let's give it a go. so i have my pot here filled up with really hot water, then i'll add to it a half of a tablespoon of bor, half tablespoon of washinsoda and then finally ant tablespoon of laundry detergent. if you're doing this in a bathtub you want to use the exact same ratio but make it a quarter cup, quarter cup and half cup of detergent. then you want to grab your prewashed laundry. today i'm just going to do a couple of dish towel, give it a stir and if you're doing this in a bathtub, you could wash your comforter or your sheet set, and then you're pretty much done. from there you just let it soak for about four hours, give it a stir about once per hour and then you're going to come back and check how gross the water o and i have to say, i tried a batch of this earlier, and i was surprised by how murky the water got. >> oh, no. >> wow.
