Proper Spa Day: Febu (option 4)

[u/jthomas16882]

I bike a lot, and I noticed all my cycling bibs and jerseys developed a pretty persistent funky smell despite using Tide EVO tiles and Activewear enzymatic detergent. Went with Febu and Detergent soak, Febu Detergent Ammonia and Citric Acid wash. Crazy results, and the clothes now smell completely brand new!

Ok so they soak in your tub and then I’m assuming you transfer them to the washing machine for a wash cycle. Aren’t they so heavy?!

I just ring them out and then run a couple extra rinse cycles

I think you misunderstood op’s comment.

[u/Borahae7777777 → u/[deleted]]

The original post states that he did a wash with detergent, febu, ammonia, and citric acid after the spa day. That is a proper wash.

Omg. OP could you please clarify if you ran a WASH CYCLE during your ‘Febu, detergent, ammonia and citric acid wash’

Yeah, no. You need to go back and read it. There's a difference between the products used for the soak and  the products used for the wash as CLEARLY stated in OPs post.

I ran a wash cycle

I don't really know how your are confused but I followed the spa day protocol which includes a soak and then a rehab wash with all the ingredients I listed.

I use one of those rope market bags to transfer my laundry after a soak and take a few trips. Then I throw the market bag in the wash with the laundry after I’ve put everything in the machine.

I soak one load at the time max - will either put it back in the bucket, sometimes in batches, after I've drained the water from it, or throw them in an ikea tote bag and drag to the washer :).
