what the media conglomerate tells you to get mad about. You don’t give a fuck that somebody else fucks up your things until it becomes chosen to be popular political rage target then you rage at it
The us was complicit in this attack

To me 911 signified a change in the world. My awareness of global politics got supercharged, and the world seemed to turn into shit all of the sudden
Yeah because before then, Americans were still very isolated. The only “bad stuff” going on was across an ocean one way, or an ocean the other way. Suddenly most Americans actually realized they live in a big world that holds more than just America.
This is cold pressed lemmy. shlurp it up everyone. Updoots and whatnot
What are you hanging onto?
Oh, the fantasy that other people’s feelings and opinions don’t matter as much as your own?
For those of us who were in middle school on 9/11, this is hilarious.
Yeah — I get it.
Eh, I was, and I am undisturbed. I honestly find it incredibly hard to believe that any 40+ year old netizen could find any meme format actually disturbing.
If you lost your parents on that day too, I think you’d find it disturbing as well.
That is true, I likely would. But I would know that internet meme formats are cross-platform and freedom of expression dominates the internet as a whole over other priorities. So, I wouldn’t be able to do anything about it, and it wouldn’t be a great idea to try.
Oh wait… so I don’t have the same freedom of expression because I was orphaned on 9-11?
No, just have enough life experience to know when using it makes any sense.
The level of self righteousness here is through the roof.
Life experience: in one day I received more than you ever possibly will. And I pray you never go through what I went through.
Consider me othered.
Othered from what? Liberal democracy and freedom of speech? Good luck.
Yes, it is disturbing that asshole was president.
He stole that election fair and square.
Jesus… It’s been 22 years. Get over it.
Who are you talking to?
Jesus clearly.
Did he run out of cheeks to turn?
He’s comeback to clap some.
It’s been over 22.3 years; we’re allowed to laugh about it now.
You think it’s funny boy? Stop laughing rightmeow
Laugh yes, forget no.

Let me know when your parents get murdered by terrorists and I’ll find it funny too, okay?
The real terrorists are the ones who went into the Middle East after 9/11
Yeah — that makes sense.
Seems like you’re being sarcastic. Would you like to elaborate how 45,000+ civilian deaths in Afghanistan wasn’t an act of terror?
Actions have consequences.
Ok yup you’re actually just an asshole. Good to know the people who are offended by 9/11 jokes are people who I would prefer to offend.
Please name the Afghani people who attacked the U.S. on 9/11. Unless you think those consequences should be killing people who had absolutely nothing to do with it. 15 of the 19 9/11 terrorists were from Saudi Arabia. Shouldn’t the consequences have involved Saudi Arabia? As someone who was orphaned by Saudis on 9/11, shouldn’t you be upset that we went to war with Afghanistan and not Saudi Arabia?
Sure thing. It’s not society’s job to tiptoe around your trauma. That’s for you to deal with.
Wait… no trigger warnings ever? Awesome.
You’re like a snake enjoying a dessert of its own tail.
nah, some of us were making fun of this moment even back then.
Eh if you watched a tower fall, anywhere, and laughed, probably consider some shit.
Im all in to dark humor but there’s a gulf to laughing at nsfl stuff while it’s happening live.
This is not laughing about the towers falling. This is laughing about the Bush administration’s terrible reaction to it.
It was easy to make fun of for people who hadn’t lost their parents that day.
You have said this at least three times. Did you lose your parents on 9/11 or are you just speaking on behalf of others?
And if you lost your parents on 9/11, I would think you would appreciate people making fun of Bush not doing shit about it for minutes when he should have been out of that room and acting immediately.
Is 9-11 some Canadian 7-11?
I was an adult on 9/11. I am an American. I watched the second plane hit live on TV.
Bush being told that it happened and sitting there like the moron he is for a long time before excusing himself is not part of the tragedy. It is absolutely something to be mocked. And this is funny.
I was orphaned on that day. It’s not funny for me. But I think it’s okay it’s funny to you. But I think if our positions were reversed you wouldn’t find it quite so funny.
If you have sensitives, you should work through them on your own or in counseling. Maybe you’re not ready to view memes/jokes like this one, it’s okay to keep scrolling without sharing your personal trauma. I appreciate your perspective but it is very unique.
Are you ready to view one in which the body of Mathew Shepard is shown dangling from the fence with the words: me at the end of a very hard week
If the majority of people would react a certain way, that’s the social norm. Your personal reaction to seeing Bush’s face on 9/11, after 22 years, is just not the norm, nor anyone else’s responsibility. This is not a graphic image, and it was not addressed to you specifically.
So… the majority of people in the South of the USA are racists, fascists, Magaheads. Should we consider that the Norm?
No?
So we cannot use the tiny sample of Lemmings as a norm. Just saying.
Norms aren’t right/wrong. You are on lemmy viewing this image, that’s your population. And that’s what you should be considering when offering your perspective.
You’re being so heavily downvoted because people here don’t agree with you. Not that anyone is right/wrong.
Did you read what I wrote? Because I don’t think you did. The only reason I can think of that you would find mocking George W. Bush on 9/11 offensive is if you voted for him. And if you did, I think we can disregard what you have to say.
I hated him with a passion every single day throughout his entire tenure. Hanging Chad’s?? I opposed the opportunistic invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq so hard I was literally photographed by newspapers.
Smug, self-righteous, and wrong in every way — you have a litmus test for humanity that smells like the mutual admiration society.
I have literally been pepper sprayed my cops at protests against fascism since then.
How dare you.
Honestly, stranger in the internet, you have zero fucking idea.
Hey, it’s not my fault you are castigating people for mocking George W. Bush. That’s what you’re doing and that’s how I dare.
It’s a meme because it’s an iconic moment.
It’s not a person. That’s the whole point of memes.
Sorry to school you in this, but one again, you are wrong.
I’m pretty sure George W. Bush is, in fact, a person. And yes, it was an iconic moment. An iconic moment of George W. Bush acting like an idiot and an asshole. Why you think he deserves to be protected from being mocked I don’t know.
Nope
