[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I use unscented tide, oxiclean free and unscented dryer sheets because I was raised in an upper class white household. This is a cultural thing and I try not be judgmental but I genuinely have a physical aversion to scented laundry and while I like to buy second hand, especially kid clothes, I spend a lot of time trying to soak the perfume out of them.

What works best is oxiclean first and then vinegar. Soak in a bucket overnight for both stages.

IDK what that has to do with upper class, although perhaps age is a factor. I grew up working class, fabric softeners were around (liquid form when I was a kid) but my mom never bothered with it and personally I loathe the slick feeling fabric softener imparts on fabrics, never mind the awful scents. I actually hang most of my laundry (in the basement, where I keep a fan blowing to help reduce wrinkles and speed drying time, although I do have a clothesline, I just don't care to be lugging wet laundry up the stairs) and have for most of my adult life.
