i googled to see how bamboo yarn is made, and the link i clicked on is a site “all about organic, natural, & sustainable clothing and eco-fashion”

“Sodium hydroxide is a strong alkaline base also known as caustic soda or lye. In its dry crystalline form, caustic soda is one of the major ingredients of Drano.” OMG DRANO!!!!

have they heard of… soap?? or do they just wash their clothes in plain water???

“Dishwashing detergents and shampoos usually have a base, rather than alkaline, pH”

THESE MEAN THE SAME THING!

also weird that they’re telling me to use some surely synthetic detergent to wash my clothes and not something “organic, natural, & sustainable”

@rabcyr Soap is made of lye and fat mixed together. Sodium Hydroxide, aka Lye, is made from natural hardwood ashes soaked in pure water. Lye is a natural and renewable substance that has been used to treat fibers for millions of years. Don't let the fact they put it in Drano spook you.
@KaiserDrgn i suppose the sarcasm is easier to miss if you didn’t see the first two posts in this thread
@rabcyr oh... Well now I feel foolish. Sorry.
@KaiserDrgn that's okay. you led me to look up exactly how to make lye!
@rabcyr they probably use dr bronner's, which I've heard is actually good despite the packaging
@sl2c that website has never mentioned it, but i might try it
