Tide is so spendy. Wonder what the active ingredient in tide is..
Borax is sodium borate or similar. I am going to try it. I read some reviews and it seems to be like bleach in that it freshens musty clothes and also improves the ability of existing detergent.
I have been running a couple spoons of lysol concentrate with my detergent but that is marginally effective on really musty clothes that have been in a hamper for a week - wet with sweat and grease.
I am going to look for a better detergent when this 30 pound generic bucket is gone. Getting some krud cutter too. Gonna try a quarter cup with a load and some borax. See if my jeans come out alive or melted. :/
