dump a cup of baking soda and a cup of white wine vinegar, wash again, they'll be fine.

    I see this often. Does this work better than just washing again with tablets? Or even just a water wash?

    washing anything that got moldy (like cloth napkins from the kitchen that sat in the hamper) / funky - I use a solid tablet detergent (blue land plastic free) and a baking soda / vinegar. works great.

    Brah you shouldn't be using tide pods regardless. They're no good for your wallet or the environment.

    I don't use them myself but sort of get why people use dishwasher tablets, but laundry pods/tabs make zero sense to me. Not all loads are the same size.

    How so? I guess they are more expensive but I can afford like $2 per pack for the convenience of just throwing them in. Am I doing it wrong? Serious question

    Tide Pods use what is known as PVA plastic as the 'dissolvable plastic'. PVA exactly what they mean by microplastics and forever chemicals.

    Vinegar and baking soda will cancel each other out. I would just use regular white distilled vinegar, don't need to use the fancy stuff on it.

    they react, they don't equalize, and the results do a fine job of cleaning / removing smells. look, I'm not going to try to convince you your understanding of chemistry is incorrect, but try it before you knock it.
