Max LeibmanSomeone I know referred to dye-and-perfume-free laundry soap as “neurodetergent,” and I haven’t been able to stop thinking about that since.

Amy Kirk@maxleibman Am I the only one who actually hates perfume free soaps? I remember my mum buying Sanex and how much I hated it for
1. Smelling like ass and,
2. Their cringe ass, triggering advert with all the naked people swaying. Thing could literally have been the largest orgy ever filmed if not for the no sex.
Gimme rose petals. Gimme lavender. I like smelling nice instead of smelling like a thin skinned meat sack.
Juliamon@CottonCandyandRazorblades I can't speak to the adverts, but I would rather smell like a human than any of the detergent scents on the market, half of which give me crippling migraines, the other half of which I just don't like. If I want a perfume, I will wear a perfume. I don't want it combined with my clothes so I can't get away from it.
Joe W@juliamon @CottonCandyandRazorblades Don't wear perfume (or not the amount you think you need, one gets used to the smell and then overapplies). I have a colleague whose office I cannot stand to enter...
OK, better than the guy I used to share an office with, who had serious body odour problems.
I sweat a lot in hot weather. I change shirts during the day then. Sometimes more than once. I also do a quick wash then or even shower. Scent would just make me smell like sweaty roses...

I must say I like when my laundry smells like one of those artificial scents and I even bought a bottle of some kind of laundry parfume because my vegan ecological washing powder hardly has a smell and the scented conditioners aren't vegan. Somehow my brain is conditioned to only find laundry really nicely clean when it smells somewhat like the very scented washing powder I know from my childhood and not "neutral". I use only small amounts, but there has to be a little bit of "clean" smell.
I especially hate the "natural" smell of soap nuts. They smell sour, not clean.
Eric Brombaugh@maxleibman This is so good. I don't understand how anyone puts up with what we in this house call "laundry funk".
Pomegranate Pirate 🏳️🌈🏴☠️@emeb @maxleibman yeah, the laundry smells wafting into my yard from the neighbor’s hits me hard.
@Pomegranatepirate @maxleibman It's amazing how far those odors can travel.
Sassinake!Does it go in the BrainWasher?
@maxleibman Clean mental health
Averixus@maxleibman When I first read this I thought it said "neurodeterrent", but of course that's the perfumed soap
Kvn W@maxleibman Is that anything like eye bleach? https://eyebleach.me/
Davip Prestnod@maxleibman I have been looking for neurodetergent that actually cleans, I know this sounds like the start of an ad but actually I hope someone does invent something like this:-) #neurodetergent
Fuzzyspoon@david_preston @maxleibman we had good results and no stinky parfumes with Tide Hygenic Clean Free and Clear, but I haven’t been able to find it the last two times I’ve been out.
@david_preston @maxleibman looks like they changed it to “Refresh free and clear.”
@fuzzyspoon @maxleibman haven't seen anything like that in UK or thereabouts

lonely extrovert@fuzzyspoon @david_preston @maxleibman i stopped using those tide odor control pod thingys because when you use cold water they don't melt all the way and end up as semi-plastic blobs stuck to your clothing. and if you don't notice until it's been through the dryer then it's even more fun.
it does rinse out with warm water but it’s a pain in the ass.

@maxleibman, well. It's a lot less weird than calling it “soap”.
Jonathan Harker@maxleibman so, washing soda. Which, by the way, is also great in the dishwasher. Vendor diverse neurodetergent.

I switched to an Eco Egg solution about a decade ago. No more consuming laundry detergent every wash!
The balls (spherical or ovoid plastic) contain 2 different types of pellets, and one set needs to be replenished every so many washes.
The pellets can be scented or unscented.
Currently using one from https://aecodune.com/ (Provence, FR)
I deal with the residual stink on sweaty clothes, by adding antibacterial laundry cleanser (Sanytol or generic) in the fabric softener drawer.
Maike Küper@maxleibman funny because I‘m in this post and my ND partner likes the VERY scented stuff
Isocat@maxleibman Mygod. It's full of stars^h^h^h^h^hperfection!
laus@maxleibman with perfume its a neurodeterrent
