I was wondering the same thing. It might something like Borax. Borax has a lot of uses for household cleaning or as a laundry booster. It helps me get rid of sticky hairspray residue
I kept saying, OH my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh throughout your video. Sad to know someone lived in all this filth. But, WOW, you gave new life and cleanliness to this home, even cleaning the clothes. Blessings to all of you and your hard work! Now, I am going to mop my floors!
