Rust , oil , grease stains
Dawn dish soap has waxes to protect skin ,
and to chase spots on drying glassware .
so it does not remove cooking oil/grease
as fast as Laundry powder .
Dawn will not clean clothes .
Oils must be made slightly polar ,
Hot Lye and TSP will force oils to mix
with water w/o harm to cloth .
You simply blend the proper amt of water
for max economy , and your clothes will
last 20 years . Laundry powder will pH to
12 ! Thats skin softning range !
-----------------------------------
laundry powder is simply Tri-Sodium
Phosphate way diluted .
Liquid Laundry soaps lack the pH = 12
to cut the grease , so grease blocks the
stain removers .
so stain removers wont work .
Use TSP , rinse , apply :
1) enzymes for protein, blood . (ZOUT)
2) Naval Jelly for Rust ,
Blood has Iron , but ZOUT desolves
the Prt' which holds that microscopic
Fe (rust) , so use Naval Jelly last .
Now you can add softner !
ha ha lazy ppl want to use liquid , cause
it needs no/less softner !
Clorine bleach is oxidizer ( Sodium
HypoClorite 3-5% )
will interfere with the above !
Use it only if you are sure the tough
stains are out .
Bleach is oxidizer ..
oxyalic acid is both (Naval JellY )
-------------------------
Bluing is a dye , DONT use on warm
colors .
Some dirt stains need simply direct application
of powder or TSP and flexing the fibers .
Many strong chems wont do anything
til the temp is above 100 F , and concentration
is hi and you flex it into the cloth .
some U.V. coatings will wash away .
Lets start a discussion on them ..
