I think we are all envious of your "new" machine, Anael!

I am finding out some fascinating information...the internet can take you on such a circle or down some rabbit holes. Let me explain...I have some more family linens to clean and I'm out of Oxy-Clean and don't want to go out in the chaos just to get some. I looked on the O-C container for ingredients and was referred to the website. I found what I wanted to know...I can make my own with washing soda and oxygen bleach which I have on hand. In this search I was looking for definitions of ingredients...the best source was:

https://www.cleaninginstitute.org/cl...edients_2.aspx

https://www.cleaninginstitute.org/

This site has the history of cleaning products which I found interesting...you may want to check it out. One of the problems with cleansers is how they act with hard water (which is a problem here) and that hard water may have extra calcium, magnesium, iron and manganese...so the next rabbit hole is how or if hard water consumption affects dairy cattle and milk production. Water is so important for cows to consume in order to produce milk...okay you may NOT want to check it out, but if I come up cyber missing I have fallen down that rabbit hole before I go and soak some more linens. I guess I'm just a useless information junkie.

OBTW I am coming up with some fun ideas of what to do with the linens!!more to come on that later. At this rate I will never get a JK quilt started
