Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.
Rules…
- Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
- Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
- Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
- No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
- New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.

I eyeball it, probably a generous cup (roughly 250mL) per load, maybe more?
Excellent thanks Klem
You can get 30% acetic acid at hardware stores, which is just white vinegar concentrated 6x. It's cheaper per mole of acetic acid, so get some to use for cleaning and save the food-grade 5% for cooking.
Would this not destroy the curtains? I'd be reluctant to put that high a concentration of acid on fabric
Typically one would dilute the acid a bit first, but I don't think that aceitc acid can do much damage to typical fibers quickly enough to be an issue. I use it at about 12% and I have no cause to think it's hurting my clothes, sheets or curtains.
Interesting, I'll have to keep an eye out for the concentrated stuff
