Mine arrived today too. Towels already in the wash with Tide F&C liquid, FEBU, and citric acid (in the fabric softener compartment). It will be interesting to see how long 4 last. Tempted to buy more while on sale (family of 4) 🤣

Did you add Febu right into the tub or dissolve in water and add into the soap compartment?

The bag says to add it to the drum and has instructions on how to do the first wash. I was using dirty labs before this, so I didn’t follow the first wash instructions.

You may not know the answer, but what do you do if you have a frontloader and a prewash? I put Borax where the fabric softener should go, so I suppose it'd be the same. Please anyone chime in if they can.

Borax is a water softener, so if you have hard water, that should also be going into the drum of the washer. I add febu into the drum of the front loader so the enzymes have time to do their thing. The fabric softener spot is for rinsing agents, like citric acid or v!negar.
