Total Time5 hours hrs 15 minutes mins
Yield: 0
- ½ cup Borax
- ⅓ cup sodium carbonate
- ¼ cup regular laundry detergent
- tub filled with the hotest water from the tap
- laundry you wish to strip chemicals from
Fill tub up with the hottest water that comes out of your tap. While the tub is filling add in the Borax, sodium carbonate, and laundry soap.
When the tub is filled ⅔ of the way up, add in the laundry you are wanting to strip the chemcials and bacteria from. Be sure every piece has been emersed and is wet.
Let sit until the water reaches room temperature. This really depends on how big your tub is and how much water is in there. For my master bedroom tub, it takes about 5 hours.
Once the water has reached room temperature, begin ringing the water out of the laundry and transfer it to the washing machine. Run on a rinse cycle with no extra chemicals. Dry like normal.
