Boy howdy do I have a laundry hack for my fellow thrifters and upcyclers:
Removing old perfumed laundry detergent that gives me migraines used to take FOREVER.
In desperation today after washing a few shirts at least 3 times using baking soda, vinegar, and borax (not together) soaking each time, I threw about a cup of 90% isopropyl alcohol in a plain water wash and let it soak for about 2 hours. After it rinsed and spun out, the smell was nearly GONE.
WUT... HOLY CRAP.
