i recently started using a small amount of sodium hydroxide in a few hundred ml of water as my washing chemical in my washing machine, and it has been great for leaving absolutely no odor or residue or causing any harm to my clothes

until today, after i washed my bitcoin HODL shirt

it is one of those kind of screen prints with the thick, waterproof layer and a bit of a gloss to it that kinda ages nastly over time

well, it just went full out punk style today, all that paint layer was shredded and now it's just got the faded remnants of the base layer binder on the front of it

now it is properly punk lol

and all the wash had little flecks of orange screen print paint all through it... fortunately it's very windy here so it all gets shaken off quite nicely
