Re: Clothes in moldy homes

[Guest guest]

Barb,

I was able to wash some of my belongings in hot water and bleech.

Things that were unwashable like leather, and suede I just threw out. Oh

well it gives reasons to go shopping. Start over. I'm trying not to

live in the past. I can't do anything except move foreward.

Barb, I'm doing that right now. I am using color-fast bleach,

Arm & Hammer super washing soda, and a little Arm & Hammer liquid. In

some cases, like 65/35 polyester, it seems to work the first time.

Sweaters probably will never get clean, maybe the same for socks. I

always was told to use Shaklee Basic L years ago for my baseball

uniforms. It did seem to work better than anything else I had used.

Oh, towels, I've got one I cant even stand to smell, after two

washings. Biff Byrum
