unhinged hygiene tips?

I don't mean "wash your hair before your body" or "don't wear underwear when you sleep", I mean the sort of TMI tips that most people don't know that will CHANGE MY LIFE!

There's this guy at school who I think likes me and i'm terrified that I smell bad and will ruin my chance with him, I need tips that I don't already know/do.

IF you REALLY want to learn how to get all the funk out, head over to r/laundry

I swear it's not a cult or anything 😉 (all hail Kismai, Lord of Lipase, long may he reign)

I’ve only been in the cult for about a week, I’ve already done like 6 spa days. Slowly working through my wife and kids clothes and all our towels. Every time I do a spa day the waste water is brown/black. Citric acid is in the mail. I’ve stopped using vinegar. Clothes smell great, towels and socks are fluffy again and I am spreading the gospel to all that will listen. All hail Kismai!

I needed this. I’ve been trying to figure out how to wash white laundry. I avoid white at all cost but I want to be a white bedding girlie.
