so its nothing more than a community that talks about Laundry? sorry if this sounds dumb but man I had been on reddit since the 2010's and I am just now learning about this lol
there's so many things that go into laundry care that mostt people need to know about but will never choose to learn about
Like iif your detergent uses certain enzymes then you cant use that detergent to clean wool clothing....but the thing is that like 95 % or more of all detergents have enzymes in them....so....
Also if you live in apartment building what rights do you have to clean out your washing machines' filters? What ability do you have to clean those filters?
Also which detergents are asstastically bad scams and should never be considered as detergents? Which detergents are actually good? Which companies have bribed those in the media to make it look.like their laundry based products work bbetter than theey actually do? Which detergents shoupd you consider for different msterials? How mucj will they cost over time? SHould you just make asnd use your own homemade detergents?
also Do homemade eco friendly fabric softeners exist and should you even use fabric softeners at all?
How good are copper and lamolin coated clothing at clesning themselves as both of these substances have been found to have anti microbial properties?
How do other regions that dont have easy access to washing machines and dryers do their laundry? Can we take any advice from theiir methods?
How eco friendly are certain types oof clothingsa and even certain types of washing methods? It has been. shown that some of the biggest polluters of microplastics into our world today are microscopic specks from cleaning aritficial fabrics like polyester
Ar ethere any scam washing machines or dryers in the msrket today? How can we tell that they are garbage at cleaning and drying clothing?
When you hhang dry clothing what types of methods could you use to ensure that you dont promote the growth of certain hydrophobic microbes?
The topics go on and on....
Lemmy has no community dedicated to talking about any of these topics...
hahaha, well consider me one of today's lucky 10,000 then. Well if you ever decide to start a dedicated laundry community, I'll subscribe. Sounds like you already have the perfect sidebar material written out already lol. Cheers!
Honestly I dontbhave the time in my average day to moderate the community so who would moderate it? I dont have the time T-T . Others probably do. They can start it if they want and moderate it if they want .
Yah I hear yah, me neither. I don’t have that much interest in Laundry to be honest otherwise I’d consider hosting the community on my instance. Oh well.
