    Has anyone else experienced the pods for laundry with the melting of the outside covering melting
    On your clothes and having the fabric stick together? I’ve had it happen several times and had to
    Remove it with vinegar. I was given the pods so that”s why I used them, the powder ones and the
    Liquid both have done it. Thank you for all your good cleaning methods, I use a lot of them.

      Hi, Louise! I have definitely had this happen…it’s the reason I started making my own laundry detergent and pods. I had a friend show up at the pool with one of those pods sticking to her bathing suit. Thanks so much for sharing your story here! ~Jess

    Why lavender and lemon oil? I’m allergic to lavender oil, can something else be used?

      You can definitely try tea tree oil. Lavender has bacteria fighting properties, and lemon helps remove buildup and grime. Tea Tree Oil is also a great bacteria fighter.
