Sounds like some good tips.
I have always used Dawn for my laundry. I will try some of these other tips, but me personally I wouldn’t stock up on it in preparation for an emergency.
Besides I will probably be dead before I would get it all used up and my kids would wonder what the h*ll was she going to do with all that softener. Lol
I was thinking stains might be way down on the list of emergency situations. I’ve been a survivalist for most of my life, and while it’s good to have all the good things in your home, you may need to survive outside your home and things.
I don’t know your living conditions, but if bad goes to worse and you don’t have enough weaponized people to protect your property, all the canned goods, toilet paper and soap won’t save you.
Have some get away needs already in your vehicle. And the the know how to survive without luxuries.
If it is just a supply caused financial crisis, supply of good may help, but be ready to protect it.
