I am from the island my mama use to put a big bucket of water on the outside fireplace and pour in washing Soda in the water and put in her white sheets and pillowcases and let those sheet and pillowcase boil for a couple minute Then let them cool and then lather them with bar soap and then rise them under running water and Han them on the line outside, when they get dried and spread on the bed it's one of the most freshest smelling sheet you could ever smell you fell right to sleep, you brought me back memories of my mama and her long line of white sheets and white pillowcases that was soak and boil in washing Soda, blowing in the wind and sunshine, thank you ❤

Hi Annie, just wanted to thank you for the work you do. You've helped me so much. I'm trying to avoid so many chemicals . I grew up in the 70's (I'm 62) when new products were a hit. I'm older and wiser now.

Now I understand why my grandma did what she did. I know now how she kept whites white. Now I do too. I hang clothes outside cuz I love the way they smell. Brings back memories of my childhood of fresh sheets that was softer. I'm going to start using this method this week. Thank you so much.<br>From Decatur, Il

Video only halfway and I’ve already learned how to get stains out of white clothes! Thanks so much. I’ve been using bleach on my white cotton towels and washcloths and cotton underwear and wondered why they were becoming thinner.

We used to live in a countryside in France and in summer my mother used to after wash the whites in washing machine. She take them out and rub them with Naturalsoap everywhere then I used for her to place those garments that have been washed on the grass and with strong sunlight leave them for an hour then I used to turn them over and repeat the same process for the other side and at the end we got pure white garments. No need for chemicals.

Ground in make-up on blouse necklines, and enchilada and other mystery sauces that I end up wearing after every meal. I knew most of these, but had forgotten them by getting lulled into new products that are expensive, caustic, and do not really work. Thank you, Annie, for the reminders!
