Something Happy Just Happened!
More recently I’ve consistently FAILED to get the rust out of My Little Pony tails, and admittedly I was very sad about this. Why could I suddenly not do it?
I’m kind of slow sometimes, and after a few months of failures realized it started after I’d bought a new batch of OxyClean and dumped it into my tub with the old stuff.
The thing is, the old stuff wasn’t JUST OxyClean, it was Jillee’s home-made laundry soap (the HomeMade Powdered Laundry Detergent minus the scent wax beads… has her site ALWAYS been that annoying…..) which I didn’t like for my laundry. It was boss at getting rust out of pony tails, though.
Two trips to the store ago I saw a big bar of Zote laundry soap and decided to grab it. Jillee’s detergent has Fels Naptha bar soap grated into it, and I figured the reason I suddenly couldn’t get tails clean was either the washing soda, baking soda, borax, or Fels Naptha because OxyClean on it’s own wasn’t able to do it.
So before, I would get the tail very wet, get a toothbrush very wet, dip the brush in the detergent mix, lay the tail on the countertop, and then aggressively brush the powder into the hair until clean.
This time I tried using Zote (which admittedly smells kind of strong and unpleasant, eucalyptus I think?) and OxyClean and…
The soap was it! The soap is what was missing! Dish soap didn’t do it, but laundry soap does!
I had already scrubbed that part of the tail with just OxyClean before remembering I had bought the bar of Zote, and it wasn’t clean UNTIL IT WAS.
I’d wet the toothbrush, rubbed it on the soap (I didn’t feel like unwrapping it completely and didn’t want it all wet), dipped THAT into the OxyClean, and then scrubbed like before.
I will use the same toothbrush until it literally falls apart, ok. It’s squished because I use it to scrub out rusty MLP legs.
I should cut the bristles short on a brush for that…. That might work. I’ll have to try it if I remember.
Ohohohoho I’m so happy that I was dancing while scrubbing rust out of doll hair.
