![]() ![]() I’ve got big plans for those sometime soon. I also hear sheets and towels are an eye-opening experience. If you really want to kick this experience off with a bang, I suggest well-used exercise clothes or PT gear. I also threw in a bunch of stained wash clothes that didn’t fit my color sort I didn’t care if they became off-color, but I was tired of them being stiff even fresh out of the dryer. Strip groups of like colors together like you would in your regular laundry. ![]() 2) Gather the “clean” clothes you plan to strip. Hats off to them for being stocked with all of the hard to find items during Corona2020. I eventually found everything at the commissary. ![]() Everyone knows Calgon kills coronavirus so it makes sense it’s so hard to find.

So here we go- my Lazy Mom’s Guide to Laundry Stripping with the recipe by GOCLEANGO: 1) Buy suggested cleaning supplies.

You may have already heard about the laundry stripping craze that’s hitting social media right now. ![]()
