but it could cause problems if they were washed in bleach because if the bleach is heated it will accelerate the deterioration of the fibers

Is dry cleaning better than washing clothes with soap?

Dry cleaning is more effective for certain types of fabrics and stains that may be damaged or difficult to remove with regular washing. However, it is also more costly and uses harsh chemicals. Washing clothes with soap is usually gentler on fabrics and can be an effective cleaning method for most everyday clothing items.


How do you get soap out of clothes?

You didn't mention if you were hand washing some of your clothes, or, you were washing them in the machine. If you are washing them in the washing machine then you are using too much soap. I use liquid soaps instead of powdered. I often find that powdered soap can stick to clothing sometimes and also clog up the hoses and drains faster. If you are hand washing then use a gentle detergent such as ivory or even baby soaps and let soak, drain out the soap water and replace with tepid to cool water (cold water gets suds out faster) then place your item you are hand washing on a thick towel (lay flat) and roll the towel up to get excess water out and then place the item on another towel that is dry and let air dry. When using your washing machine you should put in a box of baking soda and put through a cycle (you can also use some Dawn dish soap that cuts grease) and put your washing machine through a full cycle to prevent clog build up from soaps. I do this every 2 months.


How do you get rid of the smell in clothes you left in the washer?

To get rid of the smell in clothes that you've left in the washer too long.......put your washing machine cycle on the rinse cycle, let it fill with cold water and put in 1 to 2 cups of White Vinegar. Let the clothes soak for 15 to 20 minutes and then start the cycle again so they can spin. By that time they should be ready for the dryer and your clothes will smell nice and clean.


How do you Convert 5 ounces of liquid soap to 5 ounces of dry soaps?

A form for baseball hats that a person can use in the dishwasher to wash baseball hats?

I would not recommend washing your hat in the dish washer because it can ruin the dishwasher! if you do not want to shrink the cap then put it in the washer and then hang to dry!!! Do not wash your hat in any machine. It will ruin the bill. Wash it by hand in the sink, use a little brush. And keep the bill as dry as possible.
