Laundry Stripping

Used to deep clean whites especially, but also towels and other laundry. You just need a plastic tub or bathtub to fit whatever it is you want to strip. Everyone is always amazed at how grey-brown the water turns from supposedly "clean" laundry. Order the stuff online, since I can't find all of it at stores. 

Prep this and future loads by mixing:

48 oz. powder cascade mixed with

3lb.  box Oxi-Clean White Revive

Keep this in it's own container. 

Now fill tub or some container with HOT HOT HOT water. 

Add 1 cup of the above mixture, PLUS:

1 cup of Persil Pro White power pearls 

1 cup of vinegar

Add clothes and let sit overnight, or longer, stirring occasionally with big wooden paddle or a broom handle. 

Squeeze out as much of the liquid as you can when finished and rinse. I wrench and rinse myself, and then wrench water out again and finish on a rinse cycle in the washing machine with the spin. 

Dry in the dryer, or, better, on a line outside. 

*If clothes have blood on them, wash that out with cold water first before doing this. Heat sets blood.
