Yes, poison ivy oil can remain on clothes even after washing them, potentially causing a reaction if it comes into contact with skin.
White clothes can look dingy due to a buildup of residue from detergent or fabric softener, washing them with colored clothes that bleed, using hard water for laundry, not using enough detergent, or washing them at high temperatures that can cause yellowing.
Yes, poison ivy plants have an oil coating on their leaves. If an animal or even a garden tool comes in contact with poison ivy and gets the oils on it you can get the oil on your skin through contact with that object. A delayed reaction to the oil is what causes the poison ivy rash. Technu and other companies sell a "soap"made for dissolving poison ivy oils off your skin, your pets, clothes, or even garden tools.
Sand in the washing machine can come from a variety of sources, such as sandy clothes, beach towels, or even pockets of clothing. To prevent this, shake out sandy items before washing and consider using a laundry bag for items that may contain sand. Regularly cleaning the washing machine filter or drain pump can help remove any sand that gets through.
dont touch it at all use a latex glove and be extremely careful, because without washing u may have grems, and if u do the soap may poison the egg even if u dry off your hands very well
let your sump pump, pump the water into rain barrels and use the water for plants, washing clothes, or even flushing your toilets.
Gloves keep your hands sterile. Even after washing, germs can remain on your hands and cause infection if your performing surgery into an artery for example.
The first patent for a washing machine was granted to Jacob Schaffer in 1767 in Germany, but the concept of washing clothes with mechanical assistance dates back even earlier. The first electric washing machine was developed in the United States in the early 1900s, with notable innovations by companies like the Hurley Machine Company. Over time, washing machines evolved, becoming more efficient and widely used across the world.
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.
Washing machine filters are cleaned not changed unless they are broken, they are usually inside above the wash bin, check the instructions inside the lid or your owners manual for the location of yours.
When I was young in Liverpool, England, in many British households, Monday was wash day. The dirty family clothes would be put into a dolly tub of hot water, soap added, and a wooden paddle (a posser) used to stir and agitate the clothes for a very long time. After several rinses, the wet washing would be pegged out on the line (in the backgarden, the backyard, or even in the back-entry in some city areas of closely built terraced housing). A constant look out for rain had to be kept - especially in rainy Britain.All that changed with the invention of the washing machine. With a modern electrical washing machine, the family clothes can be washed and spun almost dry in one go, taking less than a couple of hours. On a rainy day, the damp clothes can be dried in a tumble drier. So what took all day (wash day Monday) now takes a couple of hours or more.
It depends. If the poison isn't fatal, then yes. If the poison is fatal, it still depends. If the poison is slow reaction, then that is possible. If it is quick reaction, it might even be impossible to live even if you called the ambulance.
Just put the heavier clothes (jeans, etc.) on each side equally. There's no way really to be 100% right as once the machine starts and fills with water, it agitates the clothes any way. If it does unbalance then just put some clothes on the opposite side to even it out.
