I'm off most chemicals, too...even most hand soap.
The products I mention are organic, as far as I have been able to learn. And they certainly feel like it.
There was mention of a nut, or nutshell, from abroad, that I came across two days ago, when looking at the website of a Himalayan crystal salt supplier...
Uh...will you share on the white socks thingy? I wear mine as slippers. By the time I can no longer bear the color of the bottoms, they are into holes, and go in the garbage.
I haven't yet tried a concentrated pre-soak with a little water and one of my usual products. I think I'd need a washboard, too.
